Well, another year, another mostly snoozefest. Almost everyone not attached to a movie about a discarded Pitt or directed by an unsightly Boyle might as well have stayed home.
The show did have its moments. Ben Stiller's spot-on unshaven, unwashed, Joaquin Phoenix-in-space impersonation, Seth Rogan and James Franco's pre-taped Pineapple Express stoner segment, and Steve Martin and Tina Fey's "Don't fall in love with me" bit helped me forget about Best Sound Editing, Best Costume Design, and every other Best I-Really-Don't-Give-A-Crap-Who-Wins filler award.
To his credit, Hugh Jackman did a good job as a song-and-dance man, but they seemed to stretch the definition of "host" as he was largely a "ghost" throughout the broadcast. Alas, my hopes for an Aniston/Jolie gown-shredding catfight went unrealized.
PS. I think Jerry Lewis may need to be put down soon.

Ben Stiller's impersonation was awesome!!!
Of course, it begs the question: is it AS funny if Joaquin is doing it as performance art (which I have a sneaking suspicion he is)? It's almost like Andy Kaufman doing his Vic Ferrari alter-ego, except under his own name.
Please -- the highlight of the show was just hearing the words "Mamma Mia!" being sung by Beyonce. That and Barack Obama as president within two months of each other.
I can now die a happy man.
Would it be rude of me to remind you that Pierce Brosnan won a Razzie for "Mamma Mia!"?
