There was nothing too exciting about this year's awards, no one ranted about anything, and even the fashion seemed subdued. Even though I didn't know who Marion Cotillard was, I was touched by her genuine excitement and joy at having won best actress. It was very nice to see international actors recognized.

The Oscars felt kinda flat this year. I guess it would have helped if I had seen any of the best picture nominees, but still. This is Hollywood, their specialty is making things up. Couldn't they conjure up a more entertaining telecast? I liked the 60 second version a lot better than the real thing. The Oscars felt kinda flat this year.
