That was the dullest Academy Awards ever, right? But there were some highlights for me, not least that Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall won the Film Editing Oscar for their work on The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo–work that they were kind enough to dissect for me (and the readers of The New York Times). Also, although Melissa McCarthy didn’t win for Best Supporting Actress, she looked genuinely joyful to see her fellow Groundlings heading up to the stage to receive the Adapted Screenplay award for The Descendants (just before Jim Rash stole the show with his impromptu mimickry of Angelina Jolie’s posture). Rock on!
