Not a bad show. Not spectacular, but I was entertained. I'm really happy that Eternal Sunshine got something. That's two years in a row where they did right with the screenplay category (Lost in Translation).

Early in the show, while we were listening to one of the songs from the suck-fest that was the song category, CP mentioned that, of course, nothing from Ray could be nominated since they weren't original songs for the movie. So when I saw Ray nominated for Sound Mixing, I said, "They're going to give it to Ray since they can't give it for the music." Sure enough...

I like Chris Rock a lot, especially in his HBO concerts, but I get a feeling this will probably be his only outing at the Oscars. The folks in the theater just weren't laughing much. (And I guess he really ticked off Sean Penn. I wish Jude Law had been there to say, "Hey, take it easy, Sean. Chris was just joking, sheesh.")

Also, the endless bit with Chris Rock reading Catherine Zeta Jones' lines was godawful.

Yeah, pretty boring one this year.

Sean Penn seems eternally pissed off. For God's sake, it was a comedic monologue.

Does he think Jude is going to call him tomorrow and say "thank you for upholding my honor"?

I like Rock's comeback about his accountant. I think Penn owns him $80! HAHAHAHAHAH!

I had my traditions for Oscar night. Sat at home, by myself, taping the show, eating Mint Chip IceCream and tabulating my score of what I think will win. I go 11 right this year.

I echo NA's coment about Frank Thomas and all the others.

I wasn't very impressed with any of the musical numbers. It was like they threw Carlos Santana up there at the last moment for some legitimacy. Actually, I take that back. I always enjoy Yo Yo Ma.

I was rooting for Don Cheatle (sp?). I've loved him in everything I've seen him in. Likewise with Johnny Depp. I think I'm happy for Jamie Foxx but I haven't seen "Ray" yet.

I wanted to see "Finding Neverland" get something, just because I really adored it. I was glad to see that "The Aviator" didn't take much though. It wa a cool movie but not spectacular, IMO. Well, except for Cate Blanchet, who was wonderful and deserved the Best Supporting Actress award.

All in all, pretty boring but it had some nice moments.

I was also rooting for Johnny (I said "just give it to him for the accent!") but I was very happy for Foxx. He must have really deserved it. It is tough for a less-than-heavyweight to win in that category. Makes me want to see "Ray".

It got 4 Oscars. I think that counts as a lot. After the first hour I was sure it had the Best Pic wrapped up.

Definitely a bummer about Finding Neverland. But I'm still glowing over the Eternal Sunshine win.

Indeed, and they were well-deserved in those catagories. I just didn't think it it was worthy of some of the others it was nominated for.

Although, who knows? I may have had too many high expectations when I went to see it. I was expecting more though. I've always been a Scorsese fan for a long time and just didn't think this was his best.

And you work for a movie studio theme park.
