I watched from 8:30 onward and I have to say I was also entertained. First awards show I watched in a while....
And here is to Dennis Lehane, author of "Mystic River" and Eckerd College graduate, class of 1988! He was mentioned a few times in the procedings last night.
I watched, too, but I was at a hotel that did not have a robust cable system. Thus, no E! channel coverage from my girlfriend Melissa Rivers. Also, no "special channels" as they had at the Capri!
Anyway, Bill Murray was robbed. Other than that, not too bad ... Billy Crystal has not been so hilarious since the days of "My Giant," "Father's Day," and "City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curley's Gold."
Bill Murray was robbed, as were we of a great speech, I'm sure.
Ah, well.
If anyone had to beat Bill, at least it was Sean Penn. He was good in Mystic River and in 21 Grams, so that's good. I like Johnny Depp, strictly for his acting skills and choices (really!), but I'm glad that he didn't win for the stupid Disney ride movie. He was good in it as usual, but blech.
