The Cove, The Cove, The Cove...they gave the Best Feature Doc Oscar to The Cove! And Fisher Stevens ate up all the thank-you time. How dare the orchestra kick Louise Psihoyos and Ric O'Barry off before they've spoken. But they did.

And The Hurt Locker has won for Best Editing....another favorable omen. As Jett just said in a text, "The writing's on the wall."

Wow - Short Circuit's Fisher Stevens wins an Oscar - well deserved......How embarrassing that Tyler Perry is the only person tonite who didn't seem like a lanky high-schooler reading off a cue card in speech class......

I'm still pissed at the sight of Richard Nixon. Fuck him. Bless you, Daniel Elsberg.

Dear Quentin, tone it down a notch buddy. Lay off the Coke just a little bit.

I think the only reason they cut off Psihoyos and O'Barry was because of the guy with the "Text DOLPHIN to #XXXXX" sign. Almost instantly after he held it up, the producers cut to the old folks in the audience and cranked up the music.

Rusty, it was neat to see Ellsberg in the audience. Did someone interview him on the red carpet?

I didn't see him on the carpet r&f. Was close to him once in person at a conference in Colorado. Courageous and humble guy.

Wasn't that O'Barry?

Wasn't sure when it happened - yeah, it was.

Shame they couldn't just switch angles and let the others have their turn. (Honestly, I can't really begrudge an activist trying to be an activist in front of the largest audience he'll ever have.)

My god this pissed me off. Those fucking assholes cut off Psihoyos in what amounts to a purely punitive measure. The sign was already up and on its way down. This was a "fuck you" for breaking their stupid rules. Or else a Japanese conspiracy.

Now the Academy has shown that it can get almost as riled up about pro-dolphin activism as, to give two other examples, Michael Moore in 2003 and the old-line actors' (Bob Hope, John Wayne, Frank Sinatra) coughing up hairballs over the anti-Vietnam War doc HEARTS AND MINDS winning in the early 70s.
