It never got off the ground for me. I went to bed about 9:30.The MC was terrible. When his jokes landed on the floor, he begs for recognition. Comics 101, when a joke is flat, move on to the next quickly. D-
Most of the nominated movies were chick flicks or lousy. I think this was a year of race to the bottom.
KK was just plain a bad film with maybe 15 minutes of real action. Seriously, they could have pulled an hour out of it and it would have been a better movie.
"Good Night" was excellent. My movie of the year.
Crash, I have to see it, but it looks like an issue movie more than anything else. I don't have my hopes up.
BM, just cannot generate any desire to see it. I do wonder how much is good film versus issue.
Munich - watched it on TV live and just don't want to do it again. Again, how much is issue versus a good movie.
Geisha: Cannot generate interest. I feel like I have seen the whole thing in trailers.
Selma! Yes, I would go out with her in a moment. Wow!
Keira, too young for me, sorry. She looks like a child in my heart. They sure can dress you up though. And extra point for looking like you are just enjoying the show and don't care.
Cloony. Yeah a lot of people are getting on his case for mugging the camera. But I thought it great he looked like he was having fun and just playing around. Looks like a fun guy.
Jennifer. Time to take a year off. You look worn and synical. Time to re-evaluate your life and what to do. Do something like USO shows or some respect gaining thing. And your nose is about as plastic and MJs.
Reese, you seem down to earth, I am actually glad you won. Do more serious stuff.
E! OK job on the red carpet. Not as good as the mother/daughter team whose names are around here somewhere. As much I as want to hate Ryan Seacrest, he seems like a nice guy and intelligent. You hear him put two (count em, two) three syllable words in one sentence?
The Pimp song was amazingly bad and one really has to wonder what prompted that win. Something was fixed somewhere.
Best moment, first 30 seconds with all the old hosts declining.
Worst moments I: the second 30 seconds when John whatever dropped 20 unfunny jokes in a row, that has to be a record for falling flat in the shortest amount of time.
Worst moments II: Pimp Song.
Worst moments III: When CBS(?) took over the red carpet 30 minutes before the show. kerplunk! went the momentum.
Worst moments IV: no memorable speeches.
Worst moments V: Watts dress.
Streep and Tomlin. 60 seconds too long. Good skit gone sour on time. But for a good cause.
Good moment: Kidman. I generally have not liked her in the past, but she just gets better and better and it looks like I will have to move my prejudices around again.
Farrell: How on earth did you ever make a movie? I cannot believe they let you in to any Hwood show. Something is fixed here also. this guy is talentless.

Follow Ups:
Sorry, I missed most of that, but a few points...Selma I could do without. She never excited me, so I am trully at a loss why all this hoopla. I thought there were some much more attractive ladies there.
That pimp song was, I suspect, not a fluke, but a set stage for next oscars. As disgusting and dumb as that act was, it was carefully planned. I suspect next year we will see some strange color ribbons, calling attention to pimps' hard life, their "normal" lifestyle and the cruel society's refusal to accept them.
Keira should never smile - it makes her face look like a laxative is suddenly acting. She should simply look mysterious and serious... then whe does well in a nice dress. Not an actress by any stretch of imagination, but a reasonable Hollywood startel with three year half life.
BTW - did the host really say Holly Crap, or it was just my imagination?
I think I hear the Holy crap. I have teens so crap is said almost every sentence.Agree about Kiera. tick tick tick. One bad movie and she is out. Two more pounds and she is out. A couple of dates with Tom Cruise and she is out. Poor thing has a mine field in front of her.
As for the pimp song, I think someone looked at the show line up and thought it too white, so they dumped a bunch of votes into the box.
Kiera Knightly was wonderful! The eggplant gown and beautiful body screamed Hollywood glamour from the 30s.Another glamour girl. Michelle Williams (Miss Mustard), who played Alma, Heath Ledger's (Ennis's) wife in Brokeback. As I understand the story, Ledger and Williams fell in love on the set, and had a love child--a girl in October, 05. They are not married..yet, however.
To quote Jack and Ennis
Ennis Del Mar: This is a one-shot thing we got goin' on here.
Jack Twist: It's nobody's business but ours.
Ennis Del Mar: You know I ain't queer.
Jack Twist: Me neither.In the case of Ennis at least, truer words were never spoken!
Next Up: Heath Ledger redeems his career and proves he is straight (if anyone didn't believe the dialog above) as the star of the new movie "Casanova"
I like the host's dry sense of humor.But the whole show was rather lifeless and boring until Three 6 Mafia rocked the house.
And they had absolutely no chance to win, so they were thrilled.
As the host said, that's how you should accept an Oscar.
And then he made another dry joke that I thought was hilarious, something like there's nothing to illustrate the difficulty of being a pimp like an interpretative dance.
