Baldwin and Martin should have won an award: they made it fun! Second, it was apparent through the first

hour's worth of shots of Clooney: he's an asshole. He looked like his 'rhoids were killing him and then he started to make faces at the camera when it showed him. Churlish, childish and hardly expected in a major "star."
Whoever came up with the idea of having folks deliver lengthy encomiums right in front of the nominees should be boiled in oil. Embarrassing, tasteless.
Interesting that NO one here is speaking about "Precioius" or the Bollock film. Oh, wait... they are about blacks, aren't they? No racism here, nah, move along. Just a coincidence that best actress and best supporting actress featuring film is invisible....
2nd biggest idiot award goes to... the guy who starred in "Avatar." Chewing gum at the mike? What's he thinking?
Penelope Cruz proved she is THE smokingest babe in film. (A certain assistant that was very tall and dark-haired was surrealy beautiful, too).
It is amusing to see how wooden and nervous many "stars" get in front of their peers. Sean Penn, however, wasn't one of those. He was sincere, calm, and delivered his lines well as did Matt Damon.
All in all, a pretty good time.

Ummm, Tin, Clooney was in on the JOKE. It was a JOKE. A set-up.

I don't know Clooney personally but I know a couple people from KY in the news biz who do and he's the antithesis of the snotty ego-driven star.

I didn't see what you saw AT ALL. And I was watching on a 65" screen.
Clooney was messing around. I don't think you have to dig deep on that one. nt - free.ranger 10:42:30 03/08/10 (0)
I thought Clooney's scowl... - mkuller 09:47:40 03/08/10 (0)
...was set-up with Baldwin.

At the beginning, they were scowling at each other.
Way off on Clooney - Prisoners 08:22:46 03/08/10 (10)
I saw a guy who was playing along with the gags. He ALWAYS looks like he's having a good time, and in fact stepped off the red carpet in the rain to mingle with fans and sign autographs. He's a refreshing guy who knows how great a life he's having and never acts like the sour, spoiled, "star" that too many of his colleagues do.
Baba-Booey to you all!
- Agree with yer assessment of Clooney, also his date - Road Warior 10:20:34 03/08/10 (0)
  looked great even tho she had, what looked like at least, enough teeth for two mouths.
- Did you watch the Oscars, themselves? I'd say you didn't if you - tinear 09:24:58 03/08/10 (8)
  weren't aware of his scowling, mean-spirited, and angry countenance up until the near end.
  - I think there was a second scowler on the grassy knoll nt - Daryl Zero 11:42:23 03/08/10 (0)

    If this is what you are referring to I'm pretty sure he was going along with the joke.

      as clear a sign as you can get that it was a set-up.

***It is amusing to see how wooden and nervous many "stars" get in front of their peers.

Nothing is really amazing there any more... not since the invent of the TV. Most actors can't put two words together.

The best part of the show was the E channel, from I think 5 or 6pm, the red carpet part. There they truly show their colors, and listening to their **mostly** primitive speeches is a torture. Sure enough there are some who can speak, but those are in the minority.

But listen, saying you watch that show for awards is akin to buying Playboy for its articles.
