Pretty good show. Moved along nicely. I thought Helen Mirren had the best look and the Day-Lewises the collective worst. Diablo Cody wins the "F*ck, I should have bought underwear," award.

I guess it's okay that "No County For Old Men" won. Of the four best picture nominees that I saw, all had some serious problems, so why not give the Coens the award for their body of work. My best picture of the year is still "Hairspray."

Nice couple of kids, neat story, etc., and maybe you love it in the context of the movie, but that winning song just about put me to sleep. Judging by the performances alone, I thought the "August Rush" song was going to win.

This was my kids' first Oscars. They enjoyed seeing Giselle, Jadis, the girl from Princess Diaries, etc. My son is still not entirely clear on the actor concept.
