I will keep this brief. And without much rhyme or reason.
Great things:
Beyonce's performance: stunning, energetic, show-stopping. Highlight of the show.
Forest Whitaker: poetic, captivating, quixotic. Deserved to win. Looked good and gave a great speech.
Other positives:
Meryl Streep (especially her response to comment about her 14 nominations "...and I'm a size 14" and her straight face during Devil Wears Prada bit)
Mark Wahlberg, just for being himself
Milena Canonero (costume designer for Marie Antoinette), insanely talented and all-around awesome
Will Ferrell's hair, basically a loose perm
Runners up: Gwyneth Paltrow, Guillermo del Toro, Ryan Gosling
Honorable mentions: Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren
Cute:
Marty tearing up when Thelma won for editing
Not cute:
Celine Dion's number
Noticeably absent/wish they were there:
Dakota Fanning, Donnie Wahlberg, Sofia Coppola
Questionable:
Philip Seymour Hoffman's near-dreadlocks
Jessica Biel's inclusion. More specifically, why is she there and not Dakota Fanning?
Jack Nicholson
Wishes:
Leonardo would stop slicking his hair back, even though he still looked handsome.
More attention would have been given to Spike Lee's "French auteur" look.

You like Dakota Fanning? I'm suprised and a little concerned. Miss you!
Erica, have you seen Man on Fire? There aren't too many actors, let alone under the age of 14, who can steal every scene from Denzel Washington. And I thought you loved I Am Sam? Still haven't seen it, but I will because of DF. Love her photo in the Red campaign too and I can't wait for Hound Dog. Plus she has braces now! The girl can do no wrong.
I'm not afraid to admit it but I'm another Dakota Fanning fan. I loved I Am Sam, Sean Penn was excellent and she was very good in Man on Fire. What can I say, I'm a sucker for cute little kids. I even liked Jersey Girl because of the little girl (Gertie) even though I know the movie was labeled a bomb but I also like Kevin Smith.
