the documentary catogorey was odd. no grizzly man. this is like last year when some kind of monster wasn't nominated. Also i heard this small documentary Favela Rising had a shot but I guess they didn't get it.

I am glad to see murderball up there. it should totally win over march of the penguins

And it's Crash for BP!

There's hope!!! They actually went for variety this time around, IMO.

I'm VERY surprised they even nominated Crash. Considering it hit theaters more than a year ago now, I figured it would've been long forgotten by the time noms came around, let alone win anything major. Kudos to the academy!

Just the one win? The Clooney was robbed.

This is the first Oscar awards in years that I felt like every Best Pic nom actually deserved to be there. Not a whole lot of surprises, except for Crash's upset over Brokeback Mountain, It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp winning best song (why were only 3 songs nominated, what happened to Alanis Morisette's song for Narnia?), and Gustavo Santaolalla beating out John Williams for Best Original Score.

I think Clooney's acceptance speech was the best one of the evening, he totally deserved it. In 50 years he'll definitely be remembered in the annals of classic Hollywood leading men right up there with Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable. I do wish Felicity Huffman would've won, she's great, but I'm not upset that Reese won, I like her a lot, she's also got that classic Hollywood look like Natalie Wood or Doris Day.

Best presenters? Definitely the Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep bit, they were friggin hilarious (even though they were presenting what was basically a pity Oscar to Robert Altman, whom the Academy has never seen fit to give him the credit he deserves with a real Oscar)!
