Oscar Opening

OK. Hugh Jackman. Trying to do a funny Billy Crystal musical opening.

Well, if only.

Hugh Jackman just told Mickey Rourke that he looked great. Hugh Jackman now gets the Oscar for biggest liar.

Best animated film. Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black are presenting. That has to be embarrassing, but I'm not entirely sure for which person.

Although are there are bets for all three films, WALL-E is clearly the front runner in the Oscar Pool.
