Was very pleased to see real glamour return to Hollywood! So beautiful, graceful, classy were Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendez, Demi Moore… BRAVO ladies. JLo and Bionce however, should forgo the tight fitting, revealing, flashy dresses. They don't have the figure for it and the public and fashion critiques should be honest about it.

Thanks Ropeofsilicon for all the great blogging. Even though I got to watch the live broadcast, your blog, Brad, was a nice addition! I was very happy about the results – except for Best Picture (Drama). I mean, Slumdog Millionaire was brilliant – but there is no way it was better than Revolutionary Road (my pick for best Picture). Also, why the hell wasn't Gran Torino nominated for Best Picture? or Eastwood for Actor? Makes no sense.

Great broadcast – kudos to Mickey Rourke for his phenomenal comeback (the greatest of the decade). Also, could someone please let Ricky Gervais host the Oscars, Globes, Emmy's or some award show? His comments were actually funny. Instead, the Academy chose…..Hugh Jackman? The guy is eye-candy…not host-material.

For a second there I thought my comp was screwing up!

CONGRATULATIONS KATEEEE!
I'M SOOOO HAPPY FOR HER! That was very unexpected….I thought Meryl would get it?? Still, she truly does deserve it. I bet she's eccstatic. From what I've heard she's crying again. :( Poor darling. Too many awards in one night – she's not used to the attention lol…

Go Kate!

I'm soooooooooooooo happy for Kate Winslet! She's just amazing, and it's time for the Academy to acknowledge her great talent as an actress. Congrats Kate!

Congrats to Danny Boyle! Fingers crossed for the Oscars! Actually I'm hoping Slumdog will take the Best Picture Oscar at the very least in case Fincher takes the Best Director.

I love the Colin Farrell pick. Maybe it might be Best Comedy and maybe some Academy love? No doubt it.

I think they could've waited 10 more years with Spielberg once he had managed to direct at least ONE more classic and 3/4 commercially successful garbage. Someone like Sidney Lumet seemed more fitting to me.

Oh! Also, I'm accessing this site via my cell phone, so the videos are unavailable to me. I'm just curious about which scene from Burn After Reading you chose as your favorite. My favorite was when Brad and Frances are talking to Osbourne Cox on the phone.

Fleur in California they have the one hour Golden Globe Red Carpet Special….the show still isn't one yet. Thanks to Brad I won't have to watch it. His blog is far more interesting, succinct and entertaining

@Nat: Best Drama Picture is the last one to be announced, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait quite a long time

Reading and constantly refreshing from Huntsville, Alabama!

Watching, I'm still astonished at the lack of recognition for Milk.
