As I mentioned earlier, I think Ellen did a great job. Yes, even better than Jon Stewart, mainly because I think she fit more into the Hollywood ideal of what a host should be. Although, I have no doubt that Jon Stewart would have had fun with Al Gore's film.
As to how I did with my Oscar picks, assuming we're just going to go with what I thought would win (as opposed to what I thought should win), I did not do well at all, going just 13 for 24, barely over 50%.
I did a little better with the pool I was in for work, going 18 for 24, but still not quite passing, and I did beat the other folks who guessed from my department. So, research group, eat your heart out!
And now, we have snowy conditions in NYC which means my commute tomorrow is gonna suck... Excellent...
Overall, good Academy Awards... though lose the America montage and start earlier and I think we can move that up to a solid great Academy Awards. Most of the folks I wanted to win won, and even with the categories I guessed wrongly on, I was never displeased with the result. And, so I end my blogging on the 79th Academy Awards with this...
RUN AL, RUN!

totally off-topic, but your "year of the cupcake" link has an extra "http//" in it so it won't work if someone clicks on it.
Fixed... thanks for pointing that out!
actually, now it's got "www2.blogger.com/http//" in the link. heh.
Alright, now I've got it! :-)
