The Oscars are something I gave up watching 20 years ago, but they do provoke some good lines from committed observers. The Toronto Globe and Mail’s Don Irvine offered odds on certain things happening in yesterday’s edition, such as who would have the most embarrassing moment or most long-winded speech, and so on. He ended with this:

“Odds that Xenu will arise through a volcano in the Kodak Theatre parking lot, spirit Tom Cruise and John Travolta away in a DC-8-shaped rocket ship, and bring history as we know it to an end: 14-1.”

I think that deserves its own award.
