I enjoyed Steve Martin (Hollywood gets a little full of itself and needs lampooning often).
Also, the special appearance by Arthur C. Clarke was a very nice touch.
[OT] Maybe later…
Later, I may be able to rant coherently. I’m still miffed about both the Academy and the fashion critics dissing Kate Hudson. :-)
