I assume they wrote a check.

Holy cow! Babette knows Kevin Costner!

Oh, can I also add that while I love Helen Mirren, her "Ladies and Gentlemen I give you The Queen" moment was a little too uppity for me. It didn't play well with me for some reason.

My problem with it was that it didn't really make any sense.

Yeah, somehow I don't think that went quite the way she thought it did in her head.

Babette, don't know who the presenter is, but they gave the accountants/secret-until-envelope-opening-on-stage spiel over the closing credits.

I found a compilation of all the 2005 live and animated shorts on Amazon. I'm hoping they do the same for this year. I'd love to buy the whole lot and watch them all again.

Eh, I think her Queen Oscar thing was ok. A tad flat ... but, by God, it was her umpteenth acceptance speech for that role.

I think it was a nice way of saying that, despite all the previous accolades, the royalty level of Oscar still meant something to her.

I think she may have been fudging that a bit, but I appreciated the sentiment of trying to make the Oscar win something somehow more than her previous seven.

That little blurb may just be the thing that finally gets me to download the iTunes software I got with my iPod.

Perhaps this is true, but I thought the Departed was rock solid from top to bottom, a good film and at least he got his overdue Oscar for a good film (IMO, at least) rather than The Aviator.
