Back in March, I bitched about how ABC had pulled its broadcast feeds from Cablevision, my cable provider, over fee disputes. And now the same thing is happening again, with Fox…
obsession: Canadian TV (and film) (because I’m hungry for something new and good) boyfriend: Esai Morales in Caprica (not so much his character, though: he’s sorta sad and scary) psyched: nothing (it feels like we’re in a movie dead zone) girl crush: no one dreading: She’s Out of My League (for perpetuating obnoxious stereotypes) enemy: … more…
Okay, time for the postmortem. Did any award surprise you? (Nominees and winners here.) Who gave the best speech? (It was Sandra Bullock, wasn’t it?)

ABC and Cablevision had better resolve their differences before Sunday, or else I’m not gonna be able to watch the Oscars (because ABC will pull their signal from Cablevision). And then I’m gonna be really mad.
The short-films categories are often the tie-breakers in Oscar pools, and often everyone is just guessing who’ll win what because usually, no one except Academy voters have seen these nominees.
