...Oscar. In 70 years of deciding the merits and failings of film, the Academy Awards have been glorified and vilified, denounced as narrow-minded political dealings between Hollywood muckety-mucks and praised as clearly focused ideals of what is and isn't great about film-making...
...ANGELES: Hollywood loves a happy ending, even one you could have predicted three hours before it happened. And for James Cameron, Monday night was certainly a fairytale finale. His $200 million epic, "Titanic," an unstoppable juggernaut with a billion-dollar gross, won best picture, best director and nine other Academy Awards.

Not that Zawinski cared about money. Though Silicon Valley is supposed to be the new Hollywood for programmers, where ambitious code-writing kids slave at start-ups with every expectation of retiring by supper, Zawinski is a hacker of the old school. He has always aspired to something grander: to change the world. At the top of his resume, he'd carefully spelled it out: "employment...
