[...] This movie ticked me off when I saw it in theaters. Here’s the guy, Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), who’s got everything in the world going for him, and he decides to drop out and seek freedom in the wild. Along the way, he meets lots of oddball characters, but eventually ends up living in an abandoned bus in the wilds of Alaska. It also snagged a Best Supporting Actor nod for Hal Holbrook at this year’s Oscars. [...]

Sorry — I meant Once, not Once Again. Stayed up too late watching the Oscars! :)

Very entertaining Oscars. Great coverage, Jane!

I was so happy that the song from Once Again won, and that they gave Marketa her moment. She was lovely and actually had something relevant to say.

Was there a slippery spot in front of one of the mics? It seemed like several people — Miley Cirus (which, by the way, ????), Colin Firth and someone else whom I can’t remember. That could have been ugly.

We just watched Michael Clayton before the Oscars. Behind on movies this year. Tilda Swinton was fantastic. A lot of great performances this year. I feel for all of those who didn’t win, but would never call them “losers.”

Thanks, Jane.

Ooh! Love Jon Stewart for giving Marketa her moment. Awesome move that makes it worth it if the show runs a bit long.

Hey, Julie!

Kris – Jennifer Garner tripped *last year at the Oscars (I think it was the Oscars). Wow, my heart stopped when that happened, but she made a funny comment about how she does all her own stunts. Smooches to that girl.

Oh darn, I missed Jennifer Garner. How did I miss her?? She tripped?

What IS up with the hair? Very strange.

I was very glad that Jennifer Garner didn’t trip on the way to the mic. I just love her so much and felt bad for her when that happened.

Oh, it’s Owen Wilson! Wow!

I just realized that John Travolta is channeling “The Rock” with his hair-do tonight. Check it out. They’re like twins. Must have been part of Travolta’s “game plan.”
