Good show, though. Glad I watched.

Originally Posted By poohbear14 Not familiar with Rpbert Altman. I found the Tomlin-Streep bit annoying. Thought Stewart did an good job. Better than the Emmy's a few years back. Reese's gown was beautiful. Also loved Jessica Alba's gown.
Originally Posted By mele Yes, the stupid stuff this year was great! I like Robert Altman movies, I just want things to go a lot faster when I watch the Oscars. How many freakin' montages does one show need?
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Yep, poohbear! I hear ya, mele... Seemed like the first half went by real quick - of course that was when the show was most hilarious, too.
