If you wondered how Bill Murray was doing after not getting the Oscar for Best Actor, well, the mystery is over. Murray appeared on Late Night with David Letterman...or, rather, he was discovered in a gutter by Late Night's camera crew. Gothamist didn't catch this bit, so thank you, Movie City News, for the .avi file of it. We like how Murray says the Oscars are a popularity contest and that Sean Penn won because he was a local.
The Late Show's website Big Show Highlight is also of Murray discussing Lost in Translation back in February; he also got a "Dave" tattoo during the show.

thanks guys, this goes a long way in healing the pain over Murray's loss.
Hmmm...isn't Letterman on vacation this week? Yes, that interview was from before the Oscars.
No the interview was post-oscars. It aired last week prior to dave's vacation
Bill was a sore loser - don't you think? Sean is so talented and deserved Mr. Oscar!
If he thinks its such a popularity contest (i.e., that it's not at all about talent), which may be true, why does he care that he didn't win? Inconsistencies, my dear Bill...
Bill Murray is JOKING, people! He's poking fun at being sad about not winning, about being a sore loser etc, because he's professonal enough to see the humor in the situation, even at his own expense.
And an ability to poke fun at yourself is always an indication that you're not full of yourself -- not a trait sore losers have, ya?
*catches the joke that went over MP's and Hilton's heads*
exactly what candleblue said.
Ditto Candle, Laura and Jack. If you didn't get what Murray was doing, you probably "really" like Adam Sandler films (and not Punchdrunk Love).
Murray is king. Natch.
Sean deserves to hang for treason.
Do I really have to write things like "Please watch video"/"Read related link" before commenting? Come on, people!
And the Oscars ARE a popularity contest. Everyone knows that. It's just that Sean and Bill, because of their notoriously prickly and anti-Hollywood stances, are sort of unpopular.
Bill Murray is a polarizing figure in the bloggosphere. Hey, didn't Al Pacino win an Oscar for "Scent of a Woman" (holds his nose)
Good stuff. I love Bill, but Sean Penn deserved the win this year. You all know about the Q&A with Bill at BAM on April 13th, yes?

Murray's post Oscar gutter dance was brilliant- I cannot wait to see him in Wes Anderson's - "the life Aquatic".
in every joke a little truth...
