Buffy ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jessica, where did you stand on the Best Editing award?
Oh, I was rooting for The Aviator all the way. It totally deserved it.
I did have to snort when they let Schoonmaker come up from the audience like a real person instead of making her come up onstage early like all the other tech award winners, though. I'm not sure if they did that because they consider editing more important than production design, or because she's such a big name.

They didn't have the editors onstage before the names were read, as they did for some other tech awards. So I'm guessing this.

Right, but I'm wondering, would they have thought so if Schoonmaker wasn't a nominee?
it seemed kind of insulting.
It was either insulting black people, or the Academy, or white people, or SOMEONE. Well, unless it was supposed to be funny and not antagonistic. Albert Brooks was hysterical, though, but not worth all the rest of the repetition.
Did anyone else think that brunette Renee Z. looked remarkably like Lily Tomlin as Ernestine, the phone operator? I was expecting RZ to say, "One, ringy-dingy..."

I thought she looked like Mrs. Bates.

All corpseified and gross?
As for Chris Rock, his opening was OK - I laughed at the comments that Jude Law was in EVERY picture this year, mostly because I've been thinking the same thing. What didn't work was the bit with Adam Sandler and most of his intros/comments throughout the rest of the evening. Overall, they felt rushed and not very funny.
Do folks think Chris Rock was better than Letterman? I do.
