Hard. Scorsese is a much more prominent historical and public figure (apparently), and yet AMPAS is doing the “lifetime achievement” dance with him as well. <BR/><BR/><I>Crash</I> was mentioned as the dark horse since it received the nominations. Even after Ebert said it would get it, I personally still had a hard time believing that Haggis was gonna get the chance to kiss the Best Pic Oscar. Ah well. Know what would have been even wackier? If <I>Capote</I> had won it! That would have been hilarious, as <I>Capote</I> can only brag about being a well-made film made relevant by a CNN report.<BR/><BR/>Everybody seems to be taking a huge dump on Jon Stewart. I thought he was funny in many areas. He just. . .oh, I don’t know, <I>faltered</I> in some areas. Still, I want to cut him a break.
