It felt like the pros were in charge. Jackman was great and his opening number was a hilariously complete instant classic.

But because Sean Penn deservedly won for Milk we did not get to hear a Mickey Rourke moment at the Oscars so here is his Independent Spirit Award speech (NSFW) for his win yesterday for Best Actor. And we like Eric Roberts too.

Hugh Jackman is hosting the Oscars. Yeah, is a Wolverine but he is a Broadway type and has hosted the Tonys a couple of times. The top hat and cane stuff looks pretty old school but look at the guns on that guy.

The Orange British Academy Awards last night were as good as it gets. Funny, raunchy and poignant without being maudlin and where else is Terry Gilliam going to get a lifetime acheivement award?

Here is the award for the late Heath Ledger for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.
