· Who knew Jean-Luc Godard's honorary Oscar would be filled with so much intrigue? The New York Times reports that articles in the Jewish press over the last month "have revived a simmering debate over whether Mr. Godard, an avowed anti-Zionist and advocate for Palestinian rights, is also anti-Jewish." For their part, the Academy will "sidestep" the issue while making their Godard clip reel by not including his more controversial work, like a much-discussed scene in Here and There which crosscuts Adolf Hitler and Golda Meir. It's also probably a good thing he's not even going to bother to accept the award. [NYT]

· After being highly critical of Jon Stewart's Rally for Sanity over the weekend, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has done the kneejerk thing and suspended his famous "Worst Person in the World" segment. "Its satire and whimsy have gradually gotten lost in some anger, so in the spirit of the thing, as of right now, I am unilaterally suspending that segment with an eye towards discontinuing it," said Olbermann. "We don't know how that works long-term. We might bring it back. We might bring back something similar to it. We might kill it outright." [THR/The Live Feed]
