A couple of other flubs: Sir Ben Kingsley, but not Sir Anthony Hopkins? (This was the announcer, not anyone on stage.) And Phillip Seymour Hoffman got called Seymour Phillip Hoffman by whomever spoke his tribute (I don't remember which previous winning actor it was that did this).
I actually enjoyed Hugh Jackman, and thought the opening number was amusing. Though I think that musical number in the middle that Baz Luhrmann produced was kind of silly... and I'm a fan of his films.
All the stuff in between? Meh.
![](graphics/smiles/icon_yes.gif) I sat there with my jaw open, although I had read Jackman was doing something musical on Broadway I believe? so I shouldn't have been too surprised...I thought it was funny, and very fitting for the times....we needed a little joviality....I only watched thru Penelope Cruz's acceptance, but liked the idea of the 5 previous winners presenting....it was a good turnout for Hollywood, and much more interesting just seeing some of these folks then listening to 2 people reading teleprompter fed cheesy dialogue that they always screw up.... I missed Steve Martin & Tina Fey though, and it sounds like it was a good one.. :(

Oh yeah for sure, Shame it had to come to that though. I have nothing against Sean Penn, I like him as an actor and from what I've seen of him in interviews etc as a man too. I think his nod towards Mickey in his acceptance speach said it all really.
