Thoughts while sitting in front of the television for almost 4 hours last night (Oscar night, eh?)

What's with all the laundry list thank you speeches? Doesn't anyone in Hollywood have any imagination? sorry. Dumb question.

Does Russell Crowe ever smile? What's wrong, buddy, can't you have a little fun? Oh sure, there's a plot to kidnap you and you're being watched every minute of every day, but that's Hollywood, brother. Where art thou?

How much did frickin Goldie and Kurt pay the cameraman or producer last night? I think we saw more of them than we saw of Steve Martin. Goldie, you're so 1970. Or are you jealous of little Kate's good fortune now?

What's the deal with those little pencil mustaches? Tom Hanks, Danny DeVito and Bobby Zimmerman all had 'em. Are these little strips of fur the style thing for men like rat tails were in the '90s? Shave, please.

Irish yodelling women - Cranberries, Sinead etc. - move over! Here comes Bjork!

Did Cameron Crowe go over to Russell Crowe and shake his hand? Heh heh. That kinda made me laugh.

The high heels have to go, ladies. You're wearing those uncomfortable dresses that don't allow your legs to move in a natural way already. So why triple the problem with those stupid shoes? You all looked like you had a prickly pear shoved up your ass when you walked to the microphones. And it all culminated in Julia Roberts being helped to the stage because the combination shoe/dress wouldn't allow her to move. Say no to heels!

When Tom Cruise got up there to present the best director Oscar, I knew Steven Soderbergh was going to win. He was the only guy nominated who is as short as Cruise, so Tom, the biggest name in Hollywood, must have pulled a string or two, don't you think?

Okay, we've changed our minds about the laundry list speeches being bad... Julia, will you please shut up?!
