Peter O' Toole's loss was my biggest disappointment of the evening.

And the win for The Danish Poet my biggest joy (and the show went downhill from that early height of giddiness.)

Bah, Children of Men and United 93 shut out from any awards. Lame, Pan's Labyrinth losing Best Foreign Language Film. And she's great, but I'm sick of Helen Mirren winning for The Queen. Give someone else a chance!

The deserving best actress, Kate Winslet, was respendently gorgeous. Beating her on the drop-dead-o'meter was Cate Blanchett. Owh.My.Gawd. Gwynth Paltrow also had a lovely gown, as did Humanitarian winner Sherry Lansing. Oh, and Penelope Cruz was devine. Those were the five fashion and beauty winners, imho.

Leo DiCaprio had the best tuxedo. Clive Owen is officially the world's sexiest man.

Did I mention Peter O'Toole was robbed?

And, ho-hum, The Departed ... a good enough film, but a bloody remake.

Despite all the kudos for The Departed (screenplay, directory and best picture?! Sheesh) ... I think the biggest winner and presence of the evening was ... Al Gore!

Cheers for the two big-award wins for Little Miss Sunshine

Ellen DeGeneres was fine ... I think I liked her bit with Scorcese in the audience best. Oh, and having Steven Speilberg snap her myspace photo was inspired. As Frodo Potter pointed out, she was channeling Bob Newhart quite nicely during her opening schtick ... and she was pleasantly funny there and throughout the show.

Did I mention Pan's Labyrinth was robbed? No original screenplay win either. WTF

But at least it won in a couple of well-deserved artistic categories (makeup and art direction, were they?)

And I call FOUL and High Fraud

with Babel's win for Best Score. Balderdash! That was a recycle from the composer's earlier works. I call shenanigans!

The Academy knows nothing. Children of Men and United 93 were the best films of 2006. Peter O' Toole was best actor and Kate Winslet best actress.

But at least they got it right with The Danish Poet

The show itself moved right along ... but was really rather boring, all things considered. Hmmmmm.
