Sidney Poitier's Honorary Award Oscar Acceptance speech also acceptance speech for best "Actress in a Leading Role" by Halle Berry - her mother is from Liverpool...do the golden lights of "Brookside" beckon :-) 10:42:46 PM
Best Actor: Denzel Washington.
I'm still having difficulty in appreciating just how long it's been since black actors/actresses have won. Halle has done for future actresses what Sidney Poitier did for Denzel. It's absurd that Denzel hasn't won before now.
5:33:04 AM Best Actress: Halle Berry "This is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Dianne Carroll..." 5:20:05 AM

Whoopi Goldberg will be the Oscar hostess tonight. I remember a few years ago when Bryan Adams had just finished singing some soporific love song that was up for best song, the title was something like "Have you ever really loved a woman?". Whoopi turned to him and said: "If I answer that honestly...will you still be my friend" and turned back to the camera grinning from ear-to-ear :-) 12:38:23 AM
