The ceeremony seems subdued, almost somber, like a wake.

Which, in a very real way, it is.

By the way...The media has been banned from the post-Oscar parties so us common folk won't see them partying while our soldiers are fighting in Iraq.

This just seems so hypocritical. For what it was worth, my husband's unit (Army) had its annual ball last night and while some of the honors given were somber, most of the festivities were not. There were a few black dresses but a lot were more like our group below.
