Oscar recap

So what did everyone think? Everything went according to form, except for the big prize when "Crash" crashed the "Brokeback" party.

I miss the days when there was real tension in the air for the big categories, when you had no idea who was going to win until the envelope was opened. Unexpected wins for people such Daniel Day Lewis, who won for "My Left Foot" over Tom Cruise and "Born on the Fourth of July," was uplifting.

Nobody knows more than me how marketed and pre-planned everything is now in the Oscar race but more spontaneity is really needed.
