Well, that's that. Everybody looked great. I loved that Jennifer Hudson and America Ferrera won. Sascha Baron Cohen gave a hilarious speech about his co-stars balls and anus being on his face? I haven't seen the movie, but the speech was funny and everybody in the audience was cracking up. I still have to speak to my theater about why they never screened Dreamgirls, because I really wanted to see it. Meryl Streep also gave an awesome speech and she was so great as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. Warren Beatty was honoured by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It's also cool Forest Whitaker won for the Last King of Scotland. I've been hearing rave reviews about him in it, but I was really hoping Will Smith would win. It was also great seeing Martin Scorsese win, but I have yet to see this The Departed that I've been hearing so much about. One of these years he has to win an Oscar. There wasn't a lot of surprises, but it was good.

Til next time.......
