What an upset! Everyone was saying, thinking Brokeback Mountain, and Crash comes up underneath and steals the thing. Huge shock!

That was quick imran.
Haven't seen it, only friend I know who has liked it a lot. I think he will be happy.
Overall a good show, some nice surprises, Jon Stewart was OK, fit right in, and no undeserved prizes.If you don't like reality, change it! me

I thought Stewart was meh... even in the context of Academy Award presenters. I know Crystal can't host it every year, but it's his bag. Though I can't think of anyone who can take his place.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jon Stewart was best in his most daily show-esque moments. The sound editing ad, for instance, was amazing."Remember, there's good stuff in American culture, too. It's just that by "good stuff" we mean "attacking the French," and Germany's been doing that for ages now, so, well, where does that leave us?" - Elok

I enjoyed Stewart for the most part.
He was obviously nervous during the monologue, but the clip pieces where the announcer tried to announce anyone other than him as the host and the montages of political campaign spoofs were classic Stewart material, and were downright hilarious to boot.CGN | a bunch of incoherent nonsense

Ha-ha!
I guessed right the most important 3...
best movie
best actor and actress... YES! HORRAAAH FOR ME!
And no none of them was a shock to me. I'm sorry but brokeback mountain was boring ass movie. It had only one thing going on for it and that was the gay theme so it was supposed to be controversial.
Crash however had more things going for it than just controversiality (racism). It was a better movie in my opinion, and it's all about opinions after all since they are voted for. After Crash I would have ranked Munich on top. Now that was one TIGHT movie! THEN third I would have picked brokeback mountain.
I think every call on those three went on spot.In da butt.

He was far more relaxed during the show as well- he was obviously amused by the best song winners and their reaction, and its nice to see someone acknowledge the band for once.
And what was up with Jack nicholson? Can we please not let him present anymore?If you don't like reality, change it! me

The opening scene seemed very Oscar-ish and the montages had Colbert written all over them (and his voice to boot!). If anything, maybe the montages were done by Daily Show writers.

A lot of the presenters had problems this show. Dustin Hoffman opening the envelope before announcing the nominations, for example.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
