Normally I abhor it, but Daniel Day lewis was so good in There Will be Blood I was hoping he'd win. I wanted Ellen Paige to grab the win for Juno...but figured she wouldnt. Jon Stewart was refreshing...but no Billy Crystal! =)

I hear you.. that was the only reason I watched it also, was for Daniel Day Lewis.. He was great in that movie! It was cool that the writer for Juno won too, I thought..

I saw highlights this morning. Helen Mirren looked as stunning as always and I swooned slightly at George Clooney. And what was the deal with Gary Busey (s/p?) He was behaving weird when Seacrest was interviewing Laura Linney and Jennifer Garner on the red carpet

I was actually flipping back and forth between Deuce Bigalow and the Oscars. Sad.

Helen Mirren looked gorgeous! It's so hard to believe that she's in her late 60's. I loved all the women in the red dresses! And that was just weird about Gary Busey.. I was in the other room, and missed what happened, as I came back in, and Jennifer Garner was saying something about being kissed on the neck by him??

I actually watched them from beginning to end which is rare for me. The best moment for me was the winners for Best Original Song. I don't know their names but what a great moment for them to win on such a low budget ($100,000) film. They probably never expected any award let alone an Oscar and their gratitude and pure joy in winning made my evening. Kudos to the Oscar folks for allowing the girl to come back and give her speech after they cut the mic on her before she had a chance for her thanks. I don't think I had ever heard applause for that category the way the audience applauded their win last night. It was a great moment for them.

Helen Mirren is 62. I think she's fabulous!

Oh is she? John was saying he thought she was 67.. At any rate, she is fabulous! She really looked gorgeous last night!

I must have missed this one.. I did see some of the musical numbers though..It's nice to know that other people have a chance to win besides the "big money" people! Good for them!
