The Oscars

1) I liked The Wrestler too, but I'm not disappointed by Mickey Rourke losing. I haven't even seen Milk, but Rourke's performance isn't what drives Aronofsky's film the way I'm told Penn's does. Good -- fascinating, even -- but a fair call that Penn was better, I'd wager.

2) "You look like you just left a hasidic meth lab" has got to be the line of the night, from Natalie Portman to Ben Stiller (playing Joaquim Phoenix.)

3) The expression on Anne Hathaway's face when they announced Winslet won may be the classiest reaction to losing an Oscar nomination I've ever seen. She seemed genuinely pleased, actually cheering for Winslet. Far more than the polite clap-and-smile that is standard.
