Ted Zee’s post about the low Oscar ratings is cracking me up!
“At this rate, we’re not going to know what the stars wore on the red carpet, because they’re going to roll that carpet up and scuttle the Academy Awards for good. It ain’t right.

I saw Tony Kaye’s Lake of Fire at SILVERDOCS this year. The film had actually premiered at Toronto 2006 and I was surprised that it hadn’t had a better festival run (between September and June), as there were sporadic comments from those who attended Toronto that it was a must-see.
