It's probably been all over the internet already - *and* on a post-Oscars REPORT - but I only just found out last night while watching the replayTV'd COLBERT REPORT from March 3...
Hokey frickin smokes! Stephen Colbert picked the Oscar winners using his DaColbert Code! He didn't go thru all the Academy categories, but hit the biggies - best leads, best supporting, and best picture. Wack!
The DaColbert Code itself wasn't all THAT funny, but it was all basically a set-up to play off of his position on BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN from earlier in the show - that it can't be that good at all if all these important people - among them, the Prez and Colbert himself - haven't seen it! So, when he gets around to applying the code to choosing best picture, he can't make the DaColbert leap from "Space Mountain" to BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN... which of course leads to him choosing the correct winner - CRASH!
Pretty frickin incredible.
If I can find the bit somewhere, I'll post the link. [FOUND IT!]
Note: He also dedicated a good five minutes at the end of the show to mark the passing of D&D from the offline world of DMs and polyhedral dice in the wood-panel finished basement to the online world of no direct human contact whatsoever. =)
Keep on keepin on~
The best thing I ever heard:
"The social outcasts of today's junior high schools are relieved of the agony of any human contact."
--- Stephen Colbert, THE COLBERT REPORT, on the launch of Stormreach, the online version of D&D.

I enjoyed in "The Word" a few days ago, when the word in question was "scapegoat." It was all about the Enron folks not knowing how to take the blame stoically (sp?). The best margin word during this was, of course, "Turngoat." I've been trying to work it into conversation since seeing it...
