It was a return to glamour...for the men at the 78th Academy Awards. While the men have been on the rebellious side of formal wear in recent years, it was nice to see the traditional black tux make a comeback. Nobody epitomized this better than Mr. George Clooney, who was true perfection.
As for the ladies, they played it safe for the most part. I don't see any of these dresses going down in Dress Hall of Fame -- in both the Best and Worst dressed categories. If I had to give a top 3 they are:
1. Salma Hayek
2. Meryl Streep
3. Sandra Bullock
And the bottom 2 are:
1. Charlize Theron
2. Naomi Watts
Amy Adams had the best earrings. Michelle Williams had the best make-up. Felicity Huffman had the best accessory (other than her husband William H. Macy), for the broach pinning her bun.
I think Dolly Parton needs to stop seeing Joan Rivers' plastic surgeon.
It was wonderful to see my man Jack Nicholson back at the Oscars. It hasn't been the same the past couple of years without him. Also glad to see David Letterman and Steve Martin make cameos at the beginning. Jon Stewart got off to a shaky start, but improved greatly as the show progressed. I very much enjoyed the Robert Altman segment. A fitting tribute to a long overlooked director.
I could have done without the 20 minutes of monologues. I hated the music that played throughout the speeches. I was disappointed for the Academy not recognizing Don Knotts, Darrin McGavin and John Spencer during the tribute to all those we lost in the past year.
Overall I was satisfied with the show. Not the best, not the worst. Until next year...

did knotts, spencer and that other dude make movies?? cuz if they were never in a motion picture, they wouldn't be included
he was the dad from Christmas Story! Fragil-e must be italian
A Christmas Story is one of my most favorite movies ever (hell-o, Bunny Jammies???). It is a travesty that Darrin McGavin wasn't included.
Don Knotts was in No Time For Sargents and Pleasantville while John Spencer was in the Rock and as a character actor in a bunch of other movies.
