The endless fasacination of awards minutia

I don't much care who wins the awards but I do enjoy the scrambling for anything resembling a worthwhile detail on the way there. The Envelope is ground zero for this stuff. Jon Stewart is a great choice as Oscar host. Oh, and I sent in my ballot for the Critic's Choice awards this evening, so I get a special kick out of seeing it edge closer and closer to the Golden Globes as the most credible pre-O indicator. Be sure to watch the show!
