Figured I would repost this so we could discuss the Oscars.  The winners are all fine in my mind but the show itself was a bit of a mess.  That strange acceptance speech interruption for the Documentary Short winner, the complete lack of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin after having to endure those cheesy commercials, and a bunch of strange sounds off stage throughout all combined to make a bizarre show. But enough with that, here are the winners.
