Maybe they ought to change the dates--the 2010 eligibles are released before ...October 15 or something. So the ones that are in slower release get to places which are not New York and LA sometime before the ceremony. Or change what "released" means. Or something. Because yeah, I *can* see Slumdog Millionaire or Milk--I think--at the local arty place, but its hours are weird, and I don't think Revolutionary Road has been here yet--and my town is not exactly the height of urban, but it does have an arty place and a couple of big multiplexes and stuff. BAH.
Also, I sort of want them to not script the presenters' banter because it is usually lame. Maybe they could just bring up comedians who are inclined toward ad-lib, pair them with hapless straight wo/men, and let them riff on whatever they want for a couple of minutes, then present a handful of awards. You know, Robin Williams and like, Miley Cyrus or something. Though that would probably pull some of the attention away from the award-getters. But, it would be more fun to watch.
