Way better than usual! They must have let the actual sound guys do the sound, instead of the Producers thinking they would be better at it - like they so often do.

I got the impression that the Oscar Organization was trying to show that things are getting better economically and that the film industry is solid.

I was THRILLED that Avatar did not win Best Picture.

I thought the lighting was way too dark in the background at times, particularly noticed during the dance sequence but at several points throughout the show- your professional thoughts?

I was also pleased that Avatar was rcognized for what was wonderful about it: its technical achievements, and not for the film as a whole.

I just love the Oscars, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I chuckled out loud (col) at this re-cap of best and worst Oscar dresses at Slate. From “Zoe Saldana’s ‘ornamental kale” gown, to “SJP looked as if she was wearing a satin sofa covering”, and “Sigourney's woeful uniboob”, this article had me lol-ing. http://www.slate.com/id/2247068 Love me some bitchy fashion queens.

From my view Sandra Bullock (who I’m not a particular fan of per se) stole the evening. Her dress which was gorgeous and sufficiently over the top – which every dress at THE most glamorous spectacle of the year should be- her acceptance speech which seemed totally relaxed (yay Lopressor) and yet gracious and charming (let’s face it: when a winning actress bursts into tears during her acceptance speech I just think she is auditioning for upcoming parts), plus the fact that days before she actually showed up to accept her Razzie award for worst performance of the year- how freakin’ cool is she? Too bad I’m not a fan but maybe I will try to like her more now.
