fucking gladiator?  fucking cameron crowe?  fucking russell crowe?  are you kidding me?  jesus.  other than marcia gay harden, steven soderbergh, benicio del toro, and bob dylan, the oscars were the lamest thing i ever saw.  by far the most brilliant thing steve martin said was, “you loved him in meet the parents, you loved him in there’s something about mary, and you were fine with him in mystery men.  please welcome ben stiller.”  nice.
