Excuse me for a) not watching the big Academy Awards whoopdedoo on Sunday night, where "Spotlight" -- a movie about remarkable work by investigative journalists at an East Coast metro newspaper not unlike my own -- grabbed the Oscar for best picture and for b) the fact that I haven't even watched "Spotlight" yet, even though I've seen a half-dozen or so other new releases since it came out.
As for not watching the Oscars, it was mostly because I was way too busy as Sunday night editor of the Daily News -- performing the more quotidian rituals that result in a newspaper every morning, like making sure the Daily News Pet of the Week (Eevee, an adorable Chihuahia mix up for adoption!) gets to the right place. As for not racing out to see "Spotlight," a film that celebrates my profession at its best....I don't know. I'm sure I'll get to it.
