And the Oscar Goes To...

The 81st Annual Academy Awards have come to a close, but there are many celebrating the Academy's choices for this year.

First, I must say that Hugh Jackman deserves an "Emmy" Award for his outstanding hosting performance.  He really meant it when he said to "concentrated on the show and not the biz".  In my opinion, this was one of the most entertaining Oscars in recent years.
