The straight scoop
In case you missed this morning's Oscar announcement, here's Variety's wrap up.
This year's selections didn't rankle me as they have in the past. I still feel a twinge in my side whenever I remember "Million Dollar Baby" won Best Picture in 2004.
That said, the Oscars remain a far better barometer of excellence than their trophy cousins, the Emmys and the Grammys.
My anti-Grammy argument begins and ends here: total number of Grammys for The Who - Zero. Grammys for The Rolling Stones pre-1994 - Zero.

Don't forget the Eagles' underreprensentation at the Grammys, as well!
No, that part I like!
Once! Yay!
This year, I'll actually look forward to the "Best Song" part of the Oscar ceremony for a change thanks to "Once."
Here's to The Who! Long live Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
