Even though there is a strong tradition of skepticism about the real value of Hollywood awards (Berlin and even Cannes have much more prestige here among the cultural elites), this Oscar has been much celebrated.

I agree, Morricone's music is just fantastic. He reinvented a whole subgenre musically (the Western) out of nothing. Also the popular "The Mission", "Cinema Paradiso", etc. etc. I am glad that he finally got this recognition while he is still alive and in pretty good shape. Thanks!

Excellent dress on Cate Blanchett. <br/><br/>Also loved Helen Mirren's salute to the Queen. She may have been too caught up in the moment, spinning around and dizzy, to have that reflex.

I was actually yelling at the screen: hug him, hug him! I could not believe it; she acted like he had cooties or something. I mean, come on, he's George Clooney--no one's THAT nervous.
