Re. living in Hawaii and suffering a 90-min. delay… That’s what we mainlanders suffer when we have to shovel walkways and dig our cars out of the snow during the winter! If that’s the worst aspect to living in Hawaii, then fix me a Mai Tai, I’m on my way! ---

Ah, a tribute to Blake Edwards. Well deserved. I wonder if they’ll show a clip of **“S.O.B.”**? 😃 ---

Blake Edwards’s wheelchair-driven grab of the award was hilarious! ---

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again: Billy Crystal is really horrible. Not funny. At all. By the way, would anyone like to start a petition or something that would enforce a ban to keep Oscar-winners from thanking people during their speeches? I mean, why not say something interesting, for crying out loud? You’re supposed to be creative people, how 'bout something insightful and witty about movies or writing or SOMETHING! Anything but a long and rambling list of names that nobody cares about. It should be stipulated that, yes, we get it: you love everyone you worked with, they were the best team in the world, you’d work with all of them again in a hearbeat, your agents are amazing, your kids, your spouse, your parents, they all supported you and told you to never give up your dream. We understand. (By the way, where are all the parents who ARE telling their kids to maybe give up on those dreams before it’s too late?) ---

As soon as Blake Edwards said his first two words on stage I knew this was gonna be a long and painfully boring speech. Get him off the stage.
