Circus Maximus
Oh, go ahead and pretend you don’t care about the Oscars- you and the 800 million other people around the world who watched the broadcast Sunday. Even if you really don’t care, you watch because it’s nice to know so many people can share such a guilty pleasure. So for all you who watched (and the 126 who didn’t), we marshaled our Calendar forces to report on the night and offer a glimpse at the madness before, during and after the awards were handed out.
