Well, first of all Helle Berry deserved to win. She totally blew away the competition. Only other actress who stood a chance, imo, was Judy Dench. I dislike Mrs. Berry but she's a very, very good actress. Go see Monster's Ball and tell me she shouldn't have won the Oscar.
Denzel over Russel wasn't a huge surprise. They're both equally good, so that was really a toss up.
Sidney Poiter getting his honorary award was nicely done, I thought. He had the decency to look a little uncomfortable with the whole deal, and didn't stand around kissing his own ass. Although, the little montage they made for him did plenty of that. lol
I liked Robert Redfods speach.
Whoopi wasn't in good form. They muzzled her this year -- she's really quite funny when she cuts loose.
Was I the only one who noticed Gweneth Paltows boobs? She needed a push up bra, but the see-thru thing was cool.
I give this years Oscars a 5/10. Pretty bland, but an ok way to kill a Sunday night.
