I loved Steve Martin too, he's my favorite. But Billy does a great job, IMHO.

[Petronski]

Time for Maureen Dowd to gulp her ice tea tumbler filled with scotch.

[eddie willers]

Up until Crystal, my only other favorite Oscar host was Bob Hope.

Carson was no sloutch.

[mabelkitty]

It was $117 through last night.
Sunday's numbers weren't in yet.
I've been following as a gauge for when my hubby and I can go and actually get a seat.
Looks like it will be a while, but we'll make it.

[lainie]

Supporting actor, okay

[Senator Pardek]

Oh Senator, you always crack me up! :-)

That's why they keep me here.

[William McKinley]

Mo Dowd is deeply saddened.

[jbstrick]

HOLY COW!!! Look @ Zeta Jones!!!

[gitmo]

It's on backwards.

[al baby]

is 21 grams the bill clinton mena story

[DoughtyOne]

[votelife]

this whole show seems like you're so great, no you're so great, no you're so great. kind of sickening.

[Political Junkie Too]

I think it's next.

With the whole Mel Gibson backlash, I wonder how Hollywood treated Vanessa Redgrave when she came out in support of the PLO against Israel, vs. how Hollywood is treating Gibson because of his support of Christianity.

[Petronski]

The sound sucks on my end too.


Del Toro is freakin' brilliant.

[goldensky]

Describe cheapshot, please, for those of us who missed it?

[Maigrey]

Please! Anyone but the Socialists!

[BigWaveBetty]

Can I hate her because she's beautiful? ;-)

[rintense]

Go Ken! No Tim!

[mabelkitty]

Marcia Gay Harden was my favorite.
The bouffant hair, the jewel toned dress, and the happy glow of a pregnant lady.
She was so happy and she had her husband, sister, and mother with her.
She's a Christian, and she recently experienced tragedy in that her niece and nephew died in a house fire.

[BlueAngel]

I hadn't heard that amount but that would be great for Mel!
