Oscar highlights

I loved when Jon Stewart watched Lawrence of Arabia on his cell phone! Hilarious. Many great jokes as well.

Loved all the acting speeches. All four acting awards went to non-Americans. Hmmm. (It seems to me that non-Americans have won all four in the recent past, but I couldn't find an example at the oscar.com website.)

Loved that Czech musician Marketa Irglova got to come out after the break and give her acceptance speech which had been unfairly cut off by the orchestra (she's 19 years old - so poised!)

Loved Anne Hathaway and Steve Carrell presenting the Animated Feature award, and of course Seinfeld as the bee. Loved when the soldiers in Baghdad gave the award for Documentary Short.

Loved Kelly Preston's dress and Amy Adams' and Jessica Alba's and Helen Mirren's and Renee Zellweger's and Hilary Swank's and Katherine Heigl's. Not so crazy for Marion Cotillard's or Kerri Russell's or Cameron Diaz's or Jennifer Hudson's or Jennifer Garner's or Penelope Cruz's or Ellen Page's or Nicole Kidman's. And I totally don't get the ponytail as the in hairstyle - all those stylists and that's what they come up with - women who look like they just left the gym. Make an effort, for goodness sake.

I thought Javier Bardem looked amazing (and a bit like Robert Downey Jr) and of course George Clooney and of course Patrick Dempsey, and Daniel Day-Lewis and Colin Farrell (I'm a complete sucker for long hair).
