Cheers to Jon Stewart for rallying with a stellar performance at the
Oscars. Despite his abbreviated post-strike prep time, the
Daily Show wiseguy struck the perfect balance between political barbs ("Oscar is 80 this year, which automatically makes him the front-runner for the Republican nomination") and pop-cultural zingers (
No Country for Old Men winner Javier Bardem "brilliantly combined Hannibal Lecter's murderousness with Dorothy Hamill's wedge cut"). Stewart's masterful work marked a sharp improvement over his hesitant hosting debut two years ago. The Academy was wise to reelect him.
