Here comes Nicole to settle the question of who will win Best Actor. She looks really wonderful. I really really want Johnny Depp to win. Ben Kingsley is great, but he’s already got an Oscar, moving on… Jude Law, eh, I still see him as the plastic robot in AI… Bill Murray, he was really great, if it can’t be Johnny, I’d gladly take Bill. Sean Penn, he’ll probably win, meh. Too depressing. I’m tired of such serious roles always winning. Give it to the pirate with eyeliner!!! Damn, Sean Penn wins. That was so a make-up Oscar from other movies. He makes a WMD joke. Meh. Keep showing me Johnny Depp. I hate people who don’t write speeches. Hello, you have a 1 in 5 shot. Aww, he thanks his wife, Robin, Buttercup.
LAST AWARD…
Spielberg gets the Indy theme. So very cool.
Just give Peter Jackson the award!
The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King
A Clean Sweep! 11 Academy Awards!!! Ties Titanic and Ben-Hur for most Oscars!!! The first fantasy film to ever win!!!
Thank you, New Zealand!
Way to thank the fans!

“What happens at the Oscars, stays at the Oscars”
All the winners come out on stage and we’re done. Time is 11:10pm making it 3 hours and 40 minutes.
Billy should just be required to host forever and always.
A good show, literally no surprises. That hasn’t happened in a long time, but I’m ok since LOTR got everything it was nominated for!
Thank you and good night.
The last 4 awards still remain. It should be two more for LOTR, one for Charlize Theron and then who will get that pesky Best Actor award? Will it be Sean Penn, will there be no upsets at all this year or will Johnny Depp get to surprise us all?
Here comes Tom Cruise to give us Directing. Interesting, I’d heard earlier that Steven Spielberg would be giving this since last year’s winner, Roman Polanski, couldn’t be there, what with that pesky outstanding warrant for his arrest.
Peter Jackson wins! #10!! Finally!! Seriously, he deserved it the last 3 years.
Bucking the trend, he doesn’t thank himself.
Adrian “Don’t Kiss the Girls this Year” Brody reads the names for Actress in a leading role. Keisha Castle-Hughes is so cute. I must see Whale Rider.
Adrian spritzes with a little breath freshener…
And in keeping with the trend of the favorites winning, Charlize wins.
Adrian gets a little kiss.
Charlize thanks a gob of people “every single person who worked on this film.”
I hate when people thank their agents and lawyers. I love that the crowd laughs when she said that her lawyer was her friend. And she thanks everyone in South Africa. She gets to her mom and breaks down. But no! she will not cry. Such a trooper.
Oh get on with it, enough with the commercials.
Oh, Steven Spielberg is giving best picture. Excellent, you can never have too much Spielberg.
Sophia and Francis Ford Coppala come out to give tells us Adapted Screenplay, ah the “family business” joke. LOTR:TROK picks up number 9! Dude!! Its going to win everything its nominated for!!!
10:31pm : PJTC = 13
Peter Jackson finally gets to speak. Look at the hobbitsess…
Toby McGuire introduces Seabiscuit. I still need to see this, great book.
Things are moving along now. Susan and Tim show up. Her dress is a little bit ripped for my taste. They give us Original Screenplay. I hope Lost in Translation wins. And it does! She makes the Coppola’s the second three-generation Oscar winning family. The first was the Houston family.
More breaks.
