I think he was just joking around. He started off with... This thing is heavy. I'd like to thank the Academy for finally recognizing my films. Thank you so very, very, very much! I thought it would never happen. ...

Everyone everywhere said Penn would win. Who was he listening to?

It's still only 5, as it either belongs to the "original" or "adapted" category. Each film still only has a chance at 1 of 5 slots.

That Michael Moore cameo was hilarious! :laugh: FYI, all the acceptance speeches are transcribed at Oscar.com. Just go to the list of winners and click on the winners' names.

"All About Eve" had 14 noms, but only 6 wins (I believe).

If he's a man of his word, there's some nasty lemonade in his future! :D

Considering that the producers practically embarass themselves year after year by begging and pleading with Billy Crystal to host the show, I think they like "The Billy Crystal Show" approach.

Is Sean Penn's mouth going to talk him out of an Oscar? Will the Academy voters enjoy being called "cowards"?

And wasn't "Master & Commander" shot in Mexico? And "Lost in Translation" in Japan? And "Mystic River" in Boston...oh, wait.... :)

They did the same thing with the Golden Globes: "...winner of XX Golden Globe nominations...." Very tacky, then to add that "best picture" comment onto that.... :rolleyes:I would think they'd get spanked by AMPAS.

He's probably sourcing the same material as my local radio station. They announced this AM that "for the first time they could remember, there are six nominees for 'Best Picture.'" They then listed the five real nominees with "Cold Mountain" as the sixth. :rolleyes
