Wrap-up and final thoughts


Final prediction tally: 12/19. The last four saved me.
The awards were spread around, for the third year in a row: No Country won four, Bourne won three, no one else had more than two. I think my favorite speech was Glen Hansard's, for sheer emotion. Also, Daniel Day-Lewis gave another perfectly classy and heartfelt thank-you. Overall, they held it under three-and-a-half hours, Stewart was fantastic, and it wasn't all that boring. Not bad. Favorite look of the night: Jennifer Garner. Most beautiful couple: Josh Brolin and Diane Lane. Worst dressed: Marion Cotillard. What was she wearing, fish scales? Also: Cameron Diaz. I understand losing Justin must have been hard for you, but we're going on two years since the break-up. Get it together. Best pregnancy dress: Jessica Alba. Worst excuse for "entertainment": anything on the TV Guide Channel or on E! before the show. I'm embarrassed for you, Joey Fatone, Lisa Rinna, and Ryan Seacrest.

So that's all until next year. I don't know about you, but I'm already rooting for Revolutionary Road, the re-teaming of Jack and Rose (a.k.a. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.) And we now return to your regularly scheduled TV-programming.
