It's been two days since the Academy Awards and I have to wonder if now the media will stop referring to Kathryn Bigelow as "the ex-wife of James Cameron".
There must be some kind of statute of limitations on that sort of thing. After you've been divorced for more that 20 (?) years and your ex-husband has re-married twice, one would think that it's now in the rear view mirror, passe compose, so long ago that children born at the time now have children of their own.
She just won the Academy Award for Best Director. Give the woman some respect.
Oh, and the Academy orchestra playing Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman" as Bigelow left the stage with the Best Director Oscar in her hands? -- well that was just pitiful.
It reminded me of the bit on The Larry Sanders Show where Warren Zevon begged not to be asked to play "Werewolves of London" because the song was behind him and he had other music he wanted to showcase.
And then, while taping, he of course was asked to play "Werewolves of London".
Because Artie would protect Larry, and Larry wasn't very smart. Larry would go for the easy, obvious stuff. And the same can be said of the man behind the scenes who chose the songs for the Academy orchestra.
