The Oscars

The Hosts: Is that the best they could do? Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin? I can think of at least a dozen people who would have done a better job, starting with Neil Patrick Harris. Why didn't they just let him stay and host after his opening number? Or why not Ben Stiller? His moment on stage as an Avatar was better by far than anything Steve and Alec did.

The Dresses: Those were my pick for the four best-dressed actresses. If I have to tell you their names, then you really shouldn't be here.

The Stars: Say what you will about George Clooney, he works the crowd like nobody's business, shaking hands, giving autographs. The other stars should take lessons from him. Gabourey Sidibe may have burst on the scene as a great actress, but she needs a lot of work on her red carpet skills. She kinda acted like a moron.

The Winners: I only saw one of the nominated movies, so I can't weigh in who won and who lost. I've vowed to do better in the coming year, and actually try to see a few more good flicks.

Pre-Oscar Coverage: Kathy Ireland was so awkward it made me cringe. If she's going to do that job, she needs to get some training...maybe from Sherri Shepherd.
