In Which Christopher Robin Blogs the Oscars (Second Half)

I could seriously watch the montage of fabulous, fabulous actresses over and over and over. If seeing these inspirational women can make ME so emotional, what must this mean to some young actress who waits tables sixteen hours a day?


Ooh, Forest Whitaker. You are a BADASS.

Jack Nicholson can take whatever you throw at him. This is a fact. He also acquiesced to swapping his trademark sunglasses for tinted eyeglasses while he makes his award presentation.

Based on seeing him at the awards, I must accept the cold, hard truth that Colin Farrell and I share a haircut.

The song from "Once" wins! There is justice in the world, at least for this moment.

The In Memoriam section is classy, as always. Heath Ledger. Oof.

OK, I'm fading a little. The idea of using active soldiers as a "hook" to award a documentary Oscar just doesn't sit well with me. I'm not quite sure why.

Oh, please let NO END IN SIGHT win the documentary Oscar. Pleeeeeease.

Well, close. TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE.

"Well-Respected Man" for Diablo Cody's background music? Huh? Nice tat, by the way. She trumps even Tilda Swinton in her barefaced shock at winning.

OK, Best Actor. Daniel Day-Lewis is a twofer, right? Whoa. Is he gay? No, I just misunderstood what he said. OK. As you were.

Best director, Coen Brothers, duh.

Best film another duh.

A good night for the Coen Brothers. And, I'd say, an expecially good night for Diablo Cody and Tilda Swinton.

And...we're out.
