81st Academy Awards

Oscar paraded for 3-plus hours this evening.

It was fabulous. Lots of standing ovations.

Congratulations to Slumdog Millionaire for receiving 8 awards for 10 nominations.

Congratulations to Penelope Cruz, Heath Ledger's family,
Kate Winslet, and Sean Penn.


Wonderful to see these actresses: Sophia Loren, Shirley MacLain, Meryl Streep,
Angelia Jolie, Reese Witherspoon, Beyonce, and so many more.

And these actors: Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Michael Douglas, Hugh Jackman, Richard Jenkins, Mickey Rourke, and lots, lots more.

It was glitz, glamour, stardust, and classic Hollywood.


I loved every minute of it. Good night from Southern California.
