The 81st Oscars

I watched most of the Oscars last night. Was not a big fan of Hugh Jackman as the host. There have been worse, and there have been better.

I liked Sean Penn's acceptance speech. His win, for the portrayal of Harvey Milk, was a surprise. He started his speech with: "You Commie, homo-loving sons of guns.... I know how hard I make it to appreciate me, often."

I'm glad Heath Ledger won for playing the Joker in The Dark Knight. He would deserve it even if he was still alive.
