That music cue reminds me once again that I have to get the Indiana Jones boxset. And has Harrison Ford aged somewhat badly or is it just me? And I’m on this forum and another forum discussing the Oscars. I never thought I’d be reading a thread discussing the 5.1 sound mix being used during the Oscars. ---

I wonder if that was the first tattoo ever seen on the Oscars. And I believe we get to the over of the running over at 11:54 EST. ---

Wardrobe malfunction? She walked the wrong way (probably due to tears in her eyes). Her dress stayed on just fine. 😕 Helen Mirren just gets more beautiful. ---

OK, Hellen Mirren is old too, but listening to her read off vices made me tingly. ---

Hey Helen Mirren will be 63 in July - she’s taken pretty good care of herself. ---

Helen Mirren still looks pretty darn good! 'Course, any woman who says “cojones” on network television is pretty hot to me. That, and I’m staring 60 in the face! OK, best actor is … (c’mon Tommy Lee!) … okay, DDL is simply one of the best! Nice gesture, to genuflect to Mirren. Knighted, indeed!
