Oscar, oscar!

Oscars are done with and I was mostly pleased with the results. Helen Mirren looked dazzling and thank god Jennifer Hudson took off the ugly shrug inside the auditorium. I didn't like Nicole Kidman's neck bow thingy, no matter what the commentators said. The E! people had their own telestrator like football play by play. If you're going to play a fashionista, Meryl Streep, you'd think you'd look just a little more glam. The men mostly played it safe. I adored the tribute to the struggle of writing and the little choir of Mr. Foleys (What, Wenn fans? You weren't thinking that?), but there were a few too many montages and tributes and etcs. The show really dragged in places.
