I was watching Barbara Walters' special show on the Oscars two days ago and was thinking to myself: "This is the worst show I have ever seen! Why is it being broadcast?”

A friend told me that she was to the celebrity interview what Annie Leibovitz was to celebrity photojournalism: the Queen. And actually, when I checked her resume, I believed him. It appears that she has interviewed every single political figure and celebrity in the world! Anwar Sadat, Indira Gandhi, Vaclav Havel, Shah of Iran, Jiang Zemin, Hussein of Jordan, Fidel Castro... These are just a few examples of political figures, and if you include all the movie stars the list is endless.

But when I watched the "Oscar special show" last Wednesday, featuring interviews with Patrick Dempsey and Mariah Carey, I was really disappointed. None of them are even nominees! And the interviews were so boring and politically correct that I felt like I was at my grandmother's house.

Eventually, George Clooney’s interview arrived. He had red eyes and was containing his laugh. He thanked Walters because ten years ago, he told her that he would never get married again. Apparently it was useful.

"To this day, everywhere I go, they'll go, 'He's never gonna get married again.' "Because of you, I don't have to (discuss marriage). It's out there. You've done all of the work for me and I thank you for that."

A little later, Walters asked him (about the success of Brokeback Mountain) if he would like to play a gay role, he said very seriously that he already did.

"Think about it," he explains. "I was in a rubber suit. I had rubber nipples. I could have played him straight but I didn't. I made him gay."

I can't think that he wasn't making fun of her. At one time she must have been great but now she is just somniferous.
