See? We are all getting along!

Enough with the jeremiads. So Brokeback Mountain didn't win. I did -- at a friend's Oscar party...a $25 Macy's gift card!

Since the victory of Crash augurs a new era of understanding, it's only fitting that I post this evidence that the age of Aquarius is well nigh. Clockwise at the Kodak Theatre bar we have: Best Supporting Actor nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Best Actor winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Best Actor nominee Heath Ledger, Best Actor nominee Joaquin Phoenix (back to camera), and Best Supporting Actor winner/King of Hollywood George Clooney. One can only hope Clooney got the round of Jaeger shots.
