The Academy Awards from the rear-view mirror:
The Fug Girls should replace Kimora.
Alessandra Stanley just about nails it, except for getting the Busey moment wrong.
Worst clip montages ever--in some cases, stills were used, probably because there's no WGA payment involved.
Obit sequence--where was Brad Renfro? Charles Lane? (Roy Schneider missed the deadline, no... [FishBowlLA]
