I was 5 for 6 in Oscar predictions this year. I missed Crash as Best Picture. But I did win Oscar Bingo. We all had Bingo cards with various usual Oscar happenings like "Winner says 'Wow!'" or "Winner trips on stairs." We also ate every bit of food before George Clooney finished his acceptance speech. I seriously under-ordered food from Chili's. I thought four appetizers would be plenty but I was as wrong as Charlize Theron's dress choice.

I thought Jon Stewart was great. It is the Academy Awards, not the Jon Stewart Show. He kept things moving and didn't make the show about himself.

Mark kept pointing out winners who thanked their mothers. I complained a long time ago that winners never thanked their mothers, only their agents etc. "See, Mom, they DO thank their mothers." Just as long as he or Claire does.
