Jon Stewart.. yes. Chris Rock… NO! I like him and his comedy is pretty on target, but as a host, he wasn’t all that. Jon Stewart was tops.

By the by, I completely disagree with you on Ellen. Her timing was awful, she fluffed a bit, and her opening monologue almost sent me to sleep! Bring back Jon Stewart, i say. Or maybe Chris Rock.

Lorin,

I sat through the whole of Dreamgirls and agree with you 100%. It’s basically what Motown would have sounded like if you replaced Berry Gordy with Walt Disney.

[...] I agree with Daryl – it was a great ceremony with a lot of innovation. I enjoyed how the Oscar ceremony began – with [...]

I haven’t seen Dreamgirls, and the clips that were shown don’t make me want to, but those songs were surprisingly crappy and rote. If Motown had actually sounded like that, we wouldn’t be talking about it now.

Excellent show this year. Wonderful win by Marty and for The Departed.

Ellen was a great host and had some funny gags and jokes.

Funniest line of the night was by Robert Downey Jr. when he poked fun at his lifestyle in the mid-90’s.

Favorite line: “Valium works!” by Departed screenwriter William Monahan.

I was actually a little disappointed that Dreamgirls didn’t win Best Song, or rather, Inconvienent Truth took home the Oscar. It just seemed that the Academy’s support for the Al Gore documentary, although made commendable by Gore’s gracious and humble statesmanship, seemed to spill into other, less deserving categories. Not that Mellisa Etheridge was bad or that Beyonce was great, but against the likes of Jennifer Hudson and Randy Newman, I just didn’t buy it.

Second favorite line: “Here are five incredibly depressing films!” Jerry Seinfield when present Best Documentary.

It all seemed pretty predictable except for Alan Arkin winning for LMS. He was pretty funny, I do admit. Would have preferred if Greengrass won over Marty, but I think everyone knew it was Marty’s time. Actually, it was his time to win 26 years ago, but oh well

Since the Oscars was only broadcast on cable and satellite stations overseas, I wasn't able to watch it this year. I was glad to read that William Monahan, screenwriter of The Departed had the class and courtesy to thank Alan Mak and Felix Chong, the writers of Infernal Affairs. If it weren't for them and co-director Andrew Lau, there would have been no The Departed. The unofficial Oscar winner is Brad Gray, head of Paramount - Gray was a producer for The Departed, signed Scorsese to Paramount, Best Documentary for Paramount, and those Oscars will bring a little more money for Dreamgirls and Babel.
