An Oscar Haiku

I was surprised but not crushed when I realized Sunday morning that ABC had indeed "gone dark". Gone dark - sounds like it was some rogue mission to the save the world when in fact it was just two greedy companies who were having a spat in the sand box. I didn't realize that channel 7 came back 15 minutes after the Oscars started until well after 10:30pm, which is when I started watching them. And it still took 45 minutes before they announced any winners that I remotely cared about. I have to admit, I was more interested in seeing Avatar lose than finding out who won. And since I put almost every acceptance speech on mute, ignored the 20 minute presentations for announcing any winner of any category, I thought it best to be brief, an approach the Oscars will never attempt.

My 17-syllable summary of the Oscars.
