Dang, a lot of you guys watched the Academy Awards last night. Glad you’re blogging about it today. I caught about five minutes of the show, and it looks like there was a lot to miss. Some highlights:

On the fashion (or lack thereof):
”Oh, I’m going to the Oscars….I just don’t have time to fix my hair.” - Sista Smiff

On the host:
I’ve been fed audio of Jon Stewart’s jokes from last night. Not bad. He’s better than Chris Rock or Whoopi. Or Letterman. But not Billy Crystal. - Frank at Left of the Dial

On an omission:
Break out the kleenex, here comes the Memorial. WTF? They left out Brad Renfro! - Connielane

On the best screenplay winner:
Yay to someone who is outside the Hollywood norm. Yay to a movie that doesn’t pander to the lowest common denominator (sorry Norbit). - Squirrel Queen

On Helen Mirren:
Its an adjective-fest with the Queen. And again, like half of her dress is made of diamonds. How many Africans are dead so that our movie stars can be sparkly? - Justin at Growing Up

On not having to take advantage of the time delay:
There was only one surprise, and that was Michael Moore did NOT win best documentary for ‘Sicko.’ There were no wardrobe malfunctions, no political speeches, and not even one f***. In other words, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. - Sharon Cobb

Nathan and Joshua Blankenship both wrote about the winning song Falling Slowly from Once. VH1 has been playing this video every morning. Now I know why.
