I'm not back. Just wanted to gloat :)
It was a juicy slow hanging curve ball I must admit. I took a swing after seeing to what you responded myself.
The most boring Oscars I can ever remember...
Chris Rock was bad, but less offensive than I thought he would be,
I wanted Aviator/Martie, but Hillary Swank was amazing in the role, as was Jamie Foxx in Ray.
I would have liked to see Sideways get at least Supporting Actress, and screenplay. I thought that was the movie I am most likely to watch again from last year.
But overall a very boring night, no memorable acceptance speeches, and even the Bush-bashing didn't anger me like it used to-- I guess winning and seeing that the Socialists still don't get it doesn't bother me any more.
I suggest for emcee next year: Dick Cheney
