And the Oscar for best soundbite in an acceptance speech goes to--(who else?) Tom Stoppard! "Don't clap; they'll play the music." I watched the whole show to see Stoppard fulfill my fantasy that brilliant writers are witty in real life, and to see The Thin Red Line win Best Cinematography. Well, one out of two isn't bad. It's half, actually. Cheers. Brendan _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/
