2007 Oscars Recap

And the loser is: Ellen. I fell asleep well before all the big awards, though perhaps something subliminal woke me up in time for the classy Helen Mirren.

The winners: Jack Black and Will Ferrel.

And the awards:
Best Picture - I guess Marty carries the day.
Best Actor - Correct.
Best Actress - See above.
Supporting Actor - Lesson learned. When an older actor mysteriously appears here despite having 6 lines that could have been done better by anyone who was still willing to act, suspect the worst.
Best Actress - Right again.
Best Director - I'm so tired of being right.

Nothing else matters.

On to the all important "Wish I Would Have Seen" List. It's longer this year.
