Well, I still can't get into chat for some reason. It's my computer, I'm sure. Anyway, I may just sit here and chat with myself. Feel free to jump in. I'm glad Hillary won. I thought she was awesome. I'm glad Sean Penn said something in defense of Jude Law. However, Chris Rock's comeback was cool. Loved it.

I didn't get to see the Aviator before tonight, but I did see Million Dollar Baby and couldn't imagine a much better movie. I'm so happy for all the winners connected with this movie.

I would have loved for Clint to have one for best actor, but not if he had to beat Jamie Foxx.

I'm really happy that Jamie Foxx won and I loved his acceptance speech. I had to run get a hankie, cuz he brought tears to my eyes.

All of us in chat passed around tissues at that, too, Azriel. Clint's speech was cute too -- his mom looked great!

The show was ok. Beyonce sang well. And often. Hilary Swank has got to get a grip. And lighten up already, woman, lol. Did Sean Penn have a couple of cocktails? He sure was out of joint over Jude Law. I think Jude can take a joke. He was in like a dozen movies last year! Rene Zelweiger(?) looked kinda weird. Like she's way too thin. And the dark hair makes her look older than she is. P. Diddy looked sharp. Samuel L. looked sharp. Al Pacino looked, well, like Al Pacino, lol. Loved Clint. Loved Jamie. I was kind of hoping T.H. Church would win, but thrilled for Morgan Freeman just the same. Cate Blanchett was beautiful. Annette Bening looked fabulous. Hilary Swank looked beautiful. Antonio Banderas and Santana were great. Glad The Incredibles did so well. I wonder why the broadcast ended 15ish minutes short? Someone's gettin' fired!

Yay Jamie Foxx! Chris Rock was a fine host. I'm betting Jude Law was not offended by Chris Rock's joke. If he's not a good sport then I'm not a fan. Tim Robbins wasn't offended when Chris joked that his politics were boring, and Sean Penn didn't defend Tim. I don't know if there is some inside joke I'm not getting, or if Sean Penn is just too sensitive or what. Renee Z's dress alone took up too much time. It seemed like five minutes while she walked across the stage. And I'm not sure if I like the new thing about presenting awards in the aisles. Most of us will never get near to this, but I guess I think everyone deserves their moment on stage.

Where I watched, much agreement. BORING. Boring speeches. Boring singing--too much Beyonce. And learn how to speak French next time you try to sing it. Please wear lipstick with some color next time, ladies! Vanessa Paradis was the only one with a visible mouth and she was gorgeous. Scarlett Johansson looked amazing. I don't care what anyone else says--Swank did not look good, but I'm not one of her fans (as Christina Crawford said to Joan in Mommie Dearest). Was she smuggling raisons? I would have kissed Prince's hand, too. Jude Law really didn't deserve the jokes--maybe have the cajones to dog an American star who's there next time. Technical people deserve to receive awards on stage too. One Josh Grobin song is really two too many. Please avoid lemon yellow and golden blonde hair, Ms. Blanchett. How much weight has Streisand gained? Halle looks amazing. I'm glad she went to the Razzies to accept her "honor" for Catwoman. She deserved it. It's too bad Annette Benning didn't win for a significantly better acting performance, but who knew Imelda Staunton looked so good in real life? And Benning looks great for her age. I want to know who administers her botox. Warren Beatty. Warren Beatty? Warren Beatty! Where's Shirley MacLain been anyhow? I think Oprah lost all the weight Streisand gained. Please stop it, George Pinnachio on KABC 7. I never knew Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayak were so great looking, but they are. Especially Cruz. Antonio Bandaras used to be so sexy, but now he needs to wash his hair. Happily, a Spanish film won Best Foreign Film, so Cruz and Bandaras are happy. Why do they flash the crowd for the "appropriate" ethnic group when they have a winner? It's so strange. I've loved you ever since "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down," Antoinio, but I don't any more. Please wish Melanie my best. Jon (John?) Stamos was going into the Elton John post-Oscar bash on channel 7 and I swear he's soo high it's making me ashamed for him. Mumble mumble mumble. Hope that new series works out well for you, John! OMG Natalie Portman! She's amazing looking, like the new Wynona Ryder, but more Zionist and without the Oxycontin and quasi-goth edges. I wonder whether they watch her when she shop's at Barney's on Wishire. She prolly goes to Fred Segal most of the time, though. Really. Beyonce real was really really bad. She might be the person who convinces France to declare war on us. I'm telling you. Chirac himself might don a uniform. THAT WAS THE WORST FRENCH SINGING EVER. But I loved her green-yellow eyeshadow on the first song. But she did it in French, for Pete's sake. Is Josh Grobin for people who think Clay Aiken is too hardcore? I really liked the visit to the Magic Johnson Theatre. Good chicken and waffles nearby. Gwyneth Paltrow is monochrome and it's unflattering. Did her hairdresser have the day off, too? Julia Roberts looks great, but still no lipstick. Everybody around me went into hiding when they heard about Andrew Lloyd Webber appearing. Drinks were spilled. I picked up a straw.

