Overall, the show appeared to have a lot of phony-ness. Stallone was yawning one time then the camera hit him and he picked up the phone and said hello. Julia (Republican hater) Roberts gave an Academy Award tear jerker performance, probably better than any of her movies (she almost had me believing her).
On the other hand, Faith, Dixie Chicks, and Mariah did well. But then they are probably the best entertainers on the planet right now.
Off topic but Bill Maher is on Tonite show doing more whining and trying to save his careerass. He is getting what he deserves. Just said Prez gave a great speech.
