Oscar Blog, 6

As expected, Philip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor, and also as expected he wasted his time on the stage. I don't get it: he's a great actor, who knows lots of great writers (Paul Thomas Anderson and Anthony Minghella, to name a few) yet made lame acceptance speeches at the Globes, SAGs, and even yesterday's Independent Spirit Awards. Why didn't someone who cared about him sit the man down and get him to think about what he would say when (not if) he won the Oscar?
