I liked the hosting job that Jon Stewart did at The Oscars. Not every thing was perfect but it was funny most of the time despite the limited time to produce the The Oscars . But he did do a kind gesture: when the music(song) winners Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova got on stage, Glen Hansard made his speech but Marketa Irglova was cut off. Jon Stewart went and got back Marketa Irglova on stage so that she could do her speech too.

Yes, time is important at the The Oscars but Jon Stewart was right doing what he did.

Blunder?

Every year during the Oscars, the Academy take time to remember fellow members of the movie industry that died during the passed year. Some are big names and some less known by the general public. I think the ideal is a nice gesture because we may had missed someone during the year that passed over.This year, and most recently, was marked by the death of Heath Ledger, and of course, they finished with him. But I also expected that they would had included Brad Renfro that died the week before him. He did have some known movies like: The Jacket, Apt Pupil, The Client and the upcoming The Informers.

Was it a blunder by the Oscars or the wish of the family? What were the criteria to be included in the montage?

Anyway, congrats to all winners even if I did not see most of those movies yet. At least, I can rent them.
