Like I posted earlier, never count out Streep when she is in the running - Great to see her extend her record nomination stretch to 18! We should see her hit 19 next year with Into The Woods, and then 20th in a few years later.

I am hoping that the "pre-ordained" group of five for best actress remains intact on nomination day. I see Amy Adams as the biggest threat to bust up the group. If I had to see one drop, I would want it to be Sandra Bullock, but she is a lock. I can't remember the last time (if ever) that ...

Was just thinking, Streep presented Lewis with his 3rd Oscar tonight. Do you think that next year, Lewis will return the favor and present Streep with her 4th Oscar for August: Osage County?

Overall, I'd give McFarland a B- as host -- not sure I'd want to see him back as host or not.

That closing number was embarassing

well deserved - his best performance of his 3 wins -- do you think he could nab a 4th in the next 20 or so years?

Not a bad choice, but there were three films more deserving

first time i smiled all night -- happy about this one!

Tsssss -- bad move Academy

first real surprise of the night - good for Lincoln!

And there you have the best picture winner

boo --- what a boring forgettable speech

J-Hud still has it - what a set of pipes!
