    Great list. Even though Scorsese got his for the wrong movie, its still nice to see him finally reconised. Maybe Lucas should CGI is own best directors gong, its only way he'll get one. LOL

    Facebook hadn't taken off by then? Maybe not for TF. The Marlon Brando one kind of made him a complete dick. Wasn't Littlefeather actually an actress?

    Another hilarious moment was when Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson came to present the Best short films awards. They were promoting Starsky & Hutch at the time. Cue the Starsky & Hutch theme. Stiller arrived dressed as Starsky and Wilson arrived with his tuxedo. -Stiller : (feeling ridiculous all of a sudden) :Why aren't you wearing your Hutch clothes? -Wilson : I don't know. I guess I found it a little bit shameful to come up here and plug your movie... -Stiller : But it was YOUR IDEA!!!!

    "Best Supporting Actress Sylvester Stallone". That's what I kept seeing, but not what it says.

    I oved the Vanessa Redgrave speech it was truthful and the "Zionist Hoodlums" gave her a very hard time prior to the awards. There is something called "Free Speech" in this world I think!!! A lady could stand for her opinion and many others did the same and worse before and after her

    Nice list. But Michael Moore I just can't take him serious. He's more a poser than actually a guy that DOES something. His "everybody hold hands and then there'll be worldpeace"-attitude is getting annoying. He's a one-trick pony. And I can't stop thinking of Peter Griffin everytime I see him...

    Heath Ledger: A fitting send-off for a talent who died too soon, all the more so because this wasn't a sentimental award - he would have won, anyway. I disagree. While he did a good job, I think Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder would have won. I still watch him in that role and can't believe it's him.

    Speaking of Dustin Hoffman for Kramer vs. Kramer is far more memorable than the novelistic tribute to Heath Ledger. Dont get me wrong:Ledger deserved the award, but the presence of his family was completely bore.

    Billy Crystal and Bob Hope were the best hosts. But let's not forget Steve Martin... "Maybe critics are right, maybe Hollywood movies are too violent. I once took a 9 year old kid to see Gladiator and he cried through the entire film. But maybe it was because he didn't know who I was..." "Right now, all over the world there are 800 million people watching us and everyone of them is thinking the exact same thught : that we're all gay!" "When you start to get famous, you get so many things you don't deserve : you get free tickets, you get moved at the front of the line... And it's so strange when you start to get recognized at the supermarket : Are you Steve Martin? Or at the airport : Are you Steve Martin? Or... making love : Are you Steve Martin?" "You know, I've just realized that hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman : it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town."

    I need to add one other event. It was the appearance and speech by Sidney Poitier a few years back (2002?). He had been the first black male to win an Oscar back in 1963, and his comments this particular evening elevated him far above the typical Academy crowd. He was a pioneer who took the slings and arrows, and survived.
