I thought Chris Rock was went to far, but that is just me. I prefer stuff like Bill Crosby or Seinfeld, Elaine Degeneras etc. I never cared for put-down humor. HATED Don Rickles. (anyone old enough to remember him ) I wish that the original singers sang the songs for best song other than Beyonce. I like her but I really didn't connect with the songs when she sang them. HATED the Aisle presentations. But loved Chris Rocks joke about "Drive Thru Oscar Window" Hooray for Morgan Freeman. One of my favorite Actors. Way underrated in my opinion. Nice to see him shine. I remember him from the Electric Company All in All - I read a book until an award I wanted to see came on then I stopped, watched, and went back to my reading.

NT, I caught a little bit of the Today show this morning and Katie interviewed Beyonce briefly (with her Katie Cam) at the Vanity Fair party. She asked if the necklace was real and Beyonce said something about no, it's the one from the movie... or something like that.

Essence, thanks. I didn't remember it from Phantom, which by the way I am really disappointed did not get more recognition than it did.

The necklace was suppose to represent the chandelier which is the most famous part of the stage play. Even tho I don't care for "Believe", it does sound a lot better when Josh Groban sings it by himself.

I was just looking at red carpet pics and I really like Hilary Swank's dress, the Titanic girl(can't think of her name right now), and Natalie Portman's dress.

Vsmart, I felt the same way. I don't know why Beyonce sang with him.

Mo - I loved Swank's dress when I saw it!!! I wish I had the body to pull that off. And Titanic girl is Kate Winslet or something like that.

I thought Kate Winslet looked gorgeous!! She gets prettier every time I see her. I thought Beyonce's red carpet dress was just stunning. I think she is an incredible young lady. Didn't much care for Renee Z's black hair.

EEK! She's totally white in that picture. The short dark hair with the stark white skin and bright red dress -- not a good combo! Good thing she's not standing next to Mike Meyers who looked completely orange from fake tanning stuff.

