		<title>82nd Academy Awards: Random Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In no particular order:

Pomp, circumstance and fashion are lost on me. I&#8217;m just here for the movies, dammit! Ebert derisively put it best in his live twitter:

&#8220;They pose the actresses in their gowns, ask them to pose, and let the camera lick them from toe to head.&#8221;
