Op-ed: Seth MacFarlane Isn't the Problem

Finally, someone smart enough to get it. (YES, I said smart enough.) Victoria Brownwoth writes that the host wasn't being a chauvinist on Oscar night. He was calling out Hollywood's long-ingrained chauvinism. Bravo, Victoria. Read HERE.

Seth's a Winner, but Oscar Stinks

My review of the 2013 Oscars: Seth MacFarlane Fan Club President Seth MacFarlane was hilarious. The celebrities and their tone-deaf speeches -- no, you didn't just discover a cure for cancer -- were insufferable, and who remembers "Chicago" as being a classic???.The nominees weren't so hot to begin with -- I thought 2012 was a particularly weak film year -- but the winners left me even more cold. Christoph Waltz?? Anne Hathaway?? Quentin Tarantino?? Ang Lee? (For "Brokeback Mountain"? Yes. For "The Life of Pi"? No.) Just pathetic. (And did John Travolta suffer a traumatic brain injury? It was like he was pronouncing every word for the first time.) Wanted Bradley Cooper to win, but at least Daniel Day Lewis was hilarious. The ONLY good things were when Jennifer Lawrence won -- which she TOTALLY deserved -- and "Argo," of course. And if you don't agree with me that Seth was smart and funny, did you get a load of his closing song, "The Losers"?!!!!

UPDATE: Sounds like Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times saw the same broadcast I did. Read HERE.
