In reply to o, just wanted to thank you

Thanks, Deadman. By the end, I had definitely warmed a bit to the concept of bring back the past actors to present. I thought the past actors did the best job.

The only thing I liked about the Pineapply Express skit was when Franco stapled a dollar to Rogan's face. But I still want to see that movie, because I've heard good things.

And I agree that Halle Berry was gorgeous. I guess I didn't state that explictly because it's just so obvious. I loved her dress too! But she looked to me much thinner than usual.

Thanks for watching with us. I'm relieved the whole awards season is over so I can go back to reading books and lay off the movies for a while.

In reply to 2009 Oscar Predictions: Best Supporting Actor

o, just wanted to thank you for a fun liveblog. at some point i fell like 15 minutes behind the actual event so i had to stop participating so i wouldnt learn the winners beforehand. but i just went through a replay and your guys had some great comments.

couple comments - i actually liked the practice of bringing up a bunch of past winners to present the big awards, tho i still wouldve liked to seen clips of the performances.

i thought the seth rogen/franco skit was kind of funny.

the action montage was i guess for the three straight men still watching the oscars by that point.

halle berry was effin gorgeous, not skinny. the only prettier girl of the night may have been the star from slumdog

i actually liked seeing hollywood stars seem like real people, with a bit of wrinkles and the like. maybe they've just realized that if they go too crazy with the botox and plastic surgery eventually they will look like sophia loren.

sean penn was a nice surprise winner and gave an awesome, heartfelt speech, tho people who dont like his politics will likely like him even less, which i didnt think was possible.

kate winslet gave a very lovely speech as well.

i agree about jackman. they need to bring back the funny.

speaking of bringing the funny, you guys are so so wrong about jerry lewis. he was a slapstick genius, and his movies are actually generally quite entertaining. my guess is a lot of the people bagging him either don't like that type of humor or have only seen glimpses of his films.

ok, that is all. nice job again, O.
