Cate...nice

I know it's still early in the show, but so far Chris Rock has been terrible as host. Maybe he'll get better during this hour... or the next.

 

[Paul_Scott]

somebody cast Sophie as Storm in X3...she looks like shes got some chops.
grab her while shes cheap.

 

[Craig S]

Well, not a clean sweep, of course. RotK was the first & only double-digit nominee to do that.

Cate gets it. It's shaping up to be a big night for Marty & co.

Patrick & Jason are 6 for 6. I missed the last two. :frowning:

 

[Dana Fillhart]

Ha! Even SHE pronounced it Scor-SAY-zee!

 

[Robert Crawford]

I liked how they played the theme from "Laura" as they went to break.

 

[Bryan Ri]

I'll second that.

 

[Holadem]

Cate!!!....

Hey, I love Cate, but hers was the least interesting and demanding part.

Ah well.

Johnny Carson Tribute.

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

Disappointed Virginia Madsen lost.

I like the Albert Brooks bit, though. That is one hilarious guy.

Chris Rock is "so-so". I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at this stage.

 

[Craig S]

Ah, a tribute to Johnny. Music from Contact, a lovely score by Alan Silvestri.

Nicely done.

 

[Dana Fillhart]

I dislike Rock's disposition, and sometimes cringe at his mannerisms and expressions, but he IS pretty funny tonight - most of his jokes I've laughed at, and that for me makes him qualified enough to come back (assuming he doesn't fall flat on his ass between now and midnight).

Good tribute. Carson will be missed.

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

Good idea to do a Johnny tribute. Very nice. Classy.

 

[Mark Bendiksen]

Didn't this presenter used to be on "Growing Pains" or something? I feel like I've seen him before.

 

[Craig S]

Rock is doing OK. Not in Crystal or Martin's league, but better than Goldberg or Letterman.

Leo to present Docu awards.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Best Documentary Feature goes to ... Born Into Brothels!

7/7 for me...

 

[Dana Fillhart]

4 for 7, I guessed Super over Brothels

 

[Holadem]

God I fucking hate that "all nominees on stage" crapolla!

Rock rules.

I think Cate's Oscar was also a makeup Oscar for Elizabeth.

 

[Dana Fillhart]

Someone should do a quick comparison to see where the 2004 Awards was at this point in time (it's been 1 hour thus far)...
