Just beyond the Santa Ana Artist Village Art Walk, still in earshot of a crooning street performer’s acoustic rendition of Bobby Freeman’s “Do You Wanna Dance” and right behind a sign that proudly declares the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art admission-free, the OCCCA held a reception this past Saturday for “Wide Angle View,” an exhibit on photojournalism.

RENEWAL: The remaining members of Oasis, now Beady Eye, do solid work with their debut album.

DEPP: “Rango” tells the tale of a chameleon stranded in Nevada trying to save a ghost town from collapsing.

PLAN: Philip K. Dick’s adaptation suffers narratively but scrapes by thanks to its leading stars and love story.

UNIQUE: The relatively unknown Chicago-based band’s fourth album offers some pretty good listens.

So, the Oscars happened. Just like every other year in Academy history, the broadcast had its fair share of notable moments, good and bad. Here are our best and worst moments of the 83rd Academy Awards.

HIDEOUS: This “Beauty and the Beast” adaptation fails to honor the original classic.

ROLLING: Adele turns “21” on her new soulful album, on a darker, gospel-inspired path.

RAUNCH: “Hall Pass” brings to life an ultimate male fantasy, but the laughs are far from consistent.

LIMB: Although incomplete, Radiohead’s new album sweeps listeners into the musical cosmos.

BANG: The latest game in the “Contra” series proves to be an exhilarating run-and-gun 2-D shooter.

VROOM: Nicolas Cage surprisingly and unfortunately doesn’t let himself go in this 3-D revenge flick.
