Jon Stewart did fairly well at the Academy Awards -- as a host. He's no Billy Crystal, but then again thank goodness he's no Whoopee either.
My favorite part of the evening was when "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" won best song. Bravo. Hustle and Flow is still one of my favorite movies of the year.
I was glad to see Clooney win one tonight too. Best actress should have gone to Felicity Huffman or Theron. I like Reese Witherspoon, but she plays basically the same character in every movie. I did like her speech though.
Ah well. Tomorrow we'll get to thinking about things that really matter.
What was your favorite Oscar moment?

I LOVE jon stewart!!! Love, love, love. Anyway, I think it was nice to not see the same people on stage over and over again like on some past shows. While I also like the pimp song, I though Dolly Parton rocked the house. She was having fun and it showed. But has she always been that skinny? I could swear she used to fill out a tight skirt just as well as a tight top.
I just watched Walk The Line yesterday and then watched her win and wondered Why? Not that she wasn't good but I didn't think she was Oscar Worthy.
I need to see Hustle and Flow.
I watched Walk the Line last night and then turned on the awards, I love Reese and thought she did an excellent job! M loves that song It's Hard out here for a pimp, so he was excited they sang that last night!
The copy editor in me cannot resist...
It's "Whoopi" with an "i". ;)
And I'm just tweaked that that "March of the Penguins" won for best doc. Gag.
And while I'm being snarky, what was up with Charlize Theron's '60s-era beehive 'do and side-impact airbag dress?!?
I can't remember the name of the girl from Memoires (sp?) of a Geisha, but I liked her dress best.
hello birthday sister!
loved jon stewart!
agree about felicity- she was the best actress.
I love dolly...love hip hop too but, as hip hop goes, that was not a song i appreciate- not at all.
In George Clooneys speech, which was good, he seemed to be unaware that the film industry is more sexist that the senate..more backwards as 4% of the films made have female directors and 14% of the senate is female...who knew right?...maybe George will produce for a female director some day.
