It looks like Ryan Seacrest will have ammunition to make more jabs at Simon Cowell now that Hudson won an Oscar.

Didn't watch the Superbowl! I'm not really watching the Awards, they're just on! I just throw a tape in for the Super Bowl...just in case there are some good spots.

I sure hope Marty Scorcese wins...he deserves it for the rat at the end of Departed if nothing else...and if they are giving out sentimental Oscars tonight (Alan Arkin, Pete O'Toole) he should win and likewise his movie.
To: spectre
I really didn't expect Sunshine to win anything other than MAYBE Arkin for supporting actor.... Hollywood HATES happy movies......
I'm happy with Grandpa winning... he was the only one who deserved it.
To: DeerfieldObserver
She's no Chris Rock and thank God for that. She's been fine.
