(I found that second list really interesting, personally!)
So, I was really glad George Clooney won!
And glad Reese Witherspoon won, too. (I've liked her, I guess, in the past. But I like her a lot more after hearing her acceptance speech!)
I was personally glad to see Russell Crowe in attendance. (Yeah, I know a lot of people are down on him and all that, but what the hell... LOL.)
He looked good. She looked great (as always). And he did a good job during the show. (So shoot me. I like him!)
I am so, so, so bummed that "Brokeback Mountain" didn't get the Oscar! I can't even go there. It makes me see red I'm so mad. I mean, disappointed doesn't even touch how bummed I am. Man.
Regardless, I'm in my usual good mood. You know me, even being pissed off can't keep me down! LOL.
