_Master and Commander_ for sound! It rocked my world. (Of course, _LOTR_ has momentum, but…) ---

Scarlett Johansson has got to be older than 19. pokey, maybe you’re right; I’ll look for that next time she’s on camera. I don’t know what it is, because usually I think she’s smokin’, she still is, she just looks different. ---

I was expecting _Monster_ to win for Best Makeup, too. ---

Travolta and an unrecognizable Bullock: winners for most strained repartee of the evening (so far). Hard to believe this sh@t is scripted. ---

> [@Larry Mudd](#): > > _Master and Commander_ for sound! It rocked my world. > > (Of course, _LOTR_ has momentum, but…) LOTR wasn’t nominated in that category. So far it looks like LOTR has won every award for which it was nominated. ---

I nominate Julia Roberts for best speech of the night. And the dress ain’t bad, either. ---

Can I make a small request for those of us who are watching this thread for means of news of winners – can you note when you are talking about who actually just won vs when you are hoping someone will win something? If so, Thanks. If not, Bite me. ---

Another one of the Glorious Dead paid tribute to: Katherine Hepburn. Julia Roberts, who is wearing a large diamond brooch between her breasts, used a rather strange anecdote for it. My fave Kate drama is LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT, and comedy is BRINGING UP BABY. “It’s official. There is now noone in New Zealand left to thank.” Heh. Travolta + Bullock = inanity _even by Oscar standards_. Whoa there. ---

If not, Bite me. Ditto, I watched some earlier, off and on, and wouldn’t mind seeing updates on who has won what here. I know that Renee Zellwegger won Supporting Actress, and Tim Robbins won best Supporting Actor, _Finding Nemo_ won Best Animated Picture and beyond that I’m a bit in the dark. ---
