I’m really late to this party.
Nothing I say that hasn’t been said elsewhere, likely. Billy Crystal was lame. The awards were predictable (20 of 24 correct in defunct Matt’s Oscar pool). A few good moments in an otherwise pretty unforgettable evening.
The highlight for me, though, was when my wife said: “Johnny Depp reminds me of you”. That is a direct quote. I’ll not bore you with the specific context of the comment.

Johnny Depp?
I get the fictional character George Costanza (sp?) Jason Alexander? ‘with hair’ comparison from the love of my life…

Yeah, Johnny Depp.
However, truth be told, it might be more accurate to say my physical appearance more closely resembles Phillip Seymour Hoffman than it does Johnny Depp.
Yet, she did say “Johnny Depp reminds me of you”.

Lucky bastard. I get “You know, if I squint my eyes and look at Danny De Vito …”

Since last year complete strangers have been coming up to me just to say I look like Ryan off the first ‘Bachelor’.

“Johnny Depp reminds me of you.”
“Really? How?”
“Because he has as much chance of winning an Oscar tonight as you.”

You have no idea how much that stung, Matt.

Ah, Rob. Just smile and point to the scoreboard. The best revenge. Unless you’re playing the Canucks.
