And the Oscar for 'Best Moment' goes to...

I haven't seen this mentioned on any news outlet or forum I frequent, so I thought I'd mention this here:

My favourite moment from last night's Academy Awards was when Blake Edwards paid homage to George M. Cohan with his closing line, "My father thanks you. My mother thanks you. [My wife] thanks you. I thank you." Truly a classy way of tipping the hat to a true great, especially in that way as he didn't want to single anybody out.

My least favourite moment was when Bill Murray didn't win Best Actor. I was really rooting for him- for obvious reasons. However, Sean Penn deserves the Oscar- they all do- so it's not all bad.

And how lucky is Scarlett Johansson? Appearing in two great movies this year, a presenter, and she gets to sit next to none other than Sean Connery!

A sort of Freudian slip, I guess. I was rooting for Murray because his movie was so meaningful to me personally.

"The Oscars have let me come and go over the years. It's like being in the Texas National Guard."
