I usually like Seth MacFarlane, but well, not as much tonight.
I hardly cracked a smile during the entire telecast, partly, probably, because I haven't seen any of the films. But I will say, there are some I do want to see now, so I guess that's good....

I can honestly say that i've never watched the Oscars due to the time difference. Well I heard Oscar was a Gemini?

Don't know the exact figures/odds but very unusual that Best Director award isn't given to the film that won Best Picture. I really thought Lincoln would win. Of the nominated films however, the only ones that appeal to me are Lincoln & Argo. TIS

TIS Am I the only one who thought Argo was just OK, not super great? and if it was so great, why wasn't Ben given a nod at Best Director?

Because at the time of voting for the nominations, ARGO wasn't a front-runner. It actually sorta faded away, as happens to movies it seems that don't open in November-December. Academy voters have short memory spans. But then that Affleck "snub" happened, and incredibly it gave fire back to ARGO's campaign. Who knows? If Affleck had been nominated himself from the get-go, ARGO might not have won Best Picture. That would be LINCOLN probably. I give props to George Clooney (won a Best Picture Oscar as a producer of ARGO) for not giving an Oscar speech. Incredibly believe it or not, his 8th Oscar nomination and 6th different category to be nominated for. He previously was nominated for Actor, Supporting Actor*, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, and Director. *=Which he won his first Oscar for. Can't remember the movie's title off the top of my head.

Saw the last 30 minutes of the oscars, best actor,actress, and film. Most important parts of the show IMO.
