The Final Countdown: An Avalanche of Oscar Wrap Up

Did you watch them? No word on the ratings yet, but chances are pretty good they’ll be down for one reason or another. How do you think Jackman did as host? He was certainly charming enough, and his Ricky Gervais-written jokes landed quite well I thought. And “I’m Wol-ver-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!” Probably the best opening number in a decade.
But there’s so much more to talk about, and only a little bit of link space. But here we go.
