And now, children, I read to you from the book of “Woody Allen Ain’t Care,” volume three, verse 25, year 76.
Letty Aronson, producer of Midnight in Paris and Woody Allen‘s sister, said she hadn’t talked to the filmmaker but was “pretty sure” he knew he won for best original screenplay.
“He was saying that the NBA All-Star Game was on at the same time [as the Oscars] so he might have to turn the channel,” Aronson said. “But I bet [wife] Soon Yi told him he won.” [THR]
I’ve never considered Woody Allen to be what you might call a “man’s man” before this, but watching sports (and the NBA all-star game, no less, one of the most meaningless games in all of sports) while he was being awarded an Oscar seems like it qualifies. For the record, it was his fourth Oscar* and 23rd nomination. I don’t think I’ve even touched that many boobs.

You can bet nobody told him via text message.
He’s a huge fan of Lincest.
Jesus, did Lohan borrow Dujardin’s Bodhi wig?
Allen hasn’t cared for the Oscars since they started letting the help onto the stage.
Roman Polanski wouldn’t have tuned in to the Oscars either if he was nominated, those Toddlers & Tiaras episodes on his DVR aren’t going to watch themselves!
He was watching the game itching for a Jeremy Lin sighting. We all know Asians are the chick in Woody’s armour.
He’s an industrious
daughtermotherfucker and Jews don’t get Sundays off something something slant-drilling.I watched Midnight in Paris at the weekend. Woody was not exactly stretching himself. It was nice eye candy – Carla Bruni and the antique record chick – but had very few gags in it and no Albanian sex traffickers or demented, rampaging, obsessive fathers. No parkour either.
“No parkour either.”
And that’s the biggest crime of all.
Skipping the Oscars to watch basketball with your daughter/wife? We should start calling him Woody the Cable Guy.
Was he watching the game with Morgan Freeman?
Woody is getting meta as fuck. There’s a scene in Annie Hall where he bails on somebody’s party to watch a Knicks game in the bedroom, and his wife gives him shit. Also, he just went to a Knicks game (in real life) with Michael Murphy, his costar in Manhattan. We’ve reached his snow level.
Speaking of Morgan Freeman . . . what the F was up with the one glove? Is he the new Headmaster of Hogwarts now?
Soonyi vadger don’t care. Soonyi vadger don’t give a shit.
