I enjoyed it as a 90-minute music video, like 9 1/2 Weeks. The acting was mediocre, the script predictable but her visual style was stunning.

I'm pretty sure the Argentine song from "Motorcycle Diaries" won a couple year ago - I remember it being performed and it was pretty good.

A mismatched pair
Alicia: I was valedictorian at the Fame high school and signed a record contract at 16.

Eddie Murphy
Remember when we thought Eddie Murphy made a dramatic breakthrough and then followed it up with Norbit?

Oh, Cuba, don't be so passive aggressive just because you lost that role to RDJ.

Supporting Actor
I'm surprised Cuba could make the time to come to the show…

And On The Line gets robbed
for a 10 minute version of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

Animated short upset
I'm shocked Pixar didn't sweep. The winning short was very touching but I hoped This Way Up was gonna win.

All the animated films…
And still no Delgo.

I think it's a play on Ares/Mars, like MARS became an acronym in the original. (I think that was vague enough for people unfamiliar with the original). Clearly the IAB guys wanted Sam's story over the others.

When your best isn't enough
Saracen in the end zone after the fumble struck me as a reference to one of the classic football photos: Y.A. Tittle after a loss to the Steelers in '64.

The Transporter would have smirked a lot and had at least two scenes where he had to take off his shirt. Neeson has no time for such histrionics - he's got Albanians to torture and it's too cold to go topless.

So much word. Britton and Chandler should have been nominated the last two years and Brad Leland (Buddy Garrity) should get a nod this year - his work has been amazing in s3. His scenses with Lila, Joe McCoy and even his solo stuff is so good. He took the blustery small-town fixer and gives him some subtle depth. …

Why this ep?
(Also, I'm not sure this really was the best way to lead out from Lost, since the episode was practically devoid of the kind of mythology and weirdness that Lost fans might dig.)

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

I'm with you on the M.A.N.T.I.S. (do we really have to type all the damn periods?) love. It will sit next to my ProStars DVD (Bo, Gretzky and Jordan in the same cartoon? Yes please!).

And I lost because I mispronounced "de Kooning" as "de Koonig". Damn Dutch.

Benji, I was there in February because Trebek had his heart attack in November. In fact, I got bumped up because someone who was there in Nov. couldn't make it back in Feb. when he started filming again. Everyone else there had been in LA and had to come back (the show reimbursed them for the return).

I assume you mean the Playboy model with the asshat husband, Jonathan. I still remember his freakout in Berlin in front of the Brandenburg gate.

Hometown Howdys suck. No matter what, you're going to sound like a tool.
