I turned my head for a minute. What did Adrian Brody do before announcing Best Actress, that got a chuckle? ---

**Casey1505** , he spritzed some breath spray in his mouth…a reference to him laying a big spur of the moment liplock on Julia Roberts when he won last year. ---

> [@Dignan](#): > > Does someone want to fill me in on how bad Letterman was when he hosted? I know he will make a joke about it on his show tomorrow. He couldn’t have been that bad. If you’re a Letterman fan (I am, big time), then you liked his hosting. I thought he did fine. He even did a Stupid Pet Tricks bit. I don’t recall exactly what his critics said, but he’s always been an acquired taste, and apparently the Academy didn’t feel like giving him another chance. ---

Hasn’t “Best Actress” usually been the last award? Interesting that the prizes got reshuffled this way. Well, I was looking forward to renting **Monster** on DVD, but it might be a while longer, if it makes another round through the theaters. ---

Oops… **Bruce\_Daddy** has it right, it was Halle Berry. Julie Roberts was the one who leapt on Denzel Washington when he won. ---

OK, will it be Depp or Murray? My money is on Bill. ---

> [@Jadis](#): > > **Casey1505** , he spritzed some breath spray in his mouth…a reference to him laying a big spur of the moment liplock on Julia Roberts when he won last year. Keisha Castle-Hughes shot him the greatest “you are _such_ a loser!” look when he did that. ---

I thought it was always the “Best Picture” that’s the last one. ---

My heart wanted Keisha or Naomi to win, but it was a strong category. My money is on Penn (literally). ---

I think one of the reasons Rings is getting everything is because it didn’t win the last two years. ---

Sorry, but this isn’t Depp’s year. It’s Penn or Murray (my money’s on Murray) ---

I’ve like to see Depp get it for his career, but I don’t think it will happen. Then again, I didn’t think ROTK take home 27+ awards either. ---

\ Not that I didn’t like Sean Penn’s performance, but I really wanted to see one of the comedic ones get it. ---

Sean Penn?! That critic is right, movie should have been called OSCAR BAIT. ---

Oh rats. Given that exasperated, nervous look on Bill M.'s face, I was really looking forward to his acceptance agony. ---

Darn it. I wanted Murray or Depp. Penn is OK, but I wanted one of the other guys. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/watch-a-long-oscar-thread/231821.md?page=14) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/watch-a-long-oscar-thread/231821.md?page=16)
