The contrarian viewpoint:
1. Not only will geeks be outraged, this will add insult to injury as many believe “The Reader” stole “The Dark Knight”s Oscar thunder. Think of the delicious hours of comment reading one could be endlessly amused by.
2. Have you seen Kate Winslet lately? Anything for her to take the stage all dressed up.
3. Good lord, anything but ‘Benjamin Button.’
4. Watching Scott Rudin pop a gasket will be amusing.
5. We encourage the double standard of older women cradle robbing and getting away with it sans a trace of politically correct indignation.
6. Everyone loves to hate The Weinstein’s. What would we do without them?
