Originally Posted By lesmisfan i thought the show was really nice this year. I like that alot of people that recieved awards was their first time getting it. I was so pulling for johnny depp for best actor since he has been snuffed by the academy a couple of other times and thought for sure he would win but as i thought daniel day lewis won that. Happy that ratouttie won for best animated film and even sweeney todd got an award for art direction!!! Overall i am very pleased this year with the ceremony. i loved it when john got the other half of the duo who won for best song since she didn't get to say her thank yous. very nice.

It's the most--and I say this very deliberately--like Orson Welles I've ever seen.
Originally Posted By Ursula Well, I WOULD be shaving my head right now, but since my so-called LP friends just SKIMMED right over my categories, I'll not give them the pleasure... Harrumpph! And it is still strange when your friends win Oscars.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling <<^ Oh, ya heard that, didja?>> LOL! I heard it too, Ursula! I was so excited for you! I was about to post a big hooray but then I stopped because I couldn't remember if you cared if that kinda "personal" stuff got posted or not and I didn't want to chance it. The kids were watching with me and I told them though so I guess you *do* have to shave your head after all!
