OSCARS: The real winners
25th Mar 2002

OSCARS: The return of designer stubble and other stuff
25th Mar 2002

OSCARS: Blood on the (red) carpet
25th Mar 2002
At four hours and fifteen minutes, last night’s Oscar ceremony was the longest in the history of the awards. But, hey, it was almost worth it. The most disappointing part was the pre-ceremony garbage as the stars turned up and trawled down the red (burgundy if you ask us) carpet. We cracked open a few beers, kicked back, watched and made some notes. More questions were raised than were answered, but there you go. <Read it all>
