Oscar thoughts
Well, my pick for Best Picture (There Will Be Blood) didn't win, but I was happy to see a serious, well-crafted, even deep film win. The awards ended up pretty well spread out, which was fitting in a strong year for films. Into The Wild was shut out, but that was pretty well preordained when it got so little love in the nominations. Silver lining: Hearing a producer of No Country thanking his partner and calling him "honey."
Good to see (and hear): The winning song from Once, and Marketa Iglova being allowed back on stage to give her speech.
Personification of class: Art director Robert F. Boyle, accepting an honorary Oscar at age 98 with a very sweet speech.
Disappointment: Edward Yang being left out of the tribute sequence.
Best concession prize: The Bourne Ultimatum sweeping the awards it was nominated for (Editing, Sound, and Sound Editing) even though it deserved better nominations.
Favorite part of the show: The shots of Paul Dano, who will probably look psycho to me for the rest of my life.
If Cate Blanchett Can Play Bob Dylan, Then Surely: Tilda Swinton can play David Bowie.
