If they’re going to do this, they should make all the previous winners do their bits as the characters they won for. Michael Douglas should be doing this as Gordon Gekko.
Ha. They said Sir Ben but not Sir Anthony. Ben said that wasn’t important to him. I wonder did he get the Sir put on?
I was hoping for that as well!!
+1 for Diogenes suggestion, I am penning my letter to the Academy as we speak.
You’d think Adrian Brody would be the odd one out for his youth, but somehow he fits better up there than Michael Douglas.
Ben Kingsley - saw him recently in “Species” - now that’s acting. 
Umm, did no one tell Mickey he didn’t need to show up in character? :eek:
Looks like Rourke is the new Nicholson.
How long has it been since Mickey Rourke washed his hair?

Actually it’s more likely that Hopkins insisted that the Sir wasn’t used.
Ah, I was rooting for Nate Fisher Sr.
runs around in circles, cheering Hooray, Sean Penn!
Fuck!
Sean Penn?! Total bullshit. He was good but Mickey was the best.
Damn, Mickey deserved this it was so raw and believable of a performance.
Milk actually turned me around on Sean Penn. Good on him.
Best opening line of an Oscar thank-you speech ever. (Sean Penn)
Wow! Happy but not expecting that. I really thought MR would win, and deservedly so, but I thought SP deserved it too. He was brilliant.
Hah- that’s exactly what Mr Kitty said, right before he compared Mickey to a pimp.
Yay for Sean! Count me as a commie homo-lover!
Sean Penn. Now THAT is a surprise. He was really good in Milk, though, so he’s not undeserving.
Great speech.
The Superhero informs me that Anthony Hopkins gave up his knighthood to become an American citizen.
