I have to say I loved the show this year. Loved Hugh Jackman hosting (OMG, that man is sex on a stick, isn't he?), loved all the songs and dances, loved the former winners saluting the nominees (Sophia Loren, next time, write your own material)-was not surprised that a)Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor and; b)that Mickey Rourke did not win for Best Actor (no way the Academy members are going to let his crazy ass on stage to make a crazy speech on their big night--the Golden Globes are one thing, but the Oscars are different).

Loved Kate Winslet's speech. ("Dad, whistle or something so I know where you are.") Loved Sean Penn's, too. ("You commie, homo-loving sons of guns.") Loved composer A.R. Rahman's music and the performances thereof. His speech ended with "All my life, I've had a choice of hate and love I chose love, and I'm here." That is a wonderful sentiment.

All in all, a good show, I thought. Loved the new format and I hope they keep it.

Now, I want to see "Slumdog Millionaire"--wonder if I can talk hubby into taking me?
