os-car or os-walk?

what a boring, predictable and pc show!
the brits i'm sure are happy because they are always happy when their big brother from hollywood pays them some attention. it makes them feel that they are somebody. a mediocre role in a mediocre film won ms mirren an oscar, and to dedicate it to the queen is just tacky. there are so many queens in england, she did not even specify. but then, the dame did get famous for her tits not her talent or her intellect. (well, i can somehow relate to that...)
you are probably not surprised: there is no mention in the english media of the german oscar for das leben der anderen. i'm really chuffed that a film about ossis is honoured as it should be, and i'm impressed by the ambitious director.
digressing slighly: does al gore have shares in hybrid cars? or the german minister of environment shares in energy-saving light bulbs? why else would we see this blatent product-placement in politics and entertainment? why not walk or cycle to the next award show? and the os-walk goes to...