Jhezzie, I agree with just about everything you said that I skimmed. Chris Rock was boring. Not funny. I enjoyed the Bush Bashing but that was about it. The show is so tightly controlled, fear of Janet Jackson, fear of going over time, that it can't possibly be fun. I have never heard of a show ending 20 minutes early. I wish I had known about chat. Would have tried it. Message to Sean Penn: lighten up. I tend to agree with him over Chris Rock, and that was one of the more interesting unscripted exchanges, but ... hey, I already lost interest myself, LOL.

I thought it was odd that Jamie Foxx talked about his grandmother whipping him.

dustin definitely looked out of it big time i am so happy for MDB, Clint, Hillary and Morgan! and motorcycle diaries for winning best song - it deserved recognition. I liked Chris Rock, the tributes, and the realism in Jamie and Hillary's speech .... but most importantly i loved the people in chat!

Julieboo, I don't think he meant that literally. I took it to mean that his grandmother is the one who shaped his early childhood and made him what he is today - and when he stepped out of line, she was right there to 'whip' him into shape. I would think that if she really did hurt him physically, he wouldn't have the love for her that was so obvious last night in his speech.

Am I the only one who noticed the jewels on Beyonce when she sang the Phantom song? I can't find anything anywhere about them (i.e., how many carats and how many millions). This morning on GMA I heard that Chris Rock's line in rehearsal on Renee Zellweger was that she was gaining 80 lbs. to portray Star Jones. Doncha know The View would have been a very interesting show today.

I have no doubt that Jamie Foxx was serious about his grandmother whipping him and that he appreciates every one he got. And that is why he loves her so much. Terrell is a relatively small rural East Texas town where there is probably still alot of whipping going on.

I think he was serious too. I remember when discipline (even occasional spanking) was considered a good thing! I am sure he appreciates the guidance and the love he got from her and realized this wasn't abuse. but, back to the Oscars. I wasn't bowled over by Chris Rock. I thought he had a few funny lines, but other than that, didn't feel like he lived up to the hype. I did like his jab how silly it was that some winners had to stand in the aisle to accept their award. I heard that Minnie Driver was devastated that they univited her to sing her song from Phantom. I still don't understand why the academy overlooks Scorcese every time.

I came away from the experience quite disappointed. I really like Chris Rock, but expected much more from him...like actually being funny. His performance was every bit as disappointing as David Lettermen's. I thought it fell flat in many places. I didn't particularly care for the way he dissed Nicole Kidman, or saying that if you want Tom Cruise don't call Jude Law. Some of those comparison's were warranted...but not that one. Those kind of comparison jokes only work when there is an obvious and exaggerated difference. I am glad that Sean Penn, who has never been one to hold back his opinions spoke up. I for one appreciated it. He said what I felt. It was uncalled for. In Hollywood where your reputation is EVERYTHING...comments like that shouldn't be allowed to stand. Chris Rock owes Jude Law a HUGE apology. His joke about Oprah's being so rich that he saw John Kerry proposing to her an hour before the show...was again not only unfunny, but forced. Chris Rock is SO much better than this! Note to future comedians who host the Oscar's. No Oprah jokes...they don't work! I just learned that the bit about the tape on Robin Williams mouth was because Robin had been censored and told he couldn't do some of his jokes...like Olive Oyl being Anorexic. I had a very serious problem with Beyonce singing every other song. Minnie Driver should have been there to sing her song...and Josh Groban didn't need her help. I don't think the boys choir did either. I am not a Beyonce fan...but I would say the same thing if anyone else would had been given those same assignments. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the songs selected this year. Music has been in a funk for quite a while now. But I liked when they had the original artists singing the songs. Others don't seem to do them justice. And what was with Oprah being in so many shots. Just what was she doing there anyway? For being an invited guest, with no official purpose (unless I missed something which is very possible)...she sure had good seats. Someone really needs to coach Hillary Swank on her acceptance speeches. There is a point when you step over the line...and she's been doing it a lot lately. Take a lesson from Clint and Morgan Freeman...show some class. You can thank all those people tomorrow. Jamie Foxx's speech regarding his grandmother, could have been better. I get the feeling when he sees this, he is going to be disappointed in himself. I saw him speak about his grandmother on Inside the Actor's Studio. He brought me to tears. She deserved better, and I know he knows this. This is one time, when I think he's going to be aching for a "do over". His message didn't convey his feelings. I felt bad for him. I wasn't happy that a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson was included in the farewell montage, but none for Sandra Dee.

I thought Chris Rock stunk. His comments were over the top, mean spirited, and unfunny. By no means is Jude Law considered a B actor these days! Bring back Billy Crystal. I always thought he was the best. I agree that there was no reason Beyonce had to sing all of the songs (and it did sound like she butchered the French). I can't believe they didn't ask Minnie Driver to sing. It was very strange to me that Emily stood there while Beyonce sang. I am glad that Jamie Fox won but didn't think his comments on his grandmother whipping him made him turn out OK were appropriate. These days those actions are discouraged, particularly with all of the rampant child abuse. I really wanted Martin Scorsese to win for best director. The Aviator was so much more difficult to direct than Million Dollar Baby, IMO. Then to seat him BEHIND Alan Alda was beyond belief.
