Oscars Wrap up

Well, Oscar night has come and gone. Here are some quick comments and highlights:

Jon Stewart as host was pretty funny.

The flashback montages prepared were amusing and, for the most part, were done in good taste, especially the Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau repartee about different types of directors.

Lifetime achievement recipient Robert F. Boyle is quite lucid for a 91 year-old

"Falling Down" from the film Once won best song. After getting cut off during co-winner Marketa Irglova's acceptance speech, she was allowed back after the commercial break to deliver a lovely and inspiring speech.

The Coen Brothers took home the Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Direction and Best Film.
