...long long time from January to March. Preferences and prejudices can change over the next few weeks. Academy members could conceivably be anesthetized by the roll call of Brokeback victories. But our guess is that Brokeback will proceed, at a pace as measured as the movie itself, toward the happy ending the film denied its main characters. If the consensus holds, the one challenge left will be for the film's makers, who already have given more than a dozen acceptance speeches, to find new phrases of gratitude on March 5... and to feign surprise when their names are called...
...official has been detained in connection with the Dongzhou killings. A month after the shootings, police continue to arrest villagers and block outsiders from entering Dongzhou to investigate whether the official body count of three is too low, as villagers claim.

As soon as Kanye starts requesting pre-nups, a pack of males, like Pavlovian predators, begin to peruse the room and claw at the nearest female. They then proceed to literally bruise pelvises with a sometimes circular, more often directionless, hip-knocking motion. And if you’re the taller of the pair—at 5’ 10’’ wearing heels, I almost always am—not only are you left...
