The one with some fella called Oscar!

I always watch the Oscar's. I always fall asleep before Best Actor, Director and Best Picture. And I always wake up on the couch at some ungodly hour. In fact, for the best part I find the whole thing a bit long and tedious at times. That said, last night seemed to motor away quite nicley with Jon Stewart (and NO I'm not a fan of the Daily show) in the driving seat. He drove the Oscar mobile like there was somebody in the back about to give birth to triplets!

As usual, I get most of the predictions wrong, but this year I got a few right. Animated film, Best Actor, Song and Director(s). Im sure there were one or 2 more, but I fell asleep. Most importantly, its a great night for the Irish. Namely for Mr.Frames, Glen Hansard and Daniel Day Lewis. Check out their speeches....
