Oscar? You there?

I have not been watching the Oscars. 

Our ancient television is in the den and my home office is on the other side of the house in a TV-free zone. My wife has been working on paperwork at her desk in the den and provides periodic and cynical updates ("They're talking about wage inequality") and I'm never sure if it's a joke or an accurate report. Of course, the two may not be mutually exclusive.

The only Best Picture nominee I've seen is The Grand Budapest Hotel which I liked because of an irrational bias for any movie where a character wears a Lobby Boy hat but I don't think of it as Best Picture material. [Its stock just went up.]

The last film I've seen? The DVD for The Accountant. Now that is one strange movie. Short and bizarre. 

I may give it to my accountant along with a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. 

If you've seen that film, you'll understand.
