The 82nd Annual Waste of Time

By Rick Lax

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosted Hollywood's four hour pat on the back on March 7.

I'm so mad at myself right now. I feel like I do when I lock myself out of the house.

Here's what I'm talking about: Every year I watch the Oscars from start to finish, and every year, when the broadcast is through, I say to myself, "That was the most boring four hours of my life. I could have spent that time treading water or doing the watusi. Next year, I'm not watching the Oscars."

Yeah, I just watched the Oscars.

Giving that I'm doomed to waste hours of my life every year, can we at least cut it down to three? Can we knock out some of these categories? Best Short Documentary Film? Best Sound Mixing?

If you answered no to those questions, tell me: Who won Best Short Documentary Film this year? No Googling!

Well, if a hangover is not on the menu, than what is?
Perhaps an acoustical and soulfully beautiful taste of the kitty?

Hi Cypher,

Your obscure references never fail to amuse/confuse me.

Oddly, I'm actually not a Beastie Boys fan. I mean, I like their stuff when I hear it, but never sought it out. So, yeah, I'm having trouble understanding your comment...
