I was chiefly surprised by the "Closer" supporting wins. Though I called the Portman win after Owen won.

I also had swapped director and film. I was sure Million Dollar Baby would take film and Aviator would take director... there's been all kinds of buzz about Scorsese winning his first Oscar, and I thought M$B to be a far better film. I wouldn't rule out a split that way for the Academy, though.

Totally expected, but I was glad to see wins for Foxx and Sideways.

Skimming this thread makes me kinda wish I'd seen some of this. But I'm still not a fan of the mini-Oscars. :) Only the Super Bowl of the movies for me...

But I probably will go look for pics of the cute guys today. ;)

Aw, I dug the dark look. But it's for a movie. She's playing Aeon Flux (and looks quite hot in the part).

Huh, I wasn't that surprised by Owen's and Portman's wins. And I never really get a Director win going one way, and the Best Picture win going another. Feels incongruous to me.

Saw Million Dollar Baby with my parents. It was a very well made movie, but much like Mystic River, I think I let the hype get my hopes up too high. I wasn't amazed by it, though Swank gave another incredible performance, and I agree with her that Eastwood gave the performance of his career. I love what he can do with actors, but over all, I still prefer my affinity for Eteranl Sunshine over Eastwood's effort.

I noticed those kids too. My goodness, they were beauties.

I saw her at a comic con about a year ago while her boyfriend was doing press for The Punisher, and she looked AMAZING. So, so pretty with her narrow face and crinkly eyes. I really do think she's done something, but maybe it's just a little weight gain. I don't know. A year certianly seemed to have evidenced some odd changes though.
