Could someone tell Frank Pierson from the MPAA not to wear that tacky checked jacket on TV? It's giving me interference patterns and trails that make Sigourney Weaver look like she's on fire.

Oh right: Everyone you thought would get nominated for an Oscar did. The representative of the hipster film community, Ms. Sofia Coppola, got nominated for everything possible — including best film. (I can't wait to see her moping her way down the Oscar red carpet, this little depressed waif surrounded by towering blonde actresses.)

And of course: Cold Mountain and Nicole Kidman brutally snubbed. Guess she misses her fake Virginia Woolf nose now.
