Well, did anybody watch them? I watched the majority of it. Was kind of entertaining actually. Funny part is is that I haven't seen 9/10th of the movies that got nominated, but still. Clint won for best director and his movie won best picture ("million dollar baby").

I've been boycotting the Oscars ever since I learned Chronicles of Riddick didn't get nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

The Oscars are just the filmmaking community patting each other on the back. What's the point of watching, unless you're hoping some pansy prick with an overinflated ego can teach you how to appreciate movies his way? Or you're just a celebrity nut and love to watch them walk on stage and talk for 30 seconds.

That said, I did watch the intro to see if Chris Rock would be funny, and he was. I loved his digs at Bush too. I turned it off after he was done with the intro.

If you haven't seen this during the Academy Awards, chances are ABC has censored it:

Robin Williams gave new meaning to the term "tape delay" at the Academy Awards. Before presenting the award Sunday for best animated feature, he paused to rip a large piece of white tape off his mouth, then proceeded to mock those who connect cartoon characters with pro-gay messages.

The stunt appeared to confirm reports that producers had censored his gags. But after lighting on well-worn comic targets such as Viagra, Joan Rivers and Botox, Williams took on the culture wars:

"They tell me now that SpongeBob is gay. SquarePants is not gay. Tight pants maybe. SpongeBob Hot Pants? You go, girl!"

Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants was among cartoon characters featured in a pro-diversity initiative of the We Are Family Foundation. James Dobson, founder of the religious conservative group Focus on the Family, complained that the motive for using SpongeBob was "to desensitize very young children to homosexual and bisexual behavior."

Williams suggested that other cartoon characters through history also might have been gay and he didn't spare Disney icons, although Disney-owned ABC was airing the awards show.

"What about Donald Duck? Sailor top, no pants. Hello?" Williams said.

"Bugs Bunny. More dresses than J. Edgar Hoover at Mardi Gras. Hello?" Williams concluded.

The animated feature Oscar went to "The Incredibles."