From Entertainment Weekly..... Host With the Most Chris Rock Anyone who doesn't think first-time emcee Chris Rock deserves an automatic five-year Oscar contract should try imagining this year's snoozefest hosted by, say, Billy Crystal. (Now there's something for Matt Drudge to get scared about.) Rock's hilarious opening monologue set the freewheeling tone for the evening: He joked about sending Cuba Gooding Jr. sympathy money after watching Boat Trip and said that Nicole Kidman deserved an Emmy for smiling broadly while Halle Berry took home the 2001 Best Actress trophy. And he kept the laughs coming right to the telecast's end. Best Dresses Beyoncé Okay, those three Beyoncé numbers weren't exactly ''Crazy in Love'' (or, heck, even ''Soldier''), so it would be a stretch to say that the Ms. Knowles-as-Oscar Diva experiment worked. But as for her outfits — watch out! From an orange-and-green halter dress to a gigantic diamond collar accessorized by none other than the Phantom of the Opera to a sparkly silver gown, Beyoncé gave us a feast for the eyes (if not the ears) — not to mention a distraction from that freaky monkey statue atop Andrew Lloyd Webber's piano. Most Surprising Chemistry Pierce Brosnan and Edna Mode The Academy Awards don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to making live actors frolic with fictional characters. (Anyone remember poor Rob Lowe serenading Snow White with ''Proud Mary'' back in 1989?) So a big huzzah to Pierce Brosnan and The Incredibles' Edna Mode (voiced by the film's director, Brad Bird) for scoring genuine laughs — Edna referred to actors as ''models'' — while doling out the trophy for Best Costume Design. Biggest Killjoy Sean Penn Just because Sean Penn didn't like Chris Rock's jokes about the ubiquitous Jude Law doesn't mean he had to punish the rest of us. Did he really need to interrupt his presentation of the Best Actress statue to inform the audience that Law is ''one of our finest actors''? For the record, Sean, those hulking guys weren't actually Rock's ''accountants''; that was a joke too. Best Deja Vu Moment Jamie Foxx Jamie Foxx's Best Actor acceptance speech hit all the right notes — opening with a call-and-response snippet of Ray Charles' ''What'd I Say,'' offering heartfelt thank-yous to director Taylor Hackford and Foxx's managers, and ending with a tearful tribute to his late grandmother. Just one thing: Wasn't it pretty much a carbon copy of his more moving Golden Globes podium moment? Most Awkward Moments Time-Saving Award Techniques Note to Oscar producers: We're all for a shorter telecast, but when you've got three-plus hours to dole out 24 statuettes (and two honorary awards), don't make the victors have their moments of glory in the middle of an aisle or line up nominees pageant-style before announcing the winners. Everyone deserves their walk to the podium — even if they'll only have time to thank two of their lawyers by the time they get up there. Phantom of the Kodak Theatre Award Jeremy Irons When a gunshot-like bang interrupted his presentation of the Best Live Action Short Oscar to Andrea Arnold (pictured), Jeremy Irons quipped, ''I hope they missed.'' What was up with all the loud thuds, missing mics, and wobbly camerawork on this year's telecast? It's almost as if some masked character were trying to sabotage the Academy's big night as payback for a lack of major nominations... Jack Nicholson Stand-In Award Dustin Hoffman What? Nicholson's a no-show? Who're we gonna cut to for amusing Old-Guard Hollywood reaction shots? What about Dustin Hoffman? The guy's white-hot again after that Fockers flick! Yeah, definitely Hoffman! Worst Pinch-Hitters Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana If you watched Antonio Banderas and Carlos Santana's overwrought interpretation of ''Al Otro Lado del Rio'' and thought, ''How the heck did this song get nominated?'' you were apparently not alone. Accepting his trophy for Best Song, winning singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler skipped the standard litany of gratitude and instead opted to sing a few bars of his quiet folk tune — the way it was meant to be heard. Strangest Mash-Up Hilary Swank What do you get when you take Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most famous speech and weld it to a super-hokey Julia Roberts monologue from Notting Hill? Probably something like Best Actress winner Hilary Swank's acceptance speech, which included the words ''I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream.'' Still, let's cut Swank some slack: With two Oscars on her mantel at the tender age of 30, she can get away with a little mad-libbing from the podium. http://www.ew.com/ew/package/0,12938,1013725_1_0_,00.html

Good article. I thought it was funny some writer mentioned Chris made fun of Tim Robbins,but Sean didn't stand up for him. What about Colin Farrel,nobody loves him? Lol,I love Sean as an actor,but he can be such a party pooper.

Hip, maybe Sean felt he had to defend Jude since they are presently filming together, lol. First thing over coffee, "Man, I tried to defend you!"

I love Sean Penn's acting, but his lack of sense of humor is tiring. Time to lighten up Sean! I found the musical numbers boring and didn't appreciate bringing in celebrities to sing songs sung by others in the movie. I liked the speeded up format (having the nominees on stage) but thought they should have done all the speeded up ones on the stage and not in the isle. I thought Chris Rock did a fine job. I think this year's show was boring becuase there was no suspense. I had hoped Marty would win but knew he wouldn't. If that had happened I probably would have loved the show. I thought Hilary went on too long thanking her lawyers and publicist. Please. Say something inspiring or entertaining, not just a list of names. Kate Winslet gets more beautiful all the time. Renee Z looks more scary all the time. And if you can't even walk in the dress wear something different!

The only times I remember Julia Roberts presenting at the Oscars, she seems to cling to the spotlight when it's time to step out of the way. First with Denzel Washington, "I love my life!" and then last night she had to make sure she was still in the camera as she annoyingly wiped her lipstick off Clint. I also don't appreciate her wishing one of her friends a happy birthday before she announces the nominations. If she had been nominated and then won, she could wish any and everybody a happy birthday. I found all that annoying. Other than that, I like the girl.

I wish they would have had the performers that sang the songs in the movie or soundtrack perform them on the awards show. I truly was not moved by any of them as they were sung last night. And I loved Chris Rock and Jamie Foxx ...
