Oscar luv

Juno gets noms (not OM NOM NOM NOMs) for Best Picture, Actress. w00ts for Ellen Page. And Cate Blanchett for playing Bob Dylan. And Tilda Swinton.

I don't see how Atonement doesn't win its nominations, though; it's an Oscar Movie™ if there was one.

The Best Actor category is an embarrassment of riches: Day-Lewis, Clooney, Depp, Jones and Mortensen. Not a bad pick in the bunch.

Eh. It's...it's not bad.

I think the CNN headline to this story leaves a bit to be desired: "WRTV: Police: 11-month old was legally drunk" -- actually, I doubt an 11-month-old can be legally drunk, but yeah, we know what they meant. The actual story headline, "Mom, Fiancee Say They Didn't Give 11-Month-Old Booze" is at least more technically accurate, though the subhead should be something like "But They So Totally Did."

The story is typical Americana; the mugshots are priceless, though.

CNN pwnzored by readers

So CNN dedicated a bit of its lead package yesterday to the idea that black female voters face a unique quandary about whether to vote for the black candidate or the female candidate. Bad form. Five hundred points from Hufflepuff.

But then they posted a story about the resultant deserved backlash for being so superficial and condescending, including an e-mailer named Tiffany who puts it thusly: "Duh, I'm a black woman and here I am at the voting booth. Duh, since I'm illiterate I'll pull down the lever for someone. Hm... Well, he black so I may vote for him... oh wait she a woman I may vote for her... What Ise gon' do? Oh lordy!"

Okay, 200 points for posting that story, but you're still in the hole.

RIP Heath Ledger

There are girls downstairs in the office crying, now.
