He's a great ad-libber. There just wasn't much to work with this year, I think. He just seemed more concerned with congratulating people this year than last time he hosted. Maybe because he took a lot of heat for being too funny at the expense of the celebs previously. Anything beats Ellen. I disagree about Jon Stewart. He’s a great ad-libber.

I mean, it may be a brilliant, incredibly funny cartoon about a cooking rat, but its still a cartoon about a cooking rat against a film with actual meaning beyond "be yourself! objectivism is cool!", and I'm saying this as probably the biggest cartoon dork I know. even though Ratatouille is perhaps my favorite Pixar film, I still think Persepolis should have won.

She'll know better for next time. I tape the Oscars and then fast forward through the whole thing, stopping only to catch a few of the funny bits and some of the acceptance speeches. Takes about 20 minutes. I'm A-OK with the Bros Coen NOT declaring themselves Kings of the World, though they are the kings of my movie-lovin' heart.

I'm a gal (an old one, but still ...) and I enjoy these posts. I'm about as fashion-handicapped as Heidi (^_^), but it's still fun. And the Oscar ceremony itself was so boring, what else is there to talk about anyway? And this is Heidi's blog, she gets to post whatever she wants. All y’all (so far) are guys.

Don't get too excited, don't stick your head out too far, etc. Diablo Cody is the exception that proves the rule.
