It's 10:15 p.m. here on the East Coast and I'm quickly losing interest in the Oscar telecast. They really lost me when Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep came out for the Robert Altman award and they rambled on incoherently. I literally did not comprehend a word they said.
I wasn't planning on blogging during this event, but it's really the only way to make the time go by. How can the entertainment center of the world put on such a non-entertaining event? All those entertainers under one roof, and it's a snoozefest.
Anyhoo, last year I watched with my wine and cheese (in a tribute to Sideways) but this year I'm detoxing my body, so rather than getting a nice buzz, I'm sipping herbal tea that's supposed to help cleanse my colon (which is somewhat Hollywood-like since they're all obsessed with their colons out in L.A.). I know I'm lame, but I'm trying to get healthy here, and as a kindness to my kidneys and liver, I've taken alcohol off the menu. I even went to the St. Patty's Day Parade in Belmar today and I didn't have one beer there either. I think that officially makes me a non-Irish Finn, now.
So for better or worse, it's a sober Oscars for me.
