Krup's Oscar Recap

Best Speech (Tie) : Morgan Freeman (short & sweet) and Jamie Foxx (long & sweet)
Most Deserving Award (Tie): Sideways (Best Adapted Screenplay) & Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Best Original Screenplay). That's two for the "Kewl Kids."
Worst Song: It's so hard to choose. It was either the song sung by Beyonce, the song sung by Beyonce or the song sung by Beyonce. Come to think of it, the Spanish song and the Counting Crows song sucked too. And speaking of Counting Crows...
Best Sideshow Bob Impersonation: Adam Duritz
Best Mr. Magoo Sucking On A Lemon Impersonation: Renee Zellweger
Best Dress: I Have No Idea
The WTF Award: P. Diddy, Oscar Presenter
Creepiest Couple: Melanie Griffith & Antonio Banderas
Most Visibly Pissed Loser: Annette Bening
Most Requested DVR/TIVO Moment At Our Oscar Party: The Lumet Gals (there are still unanswered questions)
Person Most Likely To Hate The Phrase "Well, Actually I'd Like To Direct": Hint: As of last night, he's now lost to actors-turned-directors three times (Robert Redford, Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood).
Best Cameo: Albert Brooks raving about "White Chicks"
Best Chris Rock Line: "A lot of people like to bash Bush. I'm not gonna bash Bush here tonight. I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, I think Bush is a genius. I thought Bush did some things this year, you, nobody in this room could do. Nobody in this room could pull off ok? Cause Bush basically reapplied for his job this year. Now can you imagine applying for a job, and while you're applying for that job, there is a movie in every theater in the country that shows how much you suck at that job?"
Best Line Chris Rock Should Have Said In Response To Sean Penn's Ridiculous Defense of Jude Law: "You want DeNiro and all you can get is Sean Penn? Wait." (line stolen from a fellow Oscar partygoer)
Best Impersonation of The Walking Dead (3-Way Tie): "Comedy Superstar" Jeremy Irons, Oprah Winfrey (I half expected her to croak "Ell-i-ot. ET Phone Home") and The 77th Annual Academy Awards.

Come on man, "No Idea" for Best Dress? Hillary Swank's boobalicious backless number, hands down. They very well could have painted that thing on her by all appearances. She could have dialed a phone with those nipples.

My favorite speech was that Spanish dude who didn't thank anyone, he just sang. What would have made that better is after he sang, he jabs a finger at the audience and says, "In your face Banderas!"
