As for the ceremony itself I thought it was pretty lifeless with a few exceptions; For all of the talk before the show about the unpredictable hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin--they fell pretty flat...The opening bit was actually painfully unfunny--Their best bit was the filmed before hand Paranormal Activity spoof otherwise...zzzz
There was some golden moments though...
Ben Stiller spoofs 'Avatar while handing "Star Trek" its win for make-up--It might be worth having Stiller host next year....
The best acceptance speech of the night goes to Monique as Best Supporting Actress for her turn in "Precious: Based on the novel 'Push' by Sapphire"
The Horror tribute montage...
And the heartfelt tribute to the late great John Hughes Introduced by Matthew Broderick and Molly Ringwald, the montage of great Hughes moments was followed by a handful of his most famous leading actors talking about him-- On stage were Hughes alum Anthony Michael Hall, Macaulay Culkin, Jon Cryer, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson wirh his family in the audience....
Having 10 Best Pic noms meant nothing in the end because it was always between 'Tar and Locker anyway...
