I should have put money on this..

Holy crap! What a night. The Awards were actually exciting this year. I loved Jon Stewart but MAN some of his jokes died. Loved Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep improv-ing. Loved Reese's speech, loved the director from South Africa's speech. Loved that a rap group won the award for best song. LOVED Matt Dillon in a tuxedo. Loved George Clooney. Cuz, it's George Clooney. Loved that Crash won best screenplay and best film. Love that very few people expected that. I was actually at a party next door and had to leave because I was more interested in the speeches and presentations than the party. And next year, I'm putting money on my Oscar picks because I only got 6 wrong!! Here's my picks again, with the winners highlighted in red.
