Academy president Sid Ganis races through a presentation explaining the goals and history of the organization in one minute flat, thanks to the miracle of speeded-up speech compression. How many jokes about uppers are being made in Hollywood at this moment? Michael Arndt collects the best original screenplay trophy for “Little Miss Sunshine.” He tells us that when he was a kid his family took a road trip to California just like the one in the film. This is a surprise to me. I thought it was just a loose rewrite of “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”
