Last Night's Oscars...

Any thoughts?
 
 I believe it to be one of the better telecasts in recent years. Jon Stewart was pretty good.

Eh.  Stewart didn't do much for me....he seemed pretty detatched from the whole thing.  I watched about 90 min.....and then nighty night.

Ditto, on all comments.
 
 And let me add. Bring back Chris Rock.

So what leading role was George Clooney "supporting" in Syriana?

Ditto that.

Seems like the producers had a pretty tight leash on Jon Stewart to keep him from teeing off on all the self-important Hollywood types.  It has to be tough to make jokes in a room full of people who are incapable of laughing at themselves.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Isn't Jon Stewart himself "self-important"?
 
 I haven't seen him much, but he strikes me as such.

jon stewart's pretty self-deprecating always willing to poke fun at himself... you could tell the bits which he and his writers had a hand in and which were handed to him... i love the awe-shucks glimmer in stewarts eye which of course pure evil skwering lies behind.  clooney and foxx are probably the only safe targets as they themselves come as a bit humbled by the whole process.
 
 and brokeback mountain got the awards it deserved.. i personally thought Constant Gardener was better than it and Crash.  other than michelle williams, the acting was nothing to get worked up over.  kosmette has been raving about Hoffman's protrayal of Capote for months after seeing the movie on her own.  we've been meaning to see again in greenbelt for a couple weeks now...

I haven't really sensed that, at least as far as celebrities go.  He seems like a decent guy.
 
 Compare him to Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, etc...It's all relative I suppose.

Yup on both counts.  Constant Gardener was great.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Given that Constant Gardener wasn't nominated, what movie do you feel should have won best picture among those nominated?

i didn't watch the whole thing... but by far the best moment was when the guys from Wallace & Gromit came on stage complete with little bowties for the oscars..
 
 did anyone see the BAFTA's when they had the actor who does Wallace's voice come on stage when it won in the UK? that was way cool...

[kosmo vinyl]

well not having seen Capote or Munich... Good Night and Good Luck was more engaging than Crash
