WFW Oscar Pool '06

WFW OSCAR POOL
At the last minute, I thought, "Why not do an Oscar Pool for the ol' blog?", and posted a topic on CAGN's Social about it. Boardies Stardrifter and John Constantine submitted their predictions on the topic, and not many others did, leaving us with a cage match tastic three v. three, bitch.

John Stewart did a great job, even though a lot of the crowd didn't really seem to be laughing with him, like with Chris Rock last year. Like on the Daily Show, Stewart's best was when he went off script. Heres a compilation someone made of his best material:



The overall awards show was pretty average as always, since there were a lot of mess ups, but was okay since they make the show better anyways. My favorites included Lauren Bacall's, who seemed to be high, line stumbling, and Jennifer Garner's trip, which would have made the show ten times as entertaining if she had actually fell.
