I forgot to thank my agent

Well, that was interesting. Or was it?
While Jon Stewart did his best to keep the Oscar show moving, it still lasted three hours and 20 minutes. How that happened, I don't know - perhaps they could cut the comments of the president of the Academy? Does anyone ever not go pee during that two minutes? Still, the show was dependable, lacking in dumb gimmicks or experimental tactics (remember when they gave some awards from the aisle a few years ago?).

Here are more general thoughts:

YAY! If you're foreign born, you're gonna win an Oscar! All four acting winners - and a bunch more victors - were from outside the United States.

YAY! I would've been pissed if a song from Enchanted had triumphed over "Falling Slowly" from Once.

NAY! Can that Hanna Montana girl go away?

!!! I'd say Tilda Swinton was the most surprising winner. She looked shocked, or maybe that was her lack of makeup.

??? What drug in particular was Gary Busey on?

Who do you think should be host next year? Is Billy Crystal past his prime? Is everyone sick of Ellen? Should Whoopi make it five? We have almost a year to discuss it.
