Oscar thoughts

If you wander this blog with any regularity, you should be familiar with my crush on Jon Stewart, so of course I was thrilled that he would be hosting the Oscars this year.

I still think he's super adorable and smart, but obviously the writers didn't have enough time post-strike to really provide the fun and charm that makes him special (not that I don't think that he's not special on his own, but...)

I thought that he was fine. He said a few funny things and I really liked when he brought the songwriter back on stage to finish saying her thank you's after the orchestra cut her off. That was sweet (and the movie - Once - was pretty good too).

I was really happy that the French lady from La Vie en Rose won for best actress - she did a great job on that flick. If you haven't seen it yet, you should rent it asap.

Other than that, nothing particularly outstanding - I thought that the musical numbers were particularly boring this year (but they always are).

And, Cameron Diaz's hair? It's the Oscars! That's what I do to my hair when I'm rushing to work. Odd...
