I'm catching a little of the Academy Awards Red Carpet arrivals on KABC Channel 7 at the moment. I sometimes feel sorry for everyone who has to make small talk in these situations. The interviewers have to gush over the interviewees and the interviewees have to gush over everyone and everything. So far, the only thing I've heard that departs from that script is Steve Carrell saying it was an ordeal to spend time in a trailer with Greg Kinnear because of Kinnear's bad personal hygeine.
But I think I can see why a lot of folks across America think that people in Hollywood are different. Maybe it's just the DirecTV satellite feed but it looks like everyone in the movie business tonight is just a little bit out of sync. Out in the heartland when people talk, their lips match up with their voices.
