1. I was excited to see Richard Jenkins get a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for his work in The Visitor. His portrayal of a stuck-in-a-rut development economist who experiences a reawakening through a most unusual and heart-wrenching circumstance was truly one of the best (and least known) performances that I saw all year.
2. However, the Oscars really dropped the ball with some of the Best Picture nominations. The sentimental mess Benjamin Button over the hard-hitting Dark Knight and Gran Torino? Why do these guys get to decide?
3. What is the market value of virginity? See here.
4. The Yale Daily News has a great three-part series on George W. Bush. The first two parts have been pretty interesting so far, portraying the President as far more complex than either liberals or conservatives like to paint him.
