Anyone care about the Oscars?

I was on the computer while my wife watched the awards in another room. I heard the theme to Star Trek Next Generation playing loudly for a few seconds, so I got up to see what was going on. I expected to see Patrick Stewart giving away an award or something. But they were just cutting to a commercial break. Had nothing to do with Star Trek. I returned to whatever geeky thing I was doing on the computer. (Oh yeah, now I remember, I was writing a long e-mail with pictures about the science fair entry my kindergartener just did. Geeky for sure.)
