Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful moment. Made me all misty-eyed when it happened. I can be such a sap.

That made me cry. Father-daughter moments always get to me.

Found this rather funny review of the show:

Thanks Heidi and Tom for hosting! It was great. Best Show/Party ever.

Oh yes, and kudos to H&T for the genius menu for the evening. And Sorshah for yet another brilliant cake (and I don't want to hear any, "Oh, but it was so rushed" nonsense from you, it was fabulous).

Okay, at least I can see everyone in the In Memoriam, thanks youtube.

They skipped Anita Page, one of the last silent film stars.*

*Diana Serra Kerry is still here, though I've never seen a Baby Peggy film

The article reminded me of a Stupid Red Carpet Moment

Self-answering questions are amusing

They seem to have skipped a lot of people this year, though I don't know if this year was unusual in that regard.

Not appearing in the montage:
Patrick McGoohan
Estelle Getty
Earytha Kitt
Harvey Korman
George Carlin
Don LaFontaine
Mel Ferrer
Edie Adams
Ann Savage
Robert Prosky
Arthur C. Clarke
William Gibson

Wouldn't that be because he's not yet dead?

Meanwhile, Tina Fey's swipe at religion was among the funniest and most brilliant things of the entire show ... so it all depends on how it's done.

I don't know if she wrote her's either. And it was all but lost in applause already in progress. But it was f'in brilliant.

I wouldn't say it was lost in the applause - the crowd's reaction was for the joke, which didn't need the punchline. We all knew what they were talking about, though her actually saying that made it more of a "oh no she didn't" moment. Those two together are like dynamite, ka-pow!
