An absolute joke of a set of awards.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were very funny, the dancing bit was out of place and silly (but nonetheless the skill of the performers was amazing), and most of the acceptance speeches seemed genuine. Jeff Bridges was a little odd though, maybe he really IS 'The Dude'. The John Hughes tribute was very well done too.
The winners were not surprising, but there's no doubt Best Actress is Meryl Streep. Not sure what happened there. In a fairly weak year for films the award show did well with what they had.
Baba-Booey to you all!
- Jeff Bridges has mentioned that he is closest to the Dude - PhilJ 06:43:13 03/09/10 (2)
  in real life (of all characters he has played).
  
  Part of my problem with the Oscars is that they give you one if your accumulated years have enough credentials, not for this years performance, so they gave one to Sandra Bullock IMO.
  
  thanks

    I agree with the first half of that, but not the second. I think they did give the Oscar for this years performance and that's why Sandra won. If they had given it based on accumulated years, Streep surely would have won ...after all, she's never won and has been nominated nine times.
    For the record, I think Streep is by far the better actress (doesn't everyone?) ...but I liked Bullock better in Blind Side than Streep in Julie & Julia.
    Just my 2-cents ...and worth half what you paid.

    - Streep has won acting Oscar *twice*. - Harmonia 19:09:18 03/17/10 (0)
      First for Supporting Actress in Kramer vs Kramer, then Best Actress for Sophie's Choice.
      
      Granted, neither film is a recent one, but win she did.
With notable exception of Ben Stiller the thing reaked. nt - geoffkait 06:25:49 03/08/10 (0)

Certainly not the best, and, the "big production number" sucked - Road Warrior 06:12:24 03/08/10 (0)
The dances to the theme song of each nominated movie were just plain lame, low budget, and uninspired. And sucked up about 10 minutes. As much as they're maligned, this effort makes me want to see the big budget production number back.

And while I'm on a roll, wtf has Neil Patrick Harris ever done movie wise? This guy comes out of the closet and he pops up all over the awards shows. His "singing" during the opening number was Laugh Out Loudable.
