OSCAR '08 Quick Hits

The 80th Annual Academy Awards are history...What follows are just a few random thoughts on Hollywood's big night--But first...



And the Oscar goes to...

Reactions from Oscar winners

Overall the show was another snoozer...But there were a few things that perked it up a bit...

-Host Jon Stewart got off some funny lines tonight but his best moment came when he invited Best Song co-winner Markéta Irglová back on stage to give her acceptance speech after the orchestra drowned her out.

-I loved the Oscar at 80 montage.

-Best Presenters our fighting men and women over in Iraq-Despite how the Hollywood crowd really feels about them. It was better than not seeing them at all--who helped Tom Hanks hand out the Best Documentary Short Subject Award to Freeheld: The Laurel Hester Story...

-Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen presenting the award for Besr Sound Editing to The Bourne Ultimatum-Funny Stuff!



-Production Designer Robert F. Boyle receiving his honorary Oscar-a frequent collaborator of Alfred Hitchcock's...Boyle Finally Gets His Due!!

I thought Ruby Dee and Hal Holbrook should have won...

I will have more to say on Oscar '08 larer today...
