On Sunday we settled in for Oscar Night, which is something of a holiday at our house. The broadcast had its moments but was one of the most tedious I can remember: I would have slashed the homage to horror movies, the dance number before the best score award and the memorial for John Hughes, not to mention the cringe-inducing testimonials before the actor/actress awards. That would have saved 40 minutes at least! But I was excited to see Kathryn Bigelow with her big win as the first female director, for "The Hurt Locker." She deserved it for her intense, gut-wrenching masterpiece.We feasted on shrimp cocktail, sushi and crème caramel, and the Champagne was one of my old favorites, Piper-Heidsieck ($38). Too bad the bubbly ran out long before the show was over.
