...Academy tries to balance old and young in its guest list of presenters. This year it discarded its recent truckling tradition of having TV-show teens hand out awards; the youngest folks on stage were either new stars (Julia Stiles, 19), nominees (Kate Hudson, 21), recent winners (Angelina Jolie, 25) or 15-year movie veterans (Winona Ryder, still luminous at a grizzled 29). Goldie Hawn, a perky 55, could have taken poise lessons from her daughter Kate; while botching a TelePrompter speech she devolved into her "Laugh-In" ditz of aeons past.

It also turned out that I had been invited to judge the preliminaries, which meant that instead of sitting with Karen Duffy, Daniel Baldwin and Ernie (the black Ghostbuster) Hudson at Friday's live telecast of the finals, I spent three days early in the week with Joel from Survivor, an executive from the CBS soap-opera division and Eddie and JoBo, Chicago's Bumpin' B96 morning team, whittling the contestants down to 10 semifinalists...
