...Oscar nights of old, the big stars would thank "all the little people" who helped them win their Oscar. This year many of the big stars--Brad Pitt in Babel, Jack Nicholson in The Departed, Johnny Depp in the second Pirates of the Caribbean--are already out of the running, while little-known Japanese and Mexican actresses and a 10-year-old will have their names called as nominees. Another anomaly: Dreamgirls, which snagged the most nominations (eight), was shut out of Best Picture and Director. That leaves two old thoroughbreds, Clint and Marty, to fight it out against...

...since I got here.” Trailing by six points following an emphatic dunk by Dartmouth guard Alex Barnett, Harvard found itself in a precarious situation. Sophomore point guard Drew Housman set an example for Lin, righting Harvard’s ship by penetrating and dishing to forward Brad Unger to snap a seven point Big Green run. Possibly inspired, possibly emboldened, Lin immediately took charge. After collecting the next rebound, Lin took the rock coast to coast, drove hard to the basket through heavy traffic, drew the foul, and still maintained enough composure to lay in a floater...
