General Disclosure....
Don't ever set up an Oscar Party and play a drinking game that revolves around Leonardo Di Caprio, not when you have to work the next day. It will impair your ability to write an original response to the EVENT for all movie fans.
Anyway, I'm here, half asleep at the Office, clear enough to celebrate Del Toro, although he didn't take Best Foreign, the guy just stepped up to the plate. He is amazing and the bar has been set. Only good things are to come from this.... Clear enough to celebrate Martin Scorsese who brought about the best adaptation ever, a movie that plays like a frigging chess game and proves that a powerhouse ensemble still works when they forget about star status and get their hands dirty. Well deserved.
Mr. Di Caprio, please, make it so that I will not loose my next game and I'll be able to write down something decent next time. I still believe you are one of the best actors in your generation and in my mind, you are the guy who could have been Alexander if the script had been decent and the epic had been true to it's core.
Anyways, I'll leave the rest of the Oscar night impressions to Harry Knowles, who did it bit by bit and obviously was quite sober... consider it the quote of the day:http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31694
