ahh, i was actually successful in my recording efforts (long shows usually somehow fail to completely record for some reason) and in reviewing thus far, i can't find anything lame or boring to me this year...i'm either growing even shallower or his year's producers have finally got it right...i don't even know who hugh jackman is but so far, thumbs up...one thing i heard while on vacation was that the statuesque, beyonce lip synched...thumbs down...but it appears that anne hathaway was actually singing, pretty big pipes for a rake

the awards (i don't care who wins, just to be nominated means these folks have done something right along the way) that put most to sleep are the ones i dig...the real film making magicians: cinematography, editing, sound editing, screenplay, set design, directing...ok, this years' actors and stunning teams of presenters cannot be overlooked...some quite challenging roles well conquered

a minor note: char, dunno what's wrong with me but tina fey has never jiggled my witty bones...maybe cos i associate her with jimmy fallon (who should be off the air by week's end, lol)...steve carrell would be a slick host but may not appear to all...stick with this jackman, multi-talent and this year's producers and the show can't go wrong in 2010

ps) nice to see richard jenkins nominated...i enjoyed his Visitor performance
