And the Oscar goes to...

This years Oscar's are already shaping up to be better then last years. First off Jon Stewart (host of The Daily Show) is going to be hosting the award ceremony this year. Also Director Robert Altman is being given an Honorary Award. Altman who has directed such films as Gosford Park, The Company, and Dr T and the Women, is being honored for having, "a career that has repeatedly reinvented the art form and inspired filmmakers and audiences alike."
As a sidenote, Gosford Park is one of my favorite movies. The cast was phenomenal and the story was so intriguing. Altman is a wonderful director and certainly deserves the award. I'm sure that there will be more Academy news as the ceremony approaches.
