80th Annual OSCAR Winners!

Well, the Oscars are a wrap. I did alright with my predictions. Jason Bourne kicked my butt though. Still sore. I picked the winners for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Adapated Screenplay -- and some others. Not bad, I guess. Here are winners....

What did you think about this year's Oscar winners?

• I don't really feel like anyone was slighted. Best Supp. Actress was the most wide open.

Did you think Jon Stewart did a good job with the hosting?

• He was great! I really enjoyed him, even better than before. Easy on the sarcasm but he did what he does and he did it well.
• He kind of disappeared for the last hour, but I guess they usually do that towards the end when everyone wants to wrap it up already and get to the parties.
• I loved him playing video games with that lil girl. Funny.

What were the big surprises of the night?

• Just two that I can think of: Tilda Swinton and The Bourne Ultimatum wins.

Any huge disappointments?

• Besides the orchestra cutting speeches short....Not really.
• That Jerry Sienfeld bee thing was stupid.

Oh, and who looked awesome, and who didn't?

• I thought Marion Cotillard, Julie Christie, Laura Linney, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner had the best looks of the night among the ladies. But other than those three....sheesh, none of the women really know how to get dressed up I guess. On the guy's side, Javier Bardem, Daniel Day-Lewis and George Clooney both looked great, and so did Denzel Washington.
• Who didn't? Um, Tilda Swinton (although I like her) didn't look too flattering....I think it was the dress. All the other dresses didn't do anything for me.

Some other suprises and delights:

• Best couple AND Best Moment award goes to: Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova winning for the song 'Falling Slowly' from the movie "Once".
• I think I saw a ring on Marketa Irglova's left hand. Yay!
• John Stewart being a gentleman and bringing back Marketa Irglova to make her great acceptance speech. Yay!
• Brad Bird winning for "Ratatouille"! I love Mr. Bird.
• "Atonement" and "Juno" only winning one award each.
• Scorcese's eyebrows always make me feel better about my own.
• Seeing Diablo Cody next to Harrison Ford was funny. Surreal.

Okay so, time for your thoughts on Hollywood's big night -- discuss away!
