  1. Ron--Yes to OSCAR. I predicted EVERY ONE of the winners for the top awards, even Tilda Swinson. No lie. I was really rooting for Ellen Page but was certain that La Vie En Rose actress would deservedly get the award.

    I thought Jennifer Garner looked great. I thought Johnny Depp looked even greater.

    Love Diablo Cody, but she does need a stylist. She could still go for edgy, but how about "edgy glam" rather than slutty careless.

    Hope to see you soon.

    BEST thrill: The Once winners. Yahoo
