Two best moments at the Oscars
last night:
* Kate Winslet accepting the best actress Academy Award and wondering aloud where he father was in the audience.
"Dad, whistle or something ’cause then I’ll know where you are."
Roger Winslet whistled so loud everyone in the world heard him. (Dad is an actor, too, appearing in several television productions. Kate is 33. Dad is 69.)
* Jerry Lewis, clearly in pain, graciously accepting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. It was a simple, moving moment. Lewis, 82, had been one of the hosts of the 1959 Oscars show.

I though the Japanese dude who could barely speak English as he threw a "Thank you" here and there in between his Japanese was best when he ended his acceptance speech with "domo arigato mr
roboto".
Also, I kinda enjoyed Ben Stiller doing his imitation of the quirky Joaquin Phoenix in garb and beard that looked like the unabomber and reminded me of Joaquin's recent strange visit to the David Letterman show.

Yeah, Stiller was good.
I missed the Tom Cruise video. I understand that was good, too.
