Scenes from a hat: Other ways the Oscars have gone mad

[Rover_Wow]

As we know, Chris Rock hosted the highly revamped Oscars last night. As some of us know, he is also credited with this tidbit: "You know the world's gone mad when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest NBA player is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the USA of arrogance and the Germans don't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named Bush, Dick, and Colon."

So, I put two and two together. Other ways the Oscars have gone mad:
- They won't give Jim Carrey even a nomination, but his In Living Color co-star gets a win, his Bruce Almighty co-star gets a win and two of his films this year both get a win.
- One minute Brad Bird is accepting his award, about 30 minutes later, his animated alter ego comes out to describe another category's nominees.
- One night, Halle Berry shows up at the Razzies. The next night, she shows up to present an Oscar.

I think the Halle Berry/Razzies thing also happened to Christopher Walken. He got a Razzie for his role in the movie "The Country Bears" and an Oscar in "Catch Me If You Can". I might be wrong, but I do know that C.W. has a connection between the Razzies and the Oscars.

Anyway...

Other Ways The Oscars Have Gone Mad (or Can Go Wrong)

Laura Linney and Liam Neeson demonstrate pages 133-147 of the Kinsey Report.

The show goes from a bloated 4+ hours down to a slimming 1 hour and 30 minutes, not counting commercials.

The actors and actresses realize that the Oscars is nothing but a living joke.

Next year's host: David Letterman

I'd prefer actual incidents, like:
- The fact that two of this year's Best Songs are not in English (and there have been two in the last 76 years).
- Two of the three best animation movies this year have a guy playing a girl: Incredibles' Brad "Edna" Bird and Shrek 2's Larry "Far Far Away Idol" King.

Dorthy Chandler, p!$$ed off that the Oscars aren't in her pavillion anymore, mass-murders the cast of the Harry Potter series.
