This is one of the best Oscar's I have seen in years. It's kind of amazing with budget cuts all over the place and the fact that viewership is down every year they were able to put together a great telecast.

And last years winner, Daniel Day Lewis, is not on hand to present. This one isn't as shocking because he tends to shun the spotlight.

Javier Bardem is dating Penelope Cruz so I would of thought he would of been there.

Yay, finally Kate won. :)

Pretty predictable overall, with the only surprise to me coming in the Foreign Film category. I thought Israel's Waltz with Bashir had it, but it went to Japan's Departures.

Good to see Slumdog Millionaire win Best Picture and cement its award season sweep.

And I did not like the way the acting categories were presented. I don't like to waste time. Just get to the winner and get it the hell over with.

    • And so it's Andre and Ashley again? Why don't they go ahead and make something bad happen between them? I don't trust the stereotypical vibe. I don't.
    • I guess neither Stephanie or Leo are ever going to investigate the gaping plot holes in the Bob-ette storyline.
    • I do love that the episode ended with Kat exclaiming when she was alone "Gotcha!"

      For real. Leslie is going to lock her up in a basement
    • It is amazing how everyone in GC just swaps partners and is instantly in love and their previous relationship never happened. All while everyone’s exes live in the same town and go to the exact same 4 places as each other.
    • No to Andre/Ashley. I'm not sensing any connection. Kat is playing a dangerous game going against Silk Press Sheila.
    • Today was definite a good episode day with surprising 1:1 scenes between Bill/Silk Press Sheila & SPS/Kat.  And the final long scene between SPS/Kat with the close ups and cliffhanger reminds me so much of old school P & G/Bell soaps. It fits since Judy Tate (script writer) wrote for P & G soaps for years and Zimmerman (breakdown writer) worked on both Bell soaps. I even liked the Ashley/Derek scenes only because it feels as if there is a point to the scenes (lead up to a break up perhaps).  Andre/Ashley having a scene tells me that the show is still testing them out.. and I think showing the growing disconnect between Derek/Ashley will eventually lead to the two possibly dating. NuTed.. he seems more humble and less boastful/confident than the previous Ted.  Perhaps the show felt the previous Ted couldn't play remorse/humble.. and they made the switch.  Time will tell. Lastly... it was a Dani free day

    • Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.
    • The finale peaked at 31.1 rating when Katherine hit Bobby with her car.
