It was nice, but kinda no-other-way-possible that it won for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. And it was a pleasant surprise that it won Best Score. But seeing as the great nominated performances were, in most cases, rightfully outshined by others, I was really disapointed that it didn't win the Cinematography award and especially that it lost Best Picture to "Crash."


Crash!!!. Some of you may know me as one of the staunchest defenders of that film, but it was frankly a distant runner up to most of the other nominees and a zillion miles from even being in Brokeback's league. Grrrrrr.



As for the show .... not too bad. Jon Stewart was amusing, and the proceedings seem to flow along nicely. Not enough fasion faux pas, though there thankfully was that weird giant thing on Charlise Theron's shoulder. WTF?





(BTW, good work on your predictions, G.C. )
