They should have given you the Oscar

**Half-assed live blogging of the Oscars**

Would love to know what Laura Linney whispered to Jennifer Garner after pulling her away from Gary Busey.

Loved the monologue joke about the presidential race -- yes, normally if there's a woman or black president, there is a meteor heading for the statue of liberty.

Javier Bardem is the hispanic Robert Downey Jr.

Tilda Swinton just amazed me with her actual personality. Glad she won, but the Dylan fan in me is a bit sad that Cate Blanchett did not.

Showing the Adapted Screenplay writers writing was amusing, esp. with (winners) Joel & Ethan Coen actively not writing.

Overall, Kristen Chenoweth bugs me. Gays and theatre geeks, attack now.

Helen Mirren looks amazing, as ever. How incredibly hot is she?!
