In the news: Borat no make present Oscar

Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen says no to presenting at the Oscars; apparently reading Bruce Vilanch's jokes off the teleprompter isn't his kind of comedy.

Ellen DeGeneres on hosting the Oscars: "I've been hoping they would ask me for probably six years now." Academy President Sid Ganis on Ellen: "Her wit cuts to the truth of things, but in a wonderfully warm-spirited way." (Translation: She's not like that mean ol' Jon Stewart.)

The Washington Post asks: How do you judge "best picture," anyway? And their film critics reveal who they think should win -- but not who they think will win.)

Also: The Last King of Scotland premieres in Uganda.
