H, Amy Adams performance in the film totally sold two of those Enchanted songs, which were a lot of fun in the theater because of her powerhouse performance. Don't judge the film on the Oscars' poor interpretation. Like I said, having NOT seen Once and truly liking Enchanted, I believe they got Best Original Song exactly right. But they didn't do Enchanted any favors.

I'm unsurprised by the tepid criticism of Stewart from some of the "insider" blogs. They did the same thing last time he hosted. He's laid back and calm, and he isn't as star struck as some of the LA d-bags would like. He basically got famous and popular on his own terms. I think he is a GREAT host, and he was the big reason I tuned in last night. He can take the piss in a nice understated fashion. But subtlety doesn't play well at the Oscars. I didn't like everything he did, but he even handled the bad jokes pretty well.
