Pass the popcorn, this show is never-ending!

Good lord, this is why I haven't watched the Oscars in quite a few years... it is SO. FRICKING. LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.

Who's got time to sit through all that, especially all those commercials?

Whew.

But I really wanted to see if Ben Affleck would win as producer (and snubbed director) for Best Picture, and ...

He did! Whoo! Rock ON, Ben. Awesome.

Years ago, I remember delightedly watching him win as a newbie screenwriter for Good Will Hunting. It is so cool that he won another Oscar, some 15 years later. I especially loved what he said at the end: "It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, 'cause that's gonna happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up."

Don't I know it. Seriously, smart words to live by.

P.S. I'm not a fan of Seth MacFarlane, but who knew he could sing like that? Color me impressed.

P.S. again. Daniel Day-Lewis is utterly charming and adorable. What a sweet and funny acceptance speech.
