Roger Ebert’s “Answer Man” column this week tackles the burning post-Oscar question: Was Billy Crystal being gracious or rude with his onscreen comment about Bill Murray losing Best Actor? (Specifically, it was his “Don’t go Bill… We love you!” bit.) Ebert took it as a friendly joke, but a lot of other folks seemed to think it was mean-spirited and catty. As I didn’t actually watch the show myself, I have no idea what the context was. What did you guys think?

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
