80th Annual Academy Awards

Obeservations on the Oscar show:

The skinny women needs to pay attention to Alexandra Bryne, the costume design winner. That's what happens when you never eat and tan too much. You end up looking like that.
I don't really want to be reminded Barbra Streisand won an Oscar.
Ah, "Ratatouille." Pixar does it again. Sweet speech, Brad Bird.
"La Vie en Rose" wins for makeup. I was surprised "Sweeney Todd" wasn't nominated here.
If this "Happy Working Song" wins over the "Once" song, I am not going to be happy.
My kids are really ticked that "Transformers" did not win for visual effects. I am pleased that ads will not say tomorrow "OSCAR WINNER 'Transformers.'" And if it had won, Michael Bay would have never stopped talking about it. Although I liked The Rock's joke about the face-melting scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
Hell yeah, "Sweeney Todd!" It's just art direction, but it's cool.
Does Johnny Depp's girlfriend have a missing front tooth?
Javier Bardem - awesome! His speech is in Spanish! Who else could do that?
The Oscar salutes to binoculars and periscopes and bad dreams were funny. This is going well.
Wow, the bee in "Bee Movie" is on. The bee is happy for you, "Peter and the Wolf" people in the back row, whose names the announcer just mispronounced.
First surprise of the night! Tilda Swinton! I will never believe she was born a woman. She is giving a wonderful speech.
Jessica Alba was the Techie geek cover girl this year. That whole thing is pretty creepy.
Adapted Screenplay for the Coens. I called it!
Michael Bay sighting! Boooooo!
Miley Cyrus is more comfortable on that stage than anyone I have seen tonight, including Jon Stewart.
Another boring "Enchanted" song that had better not beat out the "Once" song.
The sound editing award goes to "People being punched by Matt Damon for two hours." Still no "Transformers" Oscars! YES!
Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are hysterically arguing over which of them is Halle Berry. Someone will write that this is undignified but these bits really save the show from being a complete bore.
And it's official. No "Transformers" Oscars. Thank God for Matt Damon, for more than one reason.
Second surprise of the night! Julie Christie gets beaten by the French chick, who is really beautiful.
Hee, Jon Stewart was playing Wii coming back from commercial. He said "am I supposed to be winded?" Well, probably not, but you aren't alone.
Woo! "Once"! Glen Hansard is wearing the exact same thing he wore to the Independent Spirit Awards. Marketa Irglova was wearing jeans last night, so she is not.
Boy, "The Bourne Ultimatum" is cleaning up.
Nicole Kidman IS pregnant, right?
Here is the third "Enchanted" song. Boy, this guy is boring. And is just me, or does the "Patrick Dempsey" dancer look a little like a Frankenstein? I guess these people didn't know there was more than one song in "Once."
Glen and Marketa won! Hooray! Glen was soo cool! They cut Marketa's mike! What the hell?! Then Jon Stewart says "Wow, that guy is so arrogant!" He brought Marketa back on, which is awesome.
I'm losing interest fast here. It was a nice touch to have the Iraq soldiers introduce the documentary short subject category, though.
If you ask me, Diablo Cody is way overdoing the cute girl trying to look bad thing. That tattoo is atrocious.
Man, we think today's stars dress weird. How about that Bette Davis? Was she wearing a giant Hershey's kiss as a hat?
Daniel Day Lewis bowed to Helen Mirren. And it was cute.
Way to go, Coens! "Henry Kissinger, Man on the Go" sounds awesome by the way.
And it's a wrap. "No Country for Old Men" continues the streak of ultra-violent Best Pictures, after last year's "The Departed."
