The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Our big Oscar betting pool loss
Jim, Dona, Ty, Stan, Betty, Rebecca, Ann, Cedric and Kat had an Oscar betting pool.
It cost $5 to buy in and you entered your choices in secret.
One of us -- at least one of us -- won on each category . . . except for Best Original Song.
We all lost.
And it turned out, we all thought the same song would win: Sufjan Stevens' "Mystery of Love."
We still think it should have won.
