Glad that they gave Marketa Irglova time to say her piece.
If you missed it, the winner for Best Song, along with Glen Hansard from the film “Once,” was music-overed when she got to the mike.
If you cut down just a little on the retrospectives, people, everyone would have a enough time to thank people.

Old Navy, of course.
So much fashion, so little time.
My thoughts:
Jennifer Garner looked amazing in her strapless black dress. But what was up with her hair? I wanted to reach through the television and offer her a bobby pin. I mean really, aren’t there some hair and makeup people backstage?
Ambivalent about Anne Hathaway’s dress. Like the color, like the roses, not digging the shoulder drape. This is why less is more.
Love Katherine Heigl’s dress. Red, off … continued »

Gee, so glad they found a way to use those interviews and retrospectives show producers did in case the strike was still happening.
I was mildly interested, until the fourth one. Thank God the writer’s strike is over and it wasn’t four hours of this.
As I was about to post, I saw the “binocular/periscope” retrospective, followed by the nightmare retrospective.
It’s like they’re reading my mind.

I love Jon Stewart. I am totally devoted to “The Daily Show.”
I still think he’s better behind the desk, than behind a podium.
Still, I don’t think he’s doing badly — though I can’t believe he opened with the “makeup sex joke.” That was barely funny.
The thing I like about Stewart is his irreverence — like his jab at the Vanity Fair party (canceled to support the writers. Stewart quipped “Maybe they could have invited writers … continued »

I have a story in today’s Eagle-Tribune about CBS’ plan to show “Dexter” tonight.
For those who don’t know, this series comes from its sister network Showtime. It’s about a Miami police forensics specialist, who is also a serial killer.
The twist: Dexter only kills really bad criminals. And the first season covers how Dexter became a killer — delving into trauma from his childhood.
On CBS, the show will air with … continued »

A deal is in the works.
What does this mean for television?
Well, writers will be back to work this week, some series could return as early as March, though more likely April.
It’s unlikely scripted shows will run long into the summer, but there could be as many as eight new episodes created and aired before they break for the season.
Thank God.

My editor Tracey said:
What did you think of the Foo Fighters with a full string orchestra? Neat, I think, but not exactly soothing.
Unfortunately, I missed this. I was flipping back and forth — the Grammys couldn’t hold my attention. I did catch Amy Winehouse — loved the music, little weirded out by the performance.

If you saw the episode last night, you found out who the “rescuers” are. Yet their purpose and occupations make little sense.
A “ghostbuster,” a physicist, a pilot and an anthropologist come to the island. But they didn’t come looking for survivors of the plane crash, Oceanic flight 815.
They came looking for the villain, Ben Linus. What does he have to do with all this?
This one may keep me up at night.
Finding out what the Merrimack Valley does for fun has been a mission of Rosemary Ford's since she became a full-time Arts and Entertainment reporter at The Eagle-Tribune in 1998. (more)
