My good friend Mr. Knox has already posted some of his thoughts about tonight’s Oscars, but I figured I’d throw in my two cents as well. And I must say, I don’t know what happened, or who got the chemistry right, but this was the most engaging show I’ve ever seen the Oscars to be. Was it because of Hugh Jackman? I don’t know, but he gave every other host a run for their money, and that was in the shows opening alone.

The Oscar committee screwed up big time as far as I’m concerned when it came to who won the best make-up design. There is no way in Hell that “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” should have beaten “Hellboy 2.”
I personally have not seen all of “Benjamin Button,” but I did see enough to realize that it only really had the aging making up for Brad Pitt. Which I must admit was done with an amazing style. But it’s just one make-up effect. I can’t even begin to tell you how many different make-up effects are in “Hellboy 2.”
