"Let's be honest here, just for a moment. We're all going to be honest, right?" Bullock asked the crowd. "Did I win this for being entertainer of the year, or did I win this because of the spectacular I.E.D. explosion that became my personal life?"

....Bullock also made a seriously classy move in acknowledging ... the intense demands of being a member of the U.S. military. "I would do it over again if it was to entertain our troops," Bullock said, "and our extraordinary troops deserve something much more than some actress in a tight dress talking about herself."

Seems to me we've already seen three award shows with last year's movies, I'm not sure why there's another one.

Much better fare tonight: A new episode of Breaking Bad and the new season premiere of Food Network Challenge.

I'm still not following much news except for Joran Van der Sloot, which I find fascinating, between the media and public presumption of guilt, the as-yet unclear details of the FBI sting in Aruba/Alabama and the fact it's taking place in Peru, known for it's atrocious prison conditions. One benefit: I've read more Spanish in the last two days than I have in ten years. Maybe I won't need that iPad Spanish App I was looking for after all.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
