I loved that jab, too (lol)! ;o)
I'm loving the format so far, even though I picked "Sweeney Todd" to win for Costume Design.
ETA: George is looking quite delish tonight.

I'm getting *KILLED* on my ballot so far, but these are some wonderful surprises nevertheless.
ETA! These flashback montages are delightful as well!

Yup, but that song was the "weakest" of the 3 nominated songs from "Enchanted," IMO. I picked the song from "Once" to win, so I'm happy.

See you next year!
Well, another Oscars is in the books! I got 14 out of 24 correct (one less than last year). Even though my ballot was blown all to hayle, I'm glad the show wasn't as predictable as I had expected (with the exception of all the much-deserved wins for No Country For Old Men, of course  ). In general, I was pleased.
See y'all next year!

He always looks good.
The format/flow worked better this year. But it was still boring only because the winners didn't give dramatic speeches.

i liked it
i thought it was good. was it the best, well, nope, but it was certainly consistent and ran smooth. i think jon stewart did a great job!
something i noticed during the montages, whoopie goldberg was not 'noted' for having hosted the awards 4 times. you saw her when she won her award. i thought that was kinda weird.

The winners didn't really have time to give the heartwrenching dramatic speeches, the orchestra would have started playing them off. I think "helping" people wrap it up is a good idea, but I think they should lengthen the time that they do give them.
By the way, I loved how Javiar Bardem did the last part of his speech in Spanish, speaking directly to his mother!

i agree to the above. plus, it was talked about on The View Whoopi being overlooked. she seemed disappointed to have been overlooked and moved that her "co-workers" pointed it out and were mad about it.
i really liked that Jon Steward brought out the co-winner of the Best Song award so that she could give her acceptance speech having been cut off before. plus, him playing the video game w/the young Black singer was really cute
