Hopefully, throughout the rest of her career, Melissa Leo will not be called upon again to accept an Oscar or even be a presenter. She must have thought she was back in her role as the low-life common mother in "The Fighter." Didn't Miss Leo realize where she was? Perhaps, she was boozed up at the ceremony.
While there were some flaws at the show, it was a good one, especially the open sequence where hosts Ann Hathaway and nominee James Franco put themselves in the 10 nominated films.
Noticed that last year's supporting winners Monique and Christoph Waltz were not there to present the awards for their winning categories.
As has been the case in the last number of years,the nominated songs were just awful.
Celine Dion singing Smile Though Your Heart is Breaking was memorable during the memorial sequence. How come Corey Haim, Betty Garrett and Peter Graves were omitted? Ditto for the woman who played opposite Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris."
All these things said, we still had a very good show. Wonderful seeing Kirk Douglas and how he reminded us of his 3 Oscar loses as well as Eli Wallach.
The women were impeccably dressed. Ms. Leo, though, appeared to be wearing curtains.
