2010 Academy Awards: Sandra Bullock & "The Hurt Locker" Are Big Winners

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards & Honors

The 2010 Oscars are co-hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, a new concept for the heralded position of host on Hollywood night. Both are veterans of hosting Saturday Night Live, but I was still a little shocked at this pick. As promised, the opening of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards was different. With the nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress took the stage to receive applause and be announced to the crowd.

Out stepped Neil Patrick Harris to open the show with a song. "I know, what am I doing here?", asked Harris before breaking into song and dance.The song turned in the end to say he was not a host and that he was firing his agent. So the hosts, Baldwin and Martin got a huge introduction. The two were funny together, as always. Steve Martin quipped, "Merryl Streep holds the record for most nominations ever...or as I like to refer to it, most losses." Since Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin and Merryl Streep are straight off working together she bore the brunt of the beginning jokes. One by one they picked on the rest of the nominees, even James Cameron to a tiny degree. George Clooney and Alec Baldwin had several serious stare downs. Clooney always wins.
Have no fear if you did miss the airing of the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, I have your list of winners right here. I'll even fill you in on the highlights of the night. For the best coverage of the Oscar Night Red Carpet fashions and faux pas, check out Sherry Wight's coverage here.

The Marriage Ref: I didn't want to laugh, but.......

I had every intention of skipping Jerry Seinfeld's new comedy/game show "The Marriage Ref" on NBC. On a total Olympic burnout and feeling a little weirded out by the whole closing ceremonies, I found myself led into the half hour kick of of the "The Marriage Ref" on accident.

I had seen the previews and as soon as I saw Alec Baldwin, I was out. I really want to like him and I always end up liking him... I just don't want to like him. Now to have him as any sort of marriage counselor? I just didn't want to like him again.

Within five minutes I was laughing so hard, and hating myself. This is the most stupid funny show since Married With Children. Worse yet, it's real (so far).

The premise: A couple brings their argument to the panel of three celebs (Seinfeld and a revolving cast). The panel takes sides on the argument and the host makes jokes and tells the couple who the "winner" of the fight is. The person who wins gets a prize. The couples also get a prize at the end of the show just for sharing... and letting us laugh at them.
