I just saw a scene that made me think the Apocalypse might be coming sooner than we think.

Was it footage from Iraq? No.

Was it news of the pending nuclear crisis with Iran? No.

Was it (insert crisis situation looming in the world today here)? No.

It was Ellen DeGeneres leading a choir (on Sunday night of all nights) in a hallelujah chorus praising this year’s Oscar-nominated actors and actresses.

If that doesn’t signal the end of the world, I’m not sure what else does.
