Q: What's the closest race?
A: Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington are neck and neck in the race for Best Actor. In Denzel's favor is the feeling inside the industry that he is a great actor whose time has come. In Russell's favor is the feeling inside the industry that it's a really bad idea to piss him off.
Some worry that epic films such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "Moulin Rouge" lose their impact when viewed on a small screen; on the contrary, when viewed at home, "The Lord of the Rings" is just as geeky and "Moulin Rouge" is just as gay.
Q: Will the Oscar ceremony be safe from terrorism?
A: I certainly hope not.
