Oscars: The Morning After

 A fairly uneventful Oscar telecast last night. Obviously after the events of last year, pedestrian was a good thing. 

As predicted, Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner, scoring a total seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actor & Supporting Actress.

Congratulations to all the winners, especially Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan, whose careers I've been following since the original '78 Halloween and 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Thankfully there wasn't a lot of filler material as in previous years, just awards & musical performances, as it should be. Hopefully that's the script going forward. But we all know how Hollywood likes a rewrite.
