OK, I may be biased, as I already love Jon Stewart, but did he or did he not make one of the greatest Oscar hosts ever? He was extremely funny and just seemed be having a good time, and rolled with every punch the night through him. Everything after “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp” was priceless. The spoof of the Oscar campaign television commercials was priceless. He was just playing and having the time of his life out there. And of course one of my favorite moments had to be when he made fun of how many montage sequences there were in the show. Seriously, he wasn’t far wrong in saying that they were running out of clips to show. What the heck was that all about?

About the winners…well, not too many surprises there. I was a little surprised by how many awards Memoirs of a Geisha won. And it is always a little shocking when Best Director and Best Film go to different films (Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain and Crash, respectively). Other than that, yeah, not too many surprises. The films I liked the best didn’t win (or weren’t even nominated). That’s just how it goes.

[If I’m feeling really ambitious I might actually give you guys my thoughts on the best films of the year. Of course, that would be after writing up my Monday Movie Review, and you all know how into continued work on the computer I’ll be then. We’ll see.]
