So let's take a skank break and shed a li'l light on someone actually deserving of recognition, how 'bout it?
Tonight in Santa Barbara at the Biltmore, the divine and debonair Ed Harris will be honored with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film, right on the cusp of his second directing effort, Appaloosa, in which he also starred. Talk about a Renaissance man, the dude does it all. And quite well, might we add. Ted always thought E.H. shoulda won the Oscar for Pollack, whereas I've always been a fan of his Christof in The Truman Show (tho it's no wonder he was overshadowed by a serious Jim Carrey). This is definitely an improvement over last year's recipient, John Travolta, doncha think? Or did Wild Hogs become a modern day classic without anyone telling us?
Congrats, Eddie, we love everything you've dished out so far in your career, keep it up. It'll be back to bitching about silly H'wood starlets shortly, we promise.
