Helen Mirren was the surest bet among all nominees. She won. Now up is the Best Actor category and Reese is looking lovely as she presents the award, which goes to...Forest Whitaker, who just recently completed a compelling story line as the conflicted, vengeful, and ultimately tragic character on "ER". He is a fine character actor, who falls easily (at least it seems so) into his roles.
Stephen, Francis, and George are together to present the Best Director Oscar, most likely to Martin Scorcese, but my sentimental favorite is Paul Greengrass, who directed United 93, but the Oscar goes to the one who has suffered the longest drought without winning, though he should have at least twice in the past (Raging Bull and Goodfellas). He finally has won for a movie that supposedly wasn't as good as the other two, but it was his year this year. Much like when Spielberg won for "Saving Private Ryan" there is a good chance that his film will not win the Best Picture Award. A lighter comedy that captured some hearts, like "Shakespeare in Love" did, "Little Miss Sunshine" has a very good chance of winning.
Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson are together for the presentation of Best Picture. The most popular film is "The Departed", but Marty just received his award, so let's see who takes home the Big Prize...
And the Oscar goes to "The Departed" which just happened to star Jack Nicholson. So the cast of stars, Leo, Matt, Jack, Mark, Alec and gang took a Boston crime lord and the police department and some switcheroos and turned it into Oscar gold.
That's all for tonight, folks. How did you do on your Oscar scorecard? Better than I did, I hope.
