Having Christopher Walken speak about Michael Shannon was somebody's absurdly genius idea of a great visual gag. They looked like each other, we all had a great laugh.

I have to agree. That marred the moment a bit.

It didn't seem as emotionally memorable as I'd hoped, but the standing ovation was there, it was a very touching speech by his family, and Heath can join a very exclusive club. To think he would not have approved of an Oscar in life.

I don't even like the performance much (but I did love Heath Ledger), but I was pretty moved by that award.

I got a little teary eyed myself. Made my night, thus far.

Maybe it's the Aussie in me but I teared up.

There's ought to be at least one surprise winner in the acting categories every year. So far, no surprise in the supporting categories ... so, at least one surprise in the leading categories?

I knew they'd save Heath for last.
