My point for point review of Hollywood's big night:
Highlights:
Tim Robbin's flipping off Chris Rock, Charlie Kuafman's being intimidated by the 'shot clock', Sidney Lumet's acceptance speech for his Lifetime Achievement Award (What a classy dude).
Best Supporting Actor - Morgan Freeman: Hey you guys! It's the Electric Company. I liked Clive Owen.
Best Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchet: No brainer. Hollywood does so love itself.
Best Actress - Hiary Swank: Forgot the back of her dress. Another no brainer.
Best Actor - Jamie Foxx: Enough already. You're not Ray Charles. You can shut up now and go hang with Cuba Gooding in his shitty roles. See ya in Soulplane 2.
Best Director - Clint Eastwood: Yep, he gets the 'you're-ready-to-tip-over' Directing Oscar. Scorsese dissed again.
Best Picture - Million Dollar Baby: *Mike making a fish face with flapping gill action* Fished in. You all fell for it... What a sad commentary. It was good, but not that good.
Bitches:
Beyoncé - Do you really know what you were singing? Shut up!
Sean Penn - Still a brainless egotistical turd.
Barbara Striesand - Still with the big nose but now you're fat too.
Overall:
My prevailing thoughts during the bradcast: *yawn* When will this end.
I can't wait until next year.

I recall commenting on hoping Ray got the Oscar nod for BP. You got back to me just after seeing MDB and suggested that I watch that before making up my mind. Why the sudden 'underwater antics'?
