his speech one of the highlights for me how he got up and talked about his family instead of thanking agents and studios and what not as usual. julianne moore not a surprise, she was the front runner and darling of the evening. certainly was. she looked phenomenal. sounded great when she got up there and has given so many speeches this season. like j.k. simmons, the oscar speech really was her most personal one yet. it really meant something to her and it was beautiful to see her all smiles up there. grae, birdman versus boyhood, big snub there? i m pretty disappointed that boyhood didn t take home more prizes. i m happy patricia arquette got best supporting actress and she had a soap box she wanted to share at the oscars. but no big surprises. where is linkletter s directors nod. come on, you guys. i can t say i m upset that birdman would take home a lot
