Sunday 27 February 2005 — This is close to 20 years old. Be careful.
Two tidbits from the movie world before tonight’s Oscars:
First, Halle Berry won last night’s Razzie award for Worst Actress, but had the class and sense of humor to show up and accept:
“I want to thank Warner Brothers for casting me in this piece of shit,” she said as she dragged her agent on stage and warned him “next time read the script first.”
Berry [said] her mother taught her that to be “a good winner you had to be a good loser first.” She received a standing ovation.
Second, Lilly Tao (GirlHacker) has searched press releases to compile the contents of the goodie bag given away at the Oscars:
A three-night stay for two at St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort & Spa in Dana Point, CA (includes personal “surf butler”) ($5,900)
Kay Unger cashmere pajama bottoms ($500) (only the bottoms??)
$10,000 package for a three-night stay at the Opus Hotel in Vancouver, three nights at the Four Seasons Resort in Whistler, lift passes, helicopter transfers, limo transfers, numerous meals, Pilates session, spa treatments, and two OXIA oxygen personal canisters.
As if these people need freebies!

Celebrity worship is just another facet of this exponential increase in over-consumption we are witnessing. Common sense suggests it will end and badly at some point.
The oscars were last night? I thought they were last week...I guess the buzz has been so loud for so long that I just figured that it HAD to be over.
Good for Halle for being man (!?) enough to show up for her award. The movie must suck, but she does look mighty fine in that cat suit. MEOW!
Oh, and saucer of milk for my friend Andrew, by the way...
