Lorne and I had a ball and look forward to next year with some new Third Eyers. Thanks to the guests who watched it all. And thanks to everyone for participating.

Hang on, Lindsay Lohan's waving a $50 bill at us begging us to look down her dress. Na, I don't need $50 that badly.

2 1/2, I think. Where the hell did that Uma win come from.

Now I have to console Catalina on her loss. I didn't have the heart to break the news about the tiebreaker.

Seriously, if Crowe can get an Oscar for Gladiator, Uma can get a Blanche for Kill Bill. I'm so glad we've struck a blow against false snobbery.

Sorry I'm a little late folks..but I was here in spirit! Great job by all! Lorne great visuals and thanks for the movie star announcements.

I got 5 winners..started out best with the first 3. I didn't vote for Jamie Foxx or Uma but they did do a hell of a job.

Two things about staying power. Uma and Eternal Sunshine..both got a lot of talk, buzz, hype, raves etc. etc. waaaay back last year and they came on strong at the finish. I remember especially thinking that no film was going to beat Eternal... in 2004 and I see none did. Good stuff.

I'm proud to be a cineaste and be a member of Third Eye with it's expertese, intelligence, humor, creativity and comradeship.

The last was to Ghulam. But finally I have a winner. What a surprise. I bet F/9-11 wasn't close?


Fahrenheit 9/11 led from start to finish, but Tarnation was a spunky second. For a while there it was actually close between those two (at one point it was 6-4), then more votes came in for Fahrenheit 9/11 and it pulled away for good.

HA! haha. Nice.

I'm very pleasantly surprised with Thurman, Kaufman, and House of Flying Daggers winning. I'm very disappointed that OCEAN'S TWELVE didn't win Best Score, but then again that would be weird because it wasn't even nominated (another egregious oversight).

I'm also happy to see House of Flying Daggers has continued its cheating and maintains that it be counted among Best Director nominees.

Thanks, Ethan Hawke.

While being interviewed on the red carpet (with Julie Delpy at his side) he noted how strange it was that the screenplay for Before Sunset was in the Adapted Screenplay category. Hawke stated flat out, "It's actually an original story."

The Oscar confusion over that spread to the Blanches and it somehow made it's way into the Adapted category here as well. I thought about proposing that Before Sunset be moved out of the crowded Adapted category, which ended up with six nominees, and placed in with the Originals. If one of those two categories had to have six nominees, my reasoning would have gone, why not put the movie where it belongs? But either way it probably would have lost. No way it could have gotten out of the way of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind steamroller.

Is this song awful or what..Andrew Lloyd Webber should be handing out towels in the Kodak center men's room ! Twisted Evil The man single handedly stole the words melody and integrity when it comes to the entire lexicon of music ! God help us.

P.S. Beyonce looks bitchin. But couldn't they find another singer for song # 2 ?
