Is there anyone who DOESN'T have an Oscar comment?
 You can always tell when an actress really and truly doesn't think she's going to win: she isn't dressed for that stage. Tilda Swinton reminded me of Brenda Bethlin (?) who took it for My Left Foot: the outfit of someone who dressed her best (not a stylist's best) for the evening, happy to be nominated and obviously comfortable with the expectation that someone else is going to win. 

Watching the Oscars always leaves me with a headache, and the sensation that my brain has been turned to chewing-gum by four hours in front of the Idiot Box. More TV (which is what I use to wind down at the end of the day) is out of the question, yet, it's too early really to go to bed. (Reading usually wakes me up, not puts me down).

Good work today.

Honey, she wasn't dressed to make a beer run to the 7-Eleven, let alone appear onstage at the Kodak Theatre.

OTOH, I think Daniel Day-Lewis turned me straight.

Tilda Swinton could almost turn me bi. Except...y'know...Johnny Depp in the audience, which always puts me back on the straight (but not narrow). And don't ask me why I think she's hot; not a clue, except I love her hair.

I never watch the Oscars (never watch any of those award shows) so am unable to comment on it. I'm probably in the minority...

If that wasn't enough, her speech showed pretty clearly that she hadn't expected to win! Either that, or she was on some kind of drug...

Or possibly both.

But it was quite an entertaining speech :).

If you're at all a fan of Viggo Mortensen, there are some pictures of him with a pregnant Cate Blanchett and some highly amusing pictures of his San Lorenzo football team obsession here.
