- the Huge sweaty pits of Denamrk winner of best Foreign Film.
- Kirk Douglas stroked out and talking gibberish.
- Melissa Leo's speech.
- self important laundru lists of agents and managers and publicists.
- boring laconic British speeches.
- Anne Hathaway's song and flub.
- James Franco's whole 'over it' attitude only 1/3 of the way into the show.
- The Female to Male tranny for sound.
- the entire gd show.

Yeah, where did Franco go, outside to smoke up?

Hathaway's flub? What was that? I fast forwarded through that part. Any singing usually gets the FF button unless it is really funny.

Melissa Leo and Kirk Douglas make the most awkward couple ever.

At least British voices sound nice, so when they go on...it doesn't sound as bad. :)

The Female to Male tranny for sound? Not even sure that is...again, like Hathaway's flub, I will have to have to explained to me!

None of the speeches were inspirational or funny. Randy Newman did give it a shot, though.

James Franco & Anne Hathaway pointing out their moms and saying hi to them, the audience applauding, THEN the moms getting up to say a few scripted lines?? WTF? I was like, 'Really? Are you kidding me?' Lame and just embarrassing.

Lora Hirschberg is lesbian, not transsexual. You're right about almost everything else (come on, is the first one that big of a deal?).

Those bothered you but you had no objection to Christian Bale inserting an ad into his acceptance speech?

[–] Punctuality 13 years ago

What was his ad? I heard his speech but don't remember that bit.
