Oscar Full of Surprises

I thought it was good that there were some surprises, makes it a more interesting show.

When Steve Carrell told Ryan Seacrest he thought The Departed would win, I knew that was going to be the choice. When The Departed won the editing award, that sealed the deal. The academy must've thought Marty had it, because Francis Ford Coppolla, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg presented the directing award to their peer. Not a coincidence Im sure.
