I don't give a shit about the Oscars.
Never have, never will.
I take the tact that Alvy Singer, the Woody Allen character in Annie Hall, takes about these kinds of shows:
What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler.
Indeed, it seems there is an awful lot of that in this self-congratulatory, award-ridden culture these days.
That said, when I heard the story that some arrogant priss-pot from Bravo savaged the PS 22 chorus on MSNBC's Morning Joe for their Oscar performance, I have to tell you, it made me want do two things:
One - it made me WANT to watch their performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow at the end of the Oscar Show.
And second - it made me want to head over to wherever Bravo is, invite Mr. Cohen outside onto the street for a frank discussion of HIS performance on Morning Joe and KICK HIS FUCKING ASS.
I did watch some You Tube videos of the PS 22 Chorus and enjoyed them very much.
As for having the frank discussion with Mr. Cohen, I spent some time meditating through that anger and have let it go.
Nonetheless, I will say this to Mr. Cohen:
Given the absolute DRIVEL you show on your "network," you REALLY ought to REFRAIN from making fun of ANYBODY for anything they do on TV.
Seriously.
I 100% agree. I put up some wonderful videos of PS 22's songs on my blog. They were fantastic.

Thanks, Tom. I saw that earlier. That was great! It's good to see a "celebrity" back teaching and public education as something other than the corporate test prep factory that Baldwin, Arianna, Oprah, et al. want it to be.
