Friday Five: The Oscars are coming, but so is Ira Glass.

I confess:

I have never watched the Oscars and this year will be no different. We are going to see Ira Glass: Radio Stories, at The Barclay Theatre in Irvine on Sunday instead.

I don't have anything against the Oscars, just struggle to find any interest in watching it, I guess. Between the two guys, Ira and Oscar, I would much rather spend the evening with Ira. Sorry little gold man...I think Ira would be a better listener, we girls LOVE that.

However, I did find these links that I thought were worthy of a look:

1) From the Soup: The Oscar Movie.

2) From McSweeney's Lists: Other Things There Will Be, In Addition To Blood.

3) Jack Black, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly singing at the Oscars: A Comedian At The Oscars.

4) The Los Angeles Times: The Envelope "Season of Upsets."

5) Test your Oscar knowledge with this: Quiz.

Maybe I will TiVo the show, just to see if I am missing anything--then I will of course, let you know what I think...like ALWAYS.
