melliciousHmm, the Academy has evidently discovered CGI. Nice intro, though. (And Billy Crystal and Chris Rock in a tent? Genius.)
Jon Stewart's jokes are a little lame, I'm afraid. I expected better from him, really. The western clip thing was good, though.
Jesus, could Nicole Kidman look any paler? It's not really her best look. And... George Clooney wins for Best Supporting. I was sort of rooting for Matt Dillon, just because I like him and he ought to have been nominated long ago, but Clooney is probably deserving too. (I haven't seen Syriana. The minute I heard about the fingernail thing, they lost me as a possible customer. Eww.)
The "78" all over the place is kind of weird.
WTF has Ben Stiller got on? Well, you gotta admit he's a guy who never minds making an idiot of himself. Pretty funny bit, though. Effect nominees: we got Narnia, Kong and War of the Worlds... and Peter Jackson's boys win, as usual.
Reese Witherspoon is giving the award for Best Animated Feature. Howl's Moving Castle, Corpse Bride and Wallace & Gromit... and Wallace & Gromit wins. Whoa, look at this guy's huge bow tie! Oh, both of them have them... and they brought little ones for the Oscars too. I think they had a little bit of a clue they might win, didn't they?
Here's another WTF moment - what is Naomi Watts wearing? It appears to be sort of a deconstructed flesh-colored thing. Dolly Parton looks like she's had a couple of face-lifts since I've last seen her, too. She sounded good, though. It'd be pretty cool to see her win an Oscar.
(More to come, I imagine.)
