My Oscar Stuff
- Awesome set.
- Jon Stewart was good -- not great, but good.
- LOVED the "gay cowboy" clips!
- "Campaign ads" were hilarious.
- Ben Stiller in green unitard? Priceless!
- Reese Witherspoon? For "Election" maybe. Felicity Huffman was robbed.
- "Crash"? Are you serious?
- Kudos to Philip Seymour Hoffman honoring his mom.
- Make-up gag with Steve Carell & Will Ferrell was too funny!
- George Clooney -- so damned handsome. Great speech. He's bringing a social conscience back to his little corner of Hollywood.
- Montage this! Sheesh! If this years' show was intended to demonstrate the greatness of film shown in its original glory of theatrical release (rather than a personal DVD player, a Blackberry, or cell phone), it failed. But it probably convinced viewers how boring those fucking montages can be!
- Best dresses: Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Uma Thurman.
- Second Oscar for Costumer Colleen Atwood! Woo Hoo! She's just a girl from Quincy, Washington for God's sake! How cool is that?
- What's the whole Jessica Alba thing about?
- My beloved compared the Academy's recognition of "It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp" to them finally honoring rock 'n' roll in the early 1980s. Ooooh... cutting edge.
- Where the hell were Don Knotts and Darren McGavin in the "In Memorian" roll call?
- Sharon Stone is on her way to becoming the Sally Kirkland of her generation

Charlize Theron could make a gunny sack look good!
I had higher expectations for Stewart , but he did OK.
I liked the mud-slinging comic ads for Oscar consideration, like accusing Ms. Theron of 'hagging it up' for personal gain.
"Hagging it up" -- that was funny. So was the Dames for Truth ("Judy Dench cost me my left eye!")
Didn't your friend at The Seattle Times do a story pointing out that a lot of cowboy movies had gay themes? Is he moonlighting for Jon Stewart?
