Oscar Notes:

Congratulations to Martin Scorsese on getting his Best Director trophy at last. Too bad he got it for such a mediocre movie. Definitely a make-up call by the Academy voters.

Looking forward to seeing Oscar winners Helen Mirren (whose THE QUEEN fell to No. 15 this weekend in Korea, but might get a bump now) and Forrest Whittaker (whose LAST KING OF SCOTLAND opens here in a couple of weeks).

When is CHILDREN OF MEN coming to Korea? I really want to see it.

Thanks to C&M Communications, my cable company, for having the cable die right before the top awards were announced. Bah.
