Quote of the Night
Jon Stewart, after the stage goes wild when Three 6 Mafia shocks the Oscar crowd - and thrills presenter Queen Latifah - by winning Best Song for "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from the great Southern hip hop film Hustle & Flow:
"You know what? I think it just got a little easier in here for a pimp!"
Overall, I'm disappointed Brokeback Mountain didn't win more - I'm a huge Ang Lee fan - but I can't begrudge Crash. It's clumsy at times, but it's heartfelt and often edgy. And it showcases perhaps America's two greatest actors, Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle. I'm going to have to teach it sometime soon and see if the class can help me make more sense of it.
