I don't care if he fucked Britney Spears-- Collin Farrel is freakin' hot.

And his accent. I knew he had one but I didn't realize just how well he'd been faking Americana in those movies until now. Sex-y.

All the cameras seemed permanently focused on Salma Hayek's breasts.

I'm surprised Chicago won over The Hours and The Pianist. Especially since LOTR was a better movie than Chicago, for all I enjoyed the latter.

I think it was a poor mark on the Acedemy to give Roman Polanski a personal award, or even to nominate him. The possibility of giving a collaberative work like a feature film the Best Picure award is one thing (and it seems like everyone agrees The Pianist was an amazing movie), but to give the man personally award is a mistake. And I wish he had shown up personally, so he could have gotten arrested.

I'm sad I missed Adrian Brody's acceptance speech. It sounds from everyone else like it was adorable.

I :heart: Michael Moore. Even though he was boo-ed off-stage by the same audience that clapped for his winning, and even though he took the opportunity to shamelessly spout his politics-- can you blame him?What better opportunity for attention-- I still think his movies kick ass and he deserved it.

we were totally doing "jiggle-ometer" action...except it was all about queen latifah's breasts.

gorgeous little adrien brody & his terribly fabulous eyebrows had the best speech ever. he was so real. i think it actually topped ally sheedy's acceptance speech at the independent spirit awards several years ago. someone brought her a chair in the middle of her speech.

I need to fuck Colin Farrell's accent. If not Colin himself.

And I MISSED Catherine and Queen Latifah perform "I Move On." Was it good?

Finally, Michael Moore: Brave, brave man. I applauded him loudly.

I've been in love with Adrien Brody for a while now, ever since I saw a picture of him on the cover of Toronto's NOW magazine. His face fascinates me. He looks exactly like a character I had in my head ...

I completely agree with you re: Polanski.

I think it was Look At Us, We Don't Care About The Artiste, We Care About The Artiste's WORK! Night at the Oscars. An attitude toward which I am indifferent toward RE: Polanski and utterly ecstatic about RE: Eminem. "Lose Yourself" WAS the best song and DID deserve the Oscar, and dear me, it won the award! Squeep!

Queen Latifah is now firmly on my list of Women I Would Readily Go Gay For. And I'm not even all that wild about her rapping skills. But GUH. DRESS. *GUHHH.*

You may keep all of Colin Farrell. His eyebrows are too mesmerizing for me to find him attractive. Caterpillar-eyebrows, going up and down, up and down...he was funny introducing U2, though. "They're Irish! And they're an inspiration! And and and they're so keeeeewwwwlllll!" He totally wants to have U2's very Irish babies.

I haven't seen any Adrien Brody movie except "Angels in the Outfield" (which CAN'T be his best work), but I absolutely have to see more now because he was So Incredibly Adorable. He was sweet and bouncy and earnest and endearing! "There comes a time in life when everything seems to make sense...and...this is not one of those times." MWEHEHEHE! The shout-out to his friend in Kuwait was sweet. And he snarked at the show-runners when they tried playing music to cut him off! "CUT IT OUT!" He get SO many bonus points for that!

And they're going to give "Return of the King" the Best Picture Oscar even if it involves Frodo reading the phone book (do they have phones in Middle Earth?) aloud for three hours, because they'll feel so guilty for shafting the first two movies. More precisely, they'll give RotK the award because they'll feel so afraid of the multi-legions of howling fannits who will chase them down if they don't.

Adrian Brody, though very pretty, seemed like an idiot to me. Michael Moore, however, is my hero. And I got to interview him last fall. ::beams::t

I am glad Micheal mooore won too. Its a very good documentary/movie, and now seems to be the right time to ask the questions he asked. I didn't see the cermony, but thousands of other actors etc sprout politics or over wrought sentiment (I remeber Hilary Swank's acceptance speech...dear God!)so I don't see why he shouldn't.

Not a big Roman Polanski fan are you? I shouldn't be surpirced by tasteless awards from the Academy though...

I think he deserved it. Whatever he's done in his personal life (and fleeing the country instead of just doing the jail time? Stupid and cowardly. I'm glad they didn't let him back just for the Oscars.) his direction of The Pianist was wonderful, and in my opinion, greatly deserving of recognition. I was pleasently surprised when he won because I was sure it was going to go to Marshall and I'm not a huge Chicago fan.

The standing ovation though? Dumb.
