Oscar castrates himself

The Academy celebrates niceness, bleeps out "bitch" and pats itself on the back for good behavior. And what did they do to poor Jon Stewart?

    Uh, I Love Jon Stewart...

    Hello,

    Not sure what all the hullaballoo is about with Jon. I enjoyed him. His pretty face can cheer up this gal any day.

    Otherwise, I love hiphop, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about the genre--or music in general--to understand why one song was chosen over another. I loved the Crash song, but was routing for BBM's. (I thought Dolly's song was trite.) Who cd top Itzhak Perleman???

    I loved the homoerotic cowboy clip shown at the beginning of the show. Heavy sigh: the in-your-face irony of it all.

    The Owen brothers looked like they just got out of bed.

    When I saw Huffman in the black dress, I knew she wdn't win. For some reason, seeing Reese in the white-gold dress said winner for sure.

    J Lo was gorgeous despite hips in that dress looking huge, but, on the other hand, Hilary Swank looked so incredibly underdressed.

    NO one--and I mean NO one--beat Jessica Alba's dress.

    You RULE woman!

    Despite my wanting BBM to win, I heartily congratulate fellow Canadian Haggis for Crash!
