E Pluribus Unum

• I won a bet that Jon Stewart would let fly with a "shot in the face" joke at some point in the telecast. He did and I got extra points when he mentioned Bjork and her infamous swan-gown.

• George Clooney's reactions from his seat during any number of references to him from the stage.

• The attack ads (especially the one touting Reese Witherspoon) narrated by Steven Colbert.

• Three 6 Mafia voluntarily doing a clean version of their song, then winning the award, then thanking Oscar's executive producer Gil Cates in their ecstatic acceptance speeches, and...

• Queen Latifah wondering "how is it that I wasn't in that number?"

• Reese Witherspoon quoting June Carter Cash: "I'm just trying to matter."

• Jon Stewart: saying that Hollywood was "a moral black hole, where innocence is obliterated in an endless orgy of sexual gratification and greed." (cue the crickets) "I don't really have a joke here. I just thought you should know a lot of people are sayin' that."

• George Clooney, saying he was proud to be part of the "out-of-touch" Hollywood community.

• Last night was the first time in 49 years and only the third time ever that all six major award categories went to six different movies -- Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor/Supp. Actor, Best Actress/Supp. Actress.

• It was at least the second time a Spielberg film was multiple-nominated and came away with nothing.

• Kong and Geisha got more as many Oscars than as Brokeback and as many as Crash.

• Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby) won Best Screenplay for the second year in a row.

• Bill Conti playing music throughout all the acceptance speeches. Was he watching another show?

• Whatever that was on Charlize Theron's shoulder. It looked like a dead parrot -- wrapped in silk organza.

• The remarks from the Academy president, for being a collossal bore and getting -- or losing -- additional points for insisting a little bit too strongly that movies are best watched in a theater, "with strangers."

P.S. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: the burning car on stage.
