My Thoughts:
- Biggest shocker: Meryl Streep wins Best Actress for Doubt. Maybe that third Oscar isn't such a longshot after all. Streep herself was clearly surprised, judging by her hilarious arm-flailing run up to the podium.
- Tina Fey gives yet another fantastic acceptance speech, this time comically praising her young daughter's inspiration.
- Best Presenters: John Krasinski and Amy Poehler, who decided to be "dramatic" and got a (well deserved) explosion of applause.
- 30 Rock picks up Best Comedy Ensemble after losing last year.
- Why is Mad Men's Christina Hendricks so damn voluptuous? It's distracting (albeit in a good way).
- One of these days, I will see Penelope Cruz accept an award at a televised award show. One of these days...
- That's a really expensive bed sheet you're wearing, Angelina Jolie...
- Someone finally had the guts to comment on the SAG award's large, um...package (thanks Sean Penn. It needed to be said...really).
- Call the toll free number at the bottom of the website, and you can help feed Anthony Hopkins for only 1 dollar a month...
- As much as I love Slumdog Millionaire, I'm not sure it deserves any sort of recognition for its acting. The acting certainly isn't bad, but the characters are really there to support the story, unlike something like Frost/Nixon or Doubt, where the actors are put center stage.
- Josh Brolin seemed to be getting a lot of applause after his nominee clip was played. Is he Ledger's biggest threat to receiving the Oscar (if there even can be a threat)?
