  Walk The Line should have been nominated for Best Picture, and Silent Waters, from Pakistan for Best Foreign Film

  Billy Crystal, Chris Rock, Steve Martin, Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, make zany experiences declining to host the Oscars, and Mel Gibson in Mayan decline - then Jon Stewart wakes up in bed (with who?)...
  
  An auspicious beginning

  Funny gay-themed pastiche of classic Westerns

  Best Supporting Actor goes to...George Clooney for Syriana
  
  I think he sure deserved it

  Jon's opening monologue was pretty funny - I thought he looked really nervous at the start but warmed up a bit after he got a couple of laughs.

  No Star Movies working here in Calcutta, India.

  The Visual Effects Oscar went to King Kong - a remake that sure was fabulous

  I find the music playing during acceptance speeches to be highly intrusive and annoying.

  Camille Paglia and Cintra Wilson are simul-critiquing the Oscars

  Best Animated feature film went to "Wallace and Gromit" - I haven't seen it, but I wish it went to "Howl" - Miyazaki is so good, even though this might not be his best

  All the short films are available for download on iTunes, and it makes sense now to watch 'Six Shooter', which won 'live-action short'

• 14 - Aaman

  Mar 05, 2006 at 8:50 pm

  And to follow-up, best animated short is given to 'The Moon And the Son'

  What connects Chicago and a Geisha?

  Besides the costume designer?

  the Oscar award for best costumes

• 18 - Sister Ray

  Jennifer Annison looked great (so did Russell Crowe :->). I liked that she cut the comedy. I didn't get Ben Stiller's skit.

  Anyone notice that fishes moving in harmony seems to be the in-thing in advertising - Mcdonalds and JCP used the same thing

  Most of the gowns have been lovely, except for that flower-thingy on the front of Naomi Watts' dress.

  Best Supporting Actress went to Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain:)
  
  Actually Rachel Weiss in Constant Gardener:)
  
  And the music is annoying

  Wal-mart had the best ad so far, perhaps surprisingly - short and sweet, and stylish, unlike 'Tab - the local energy drink for women'

  Mar 05, 2006 at 9:20 pm

  Lauren Bacall was a bit scary.

• 24 - Sister Ray

  Mar 05, 2006 at 9:22 pm

  Kudos to Ms. Bacall, and it was fun seeing all those black and white movies.
  
  I must be in a curmudgeonly mood tonight - Jon Stewart is really annoying me.
  
  The guy from "Hustle and Flow" looked so different from how he looked in the movie.

  Best documentary goes to the richly deserving "March Of the Penguins", who take a few fake penguins up on stage
