Controversial song “It’s Hard out there for a pimp” by 36 mafia from “Hustle and Flow” wins for best original song!

John Stewart is doing a great job as Oscar host, and I love the fake political ads by Steven Colbert!

The Oscars, though, should be cut to a two hour show. The program is full of small categories and self-congratulatory clips and in jokes. They relegate the technical awards to a separate event, and they should also move most of the small awards to a different ceremony. It’s interesting to see the costume designers and special effects people get awards, and they should have their moment, but it’s just way too long to sit through.

I’m just feeling guilty for staying up this long to watch a bunch of filler. It’s too… long…
After about a half an hour the thrill of seeing all the celebrities in one room wears out. No wonder the ratings are getting lower every year.

While looking through the red carpet photo gallery at Yahoo! I came across this picture of a woman who clearly does not belong at the Oscars. Her look is so outrageous that I’m not sure whether she would frighten or entertain my child.

She is fashion and jewelry designer Zandra Rhodes. Why is it that fashion designers are the ones that dress the worst? They must be the type of people who think they actually look good, and they’re so sure of it they’ve made a career out of convincing other people to dress like idiots too.

Charlize Theron usually looks elegant and understated and her Oscar look is out of character. She’s wearing a monstrous green gown with a huge bow on her shoulder. With a little purse made out of the same fabric, bejewled shoes, bangle bracelets, and a bouffant hairdo, she just looks like she’s trying too hard.

There’s a fine line between looking the same all the time (Jennifer Aniston) and trying a radical new look that isn’t right for you.

Rachel Weisz has won best supporting actress for her role in The Constant Gardner.

It’s nearly 3:00 am here in snowy Switzerland and I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to stay up!

As Jennifer Aniston presents the Oscar for best costumes - why does she always look the same? Couldn’t she curl her hair or wear something other than black? She looks so boring.

There’s lots more to say, but it’s hard to keep up with everything and I’m half asleep.

George Clooney has won Best Supporting Actor for Syriana. He must have seen the instructional video, because his acceptance speech was funny, quick, and political without being controversial.

Jessica Alba glows as she arrives for the 78th annual Academy Awards.

Heath Williams and Michelle Ledger arrive at the 78th annual Oscar awards. Michelle is wearing a bold yellow v-neck dress and minimal accessories. She looks lovely and very well put together.

It’s clear that I don’t like Keira Knightly. She stinks of pretension. That’s why I’m pleased to announce that she’s wearing a poufy prom dress to the Oscars. Her hair is a mess, too.
