FINALLY win the Academy Award! I watched the video of her winning today and the great thing is that none of the nominees did the typical "clap but wish I was up there" routine. Each other them, Anne Hathaway included, were genuinely happy for her, Angelina even looked moved.
My favorite of the night was that previous winners in the category acknowledged individual nominees and their performance. That way each person walks away with something. I hope that they continue it. It was also interesting to see Nicole on stage considering that she was initially cast in the "The Reader" but had to withdraw due to her pregnancy. She and Kate hugged and I lip read her say, "You were SO good!" So it's great to see no animosity between the two of them, because I love them both.
Okay, Hugh Jackman!!! He was fantastic and I loved him hosting the Academy Awards, he was perhaps on of the best hosts of the Academy Awards ever! He could definitely get an Emmy Award for it in the category of "Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Special." Billy Crystal won a couple times for hosting the Academy Awards so I hope he does because it is well deserved.
I predicted that Sean Penn would win for "Milk" and I'm so happy that he did because it is a fantastic performance. It was also great to see him acknowledge Mickey's performance. Even though he did not win the Mickeys career has been resurrected due to his performance. It was also great to see Sean Penn have a personality when he won because he is usually so stoic. It is also great that Dustin Lance Black won for "Best Original Screenplay" because the film was great and he has SUCH a wonderful acceptance speech. Can I also say that he is SO CUTE! Here is a spread that I found that has pictures of him and has to do with "Milk."

I will post more later tonight about the Oprah "After Oscar Special."
