Hey, yeah! Maybe his good friend Michael Moore flew him over. That could be the big surprise of the night. Uncle Fidel.

I am hoping they will have some surprises like Cate Blancett getting it instead of Ruby.

But Jon Stewart? GAG ME Why can’t they get Billy Crystal??

Oh dear, I just saw her shoes. I think he must have worn the brown shoes to distract from her shoes.

What in the world made Keri wear a dress that’s the same color as her skin tone? She looks pretty strange. Though, it’s a pretty dress.

Helen Mirren looks classy.

I’ll probably be in the minority here - but I LOVE Helen Mirren’s dress.

Usually the older ladies wear such frumpy dresses and that one is just amazing.

I hated Knocked up. We rented it and I turned it off before the end.

ABC started a red carpet show at 5 pacific. The actual broadcast begins in about 10 minutes. Glad you could join us!

Wait, all those pictures in the yahoo wire that call the green dressed girl Isla Fisher? That’s not her. That’s Amy Adams.

HAHA AP screwed the pooch on that one.

We liked it. Didn't like Superbad, though. It was very awkward.

That dress makes Cameron’s butt look three feet wide. Bad choice. Don’t like Garner either too matronly.

Where is Halle when you need her? Jessica Alba looks fantastic.

Michael Moore looked like a big slow moving toad and then he croaked "tell them (the international community) we're very sorry."

Darn, I missed Moore... he actually said that?
