CTV for the win.

The full CTV interview by Tom Walters was even more eviscerating of Ford. Basically painted Ford as a reject who would never be granted admission to an event like the Oscars. It also emphasized Ford spent the day wandering aimlessly along a half empty Hollywood boulevard. A very different portrait of Ford's trip to LA than the one we might get from twitter updates and instagram shots.

I was shocked at the snide tone of a CTV news piece, of all things! I laughed hard.

Have a link? Can't find it online, only the short clip. CTV's usually pretty good about putting all of their content online, although perhaps not in the timeliest fashion, and not always in the most obvious locations...

What makes me laugh even harder then the tone in the interview, is that Ford's twitter account took a picture of that interview and tweeted it as Ford promoting Toronto.

There was a tweet about Grima Wormtongue having put up a story claiming Ford had attended Oscar parties with Kimmel, except it was posted by the Sun at 9pm. No screencap though. Did said story come to anyone's notice here?

In fact, he arranged for them to watch the Oscars in his studio just steps from the Academy Awards Sunday and then took them to several after-show parties.

Ford just had a ten-second walk on to the jimmy kimmel post-oscar show. Face glow was only 4/10 so he still has a long night ahead.

As an aside, the oscar for best supporting fabric goes to Ford's cummerbund.
 
Kevin Spacey made a joke about Ford throwing up all over the dressing room, and the actual ford bit was that he can't follow a schedule. Yup, they're laughing with him alright......
