Thanks to those who joined us last night as we live-blogged during the 81st Annual Academy Awards. It was a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG show but, we thought, good overall.
Especially nice was Hugh Jackman who did a great job as host - even though he bared no Wolverine claws. Not even when Sean Penn won instead of Mickey Rourke - a PERFECT opportunity if ever was one.
We also liked when the five prior winners of acting honors personally addressed the nominees. It was a great way to highlight all of them and make each feel like a winner. It took up a lot of time, but we think it was special.
FINAL OSCAR TALLY:
Slumdog Millionaire - 8
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - 3
The Dark Knight - 2
Feel free to revisit our live commentary in the post below. It'll be like you watched it with us. (To get the full effect, have your flask on standby.)
And as we said earlier, feel free to pass us on to your friends. If we aren't your cup of tea, e-mail your complaints to Sean.Penn@IreallyREALLYshouldn'thavewon.com.

Yeah, I thought wife beater Sean Penn braying about his politically correct/left wing politics was the highlight of the night.
Of course the lady in question looked like an obedient moll on the arm of a particularly nasty mafia enforcer.
It just goes to show you can dress up a t**d but you can't disguise the odor.
RE: S.
Agreed. I just find him to be so hypocritical and self-serving. at least "Slumdog" won, though...
