I like saying Philip Seymour Hoffman

Some quick Oscar thoughts apres show:

Ang Lee is the new James Cameron.

Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved it because he always plays the most fascinating characters and makes them even greater. Philip Seymour Hoffman did not deserve it for his enthralling speech-writing abilities.

Introducing Jake Gyllenhaal as a supporting actor nominee after he already lost is more cruel than Heath Ledger's treatment of him in that film. What's that line again, Ang?

George Clooney is the new Jack Nicholson.

I didn't want Crash to win best picture because I fear the inevitable onslaught of "'Crash' crashes Oscars" headlines.





Ben Stiller should host into perpetuity.

Ang Lee was awful.
