2008 Academy Awards

Well the Academy Awards just got over, and from my predictions I only got two wrong. That ain't bad. Tilda Swinton ended up with Best Supporting Actress, and Marion Cotilliard pulled through Best Actress. I really enjoyed all of the montages leading up to each award. Being the 80th ceremoy, each main award had a lead up montage of all the previous winners. It is always cool to see Cuba Gooding's freakout, and Adrien Brody's Halle Berry makeout session, Jack Palance's pushups, and Billy Crystal in the Hannibal outfit.
John Stewert wasn't the best host last time, and he wasn't the best this time. He was better then Ellen, but I wish they would bring back Chris Rock, or have Conan do it. He did have good moments with the "Binocuillars and Periscopes" Montage, and the "Waking up from a nightmare" montage, which had Pee Wee from Big Adventure in it.
All in all it was a good award show. All the Actor wins were relative unknowns beside Daniel Day. My favorite part might haave been Steve Carrell swearing under his breath and having it not be censored.
