Oscars story No. 347 of the day…

Are you a real hard-working business person with no spare time on your hands? Always having to deal with incoming faxes and your beeper going off every 45 minutes? A real nightmare, we know.

Fear not though, because boy do we have just the highlights Oscars package for you. Forget about watching the entire 19 hour ceremony – ain’t nobody got no time for that – instead, check out this very handy look back at the 86th Academy Awards in just under two minutes, perfect for the movie fan on the move.

Still all quiet on the beeper front? Then why not take advantage of these extra few minutes and watch host Ellen DeGeneres’ zing-tastic opening monologue.

And finally, it’s JOE’s favourite acceptance speech from the night.

Although we were rooting for Chiwetel Ejiofor in the Best Actor category, we certainly have a soft spot for Dallas Buyers Club and Dazed And Confused star, Matthew McConaughey, a classy man who made a brilliantly articulate and inspiring speech in which he thanked the Academy, his family and, ahmm, himself.

Alright, alright, alright…
