I'll definitely talk about the winners, but I must first point out that virtually every single woman who appeared on stage was wearing a mermaid dress. Is that its real name? Prolly not, but they were flared at the bottom and strapless so I gave it a catchy name. And while I'm talking about fashion, was it opposite day in the hair department? There was way too much bleached blonde out there. But I digress.

Generally, I'm happy with the winners tonight. I was happy to see Born into Brothels win as it has something of a personal connection. My only real disappointment was that House of Flying Daggers didn't win cinematography. The plot put me to sleep, but it was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.

In regards to Chris Rock, I'd take him every year. He was funny without being cheesy. I loved the "man on the street" bit when he talked to real people about their favorite movies. I wouldn't mind just watching that for three hours next year. I guess that's kinda like the People's Choice Awards, but less stupid.

Most importantly, I highly recommend watching awards shows with Tivo. I watched the whole thing in a little over a hour and a half. I guarantee your butt is number than mine.
