Oscars, part 8

Best Original Song: I was happy to learn that Peter Gabriel withdrew from the Awards. He felt that the one minute allotted to him for his performance was too short, and I have to agree. They should have cut the Hugh Jackman songs and allowed the nominated songs to be performed in their entirety.

    I agree they should have cut the opening number -- I didn't feel the love for that.

    I adore AR Rahman, and Gulzar is an incredible poet. I think the song is fabulous, and I'm so glad it won.

  3. The whole show was short on content.

    My least favorite was the memorial montage. You couldn't actually SEE it! It was like a 13 year old filmed it. And I love Queen Latifah, but it wasn't about looking at her--it was about the dead folks. Give them their 4-5 seconds for pete's sake.
