...turns out, is too predictable. A joke about Julie Andrews declining a Tony nomination ended with Rosie claiming she'd turn down the Nobel Peace Prize. That's the sort of one-liner that people who have never even appeared on Star Search have been using around the water cooler for weeks (not to mention the fact that it was the conceit of a humor column in the New Yorker almost a month ago).

WITH ALL THE PRE-OSCAR handicapping at the office water cooler, you don't hear many hot arguments about who's going to get the Editing award. So next Monday night, when that category is announced--"And the nominees are: Apollo 13, Babe, Braveheart, Crimson Tide and Seven"--and the winner stumbles into the spotlight to thank his mom and the director, almost no one will notice...
