Tuning in for the last hour or so, seems like I missed most of the good stuff. Barbara, "The Way We Were," she still has it though not as much as she had it in her prime.

Mostly what I got was Hollywood in indulgent self-congratulations, which is to be expected. All the nominees would have been worthy winners, year of the writer, blah blah blah.

Bond themes back on top, nice to see, they kind of went downhill after "For Your Eyes Only."

Daniel Day-Lewis, I'd say it was really a close one, but I'll give him the nod for Best Acceptance Speech. Must have been crushing losing the opportunity to play Maggie Thatcher.

Poor Jennifer Lawrence, once again the dress steals top billing.

Best Picture, Argo? Let's see, two literary classics, one done as a musical and one done with magnificent effects, an American victory story, an American historical drama, a romantic comedy, a Tarantino fiction adventure, the Hushpuppy story, a French film, and ... an American victory story that also happens to allow Hollywood to be indulgent and self-congratulatory claiming also a Hollywood victory story. Should have seen it coming.
