I found it really amusing as well. Especially when he walked onto the stage; I had involuntarily spasms running through my body.
ooooh my god. just thinking about it now, making me laugh out loud in a - I shouldn't be laughing at this but I can't help it way - but wow, 88 years old... incredible seeing as he's been in big roles only a few years ago

Yeah, I wanted to see Fincher pick up the award.
And yeah, Christopher Lee is great. He's my favourite Dracula. Gary Oldman is second.

Well Portman is massively pregnant at the moment.
If that isn't a valid reason i don't know what is.
Yup, and it was woefully boring as well. To be honest, I'll probably find the Oscars extremely boring too.
Didn't watch it, but looking at the results is very disappointing. The Academy is obviously the sort of audience meant to lap up The King's Speech, the British Academy I always want to see as slightly more innovative and daring. If they'd given some surprising yet deserved awards like screenplay to Nolan, editing to Jon Harris or best actor to James Franco it would really have created a stir and actually encouraged a lot more people to be interested in future years. As it is they just look like a shadow of the Oscars and heavily biased towards brits. Given best supporting to Geoffrey Rush was a poor decision.
All that said, I am pleased to see Girl With the Dragon Tattoo won best foreign film. And Chris Morris for outstanding debut, although I would have preferred Gareth Edwards.

Pretty much what I thought. The bias is so obvious that it's just tiresome now.
As an addendum; I don't give two tosses about it being Colin Firth's time or anything like that, any awards ceremony that doesn't honour James Franco is full of ****.
