Myself, I was rooting for the rat


NEW YORK - The Oscars are a ratings dud. Nielsen Media Research says preliminary ratings for the 80th annual Academy Awards telecast are 14 percent lower than the least-watched ceremony ever.

After the rat won - it was early - everything was over for me. I hung in for another couple of segments but that was just to watch Cate Blanchett. Otherwise, so what? OK, Marion Cotillard was awesome in La Vie en Rose and I'm a big Coen brothers fan, but it wasn't worth sitting through everything else for that. I'm not a big Oscars fan even in good years, which usually turn out bad anyway. This year, Cate and the rat were enough.
