"We get it. It was grim. Move on."

My first thought when Kate Winslet won for the Oscar for playing a former S.S. guard during the Holocaust? 

The first episode of Extras, Ricky Gervais' deeply dry and hilarious star parade. Particularly the 3:21 mark. 



Sometimes, Irony tastes like a bitter pill, swallowed dry without any water. 

Other days--like this one--it's a chocolate candy with a surpise creamy center! YAY IRONY!

Me too! Although Ricky Gervais did forwarn me at the Globes, when he told her the same thing after the won there. Pissed myself.
