Seven things about the 2008 Oscars

1. I felt really bad about Amy Adams having to perform alone, with no dancers or anything. I thought... hmmm well maybe they are paring down the performances... and nope. I just wonder what the hell happened! I still adore her though.
2. Jon Stewart... very funny as always. I think he is a subdued host -- but still a great one.
3. Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway were my favorite presenters, I think. Their little schtick was cute, and well acted.
4. 2nd favorite presenters - Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen. They DID look exactly the same.
5. Could I love Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova more? And I thought it was very classy to let Marketa come back out and say her speech. I just loved the sheer joy and the essence of "holy shit we are really here"-ness of their presence.
6. Yay Diablo Cody! If Juno only won one Oscar -- I really wanted that to be it.
7. I loved the look on Cate Blanchett's face after she saw what clip they used from Elizabeth II. And the fact that she so artfully played a dog. Well done.
