arts 8c entertainment 'iS K ' it's time for the annual Oscar Derby, the most boring yet highly-rated four w s i hours on television you hate to watch, but do ’cause during the Best Live Action Short Subject you can go to the bathroom, the market, or just do homework; the folks in the real audience, more than half of whom are relatives of people who have already lost their category early in the show, have to sweat it out in black tie. And you wonder why Cher wears so little. This is Hollywood’s peer vote, where the “fellow members” of the academy (industry) let you know in no uncertain terms who is the most popular by virtue of performance and personality. Who can forget Sally Field gushing, “You really like me!” as the audience melted with pride. Nothing like sympathizing with mob rule to gain respect. Still, we watch, we cheer, we scream injustice and we emerge too exhausted from boredom to get back to our bio homework.

The TACKLING A CLASSIC What do you do with a bunch of award-winning young singers, most of whom either currently attend U CSB or did at one time?
