2007 OSCAR SHOW discussion thread! (winners, losers, speeches, etc...)

I thought it was time for the actual show thread with the show about 4.5 hours away starting @ 8:30pm EST on ABC.

From the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Post your thoughts on the winners, the losers, the speeches, the host (John Stewart), pre-show, post-show, and anything and everything Oscar show related.

I'm glad the writers are back and hope they had sufficient time to make a good show. If the first scripted show coming back last night in SNL is any indication, the writers are back with a vengeance. I just thought last night's show was the best in years and credit the writers for coming back stronger than ever.

Did anyone see Gary Busey butt in to the interview w/ Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner?

A lot of these actors aren't quite as likeable as the characters they play.

George Clooney mentioned Batman & Robin!

Is Ellen Page Maggie Gyllenhaal's little sister? I've never thought that they really look all that much alike until just now on TV, wow.

Anyway, this should be an interesting show.

I can't wait to see Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova perform "Falling Slowly"!

So, anyone going to count the number of writer's strike jokes, political jabs, and Bush/Iraq bashes we get over the next four hours?

Ok, I'm about 15 minutes behind on my DVR, so I'm still watching the pre-show. I just though I'd point out Daniel Day-Lewis' interesting hoop earrings he is sporting tonight.

Amy Adams....
