At the Oscars tonight, John Travolta presented an award after a rousing performance by Jennifer Hudson of Dreamgirls. He said that he loved watching performances of zaftig ladies strutting their stuff. Then he said, “but enough about me.” The camera zoomed into Melissa Etheridge’s face, her jaw agape. She was probably thinking, did John Travolta just come out on the Academy Awards in front of 50 million people?

Did he?
