Oscar Shirtlessness

In honor of the Academy Awards this Sunday, I present Jeremy Renner, nominated for Best Actor in "The Hurt Locker." There is something very Simon LeBon about Mr. Renner that I appreciate, although truth be told, I doubt he gets much sun. Anyway, although my heart does belong to George, I can't help but route for the underdog and secretly hope that Mr. Renner wins. I know that Jeff Bridges pretty much has a lock on the award, but if someone whose name was unrecognizable last year wins an Oscar, I would feel renewed in my endless search for employment as an actor. Just saying. I'm looking forward to the show on Sunday in spite of the fact that there will be no shirtlessness at all during the 4 hour telecast because, not unlike the Olympics, I will cry cathartic tears as I watch people's dreams come true. Sometimes, we all have to go to the weepy place.

In the meantime, I caught up on my Sunday night B&S which did not disappoint. The fact that Luc is back and shirtless and allowed to speak makes me very happy. And the preview of next week's episode that suggested that he was a French porn star in the past made me giggle like crazy. As the storylines become more ridiculous on that show, I applaud any that lead to Gilles Marini spending long stretches of time with no shirt on.

I am off to prepare my Oscar menu. I've seen 7 of the 10 films and plan to celebrate with homemade pizza. If there is no shirtlessness on Sunday night, well then, there will have to be good food! Until then, I am...

Yours in shirtlessness,
