I just saw a pathetic performance by Bay Once. She can't sing. She looked good, but Aretha could have done a better job.

That set is gorgeous! I have never seen as many LCD screens, even on the ceiling. Super cool.

PSIP- I agree. It just seemed off to me too.

Thanks Hal, I'm glad it wasn't just me. I guess since we listen to B.Com and that song is frequently requested, were pretty familiar with it.

Supporting Actress

The overwhelmingly beautiful Cate Blanchett gets the bald dude.

0 for 2

[zlosin]

She sure is beautiful.

That was a really nice tribute to Johnny Carson, I wasn't expecting that. Pleasant supprise. He was a class act.

[hal 9000]

Yes I thought it was pretty cool. Carson was one of a kind.

How do you think Chris Rock is doing?

I like his job so far. Hopefully they will ask him back.

Best Screenplay: Adaption

Sideways scores the win.

0 for 3

Man, am I good or what? :p

[zlosin]

Ok, Maybe its just me, BUT, Bay Once sounds like a bad wheel bearing. She can't keep pitch, nor does she have any understanding of the score. I am not going to watch any more of her ( but I did like the hooker eye makeup).

Oh, and the audio mix was awful. I saw a 12ft. concert grand but never heard one plunk from it.

Rock is surprising me. Not bad

Best commercial was the Pepsi/Spartacus. It was a little disrespectful, but pretty clever.

I am still blown away by that set and all of those LCD monitors and the digital feeds. Amazing.

"academy awards" what academy? does this have to do with Brahms' Academic Festival Overture?

[OperaTenor]

Here's how out of it I am......

There's someone named "Bay Once"?!

And he/she/it/they supposedly sings?!!

[bignaf]

I think it's a she and her name is Beyonce. I'm not going to google to find out.

[Serenity]

Although she sings, Beyonce is better known for her rack.

I wish it did.

OT, she pronounces it bee-on-say but the way its spelled it looks like bay once. And she sounds like she is baying many times.

who ever at coca cola approved that comm. with Karen Carpenter singing and advertising bottled water should be shot!
