That musical number was great! I love Hugh Jackman more and more... And Baz Lurhmann created that dance.

i have been enjoying hugh jackman's performances tonight. He's really injected a feeling of energy into the oscars that has been lacking for a long time, imo.

Beyonce and Amanda Seyfried where hooooot in their outfits, but I wanted to puke when Efron and Hudgens appeared. And I also laughed my ass of when Efron dropped his hat

Loved Hugh and Beyonce, but hated the couple from Mamma Mia.

It kinda slipped off his greasy hair

in fact i bet they do the in memoriam next, ending with heath's picture, leading into his award.

They included him in last year's in memoriam reel (I think they ended it with him, actually). Would they include him again this year? Personally, I don't think so.

I don't think he was in last year's. People made a big stink about it, until it was explained that the In Memoriam segment is reserved solely for those who passed away in the year prior to the current Academy Awards, not all those who passed away between shows.

Really? I could have sworn he was in there, and that the card before the montage listed a date in late January 2008 as the cutoff for inclusion (meaning that anyone who died after that wouldn't appear, but I believe Heath made the cut -- they probably did it just for him, actually).

Me either...but the hat dropping was pretty funny!

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

I didn't think about that Javier Bardem was up for it last year, now the other actor form NCFOM is nominated!

 

[Amaris]

Pretty funny by Cuba.

I would go see Shaft starring RBJ

 

[Mr. Adventure]

They should have got James Lipton to do these.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Man, Joel Grey is getting old.

Josh Brolin was great in Milk, but James Franco was even better and wasn't nominated.

Cuba Gooding Jr introducing Robert Downey Jr! SHAFT!!

Heath Ledger. I will be shocked if he doesn't win.

And he won. Oh, God, this is going to make me cry. His family is accepting it.
