It was kinda sweet what big momma's boys they were in their acceptance speeches.

I haven't seen it either, although some of it was filmed a few blocks from my house. I did get a glimpse of Bruce Dean on the way home from work one day. Looking forward to the video.

I didn't see any really horrible dresses. The rise of stylists has made Oscar dresses both more elegant and more boring.

five times for Amy Adams!
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Maybe he's rethinking his ongoing relationship with Scorsese
I've never seen him act badly. He's brilliant. I think in the early days he wasnt winning anything for BB diaries etc because he was too young and pretty but surely now he's a wrinkled old bastard he deserves one at some point. Possibly not for Wolf of Wall Street but next year maybe.
Dr. Furface
One small step for me
I tend to agree with you, but it was a great performance and he well deserved his award.
Actually this year is the first time I can remember when I think the Academy got every award right (at least from the nominations) - and it was a strong year too. I haven't seen 12 Years A Slave but given it's subject and the critical reaction to it I'm not surprised it won and it probably deserved it. But in other years either Gravity or Dallas Buyers Club could easily have scooped the best film award - and compared to last year's very disappointing winner, perhaps every film nominated this year could have.
The Octagon
Stop...Hammertime
Just watched the extended highlights, was a pretty good show and as others have said, no real dropped balls in terms of the awards (I'd have gone Chiwetel Ejiofor over McConaughey personally, but either deserved it).
John Travolta fucking up Idina Menzel's name, and also looking like a cheapskate with the Pizzas did make me laugh
Nice Harold Ramis shout out from Bill Murray too

He was in the montage (about 4 mins in).
Just thought it was nice as they apparently didn't get along well in recent years.

Suppose it was cutting it a bit close for them to re-edit, but apparently there is a much longer 'In Memorium' posted on the official site that includes lots of people not shown during the main ceremony.
But yes, great director, remember being shown Night & Fog in my first year at Uni doing Film, hard to watch but brilliant.

And a god-botherer to boot, judging by his acceptance speech.

He was in it, you may not have recognized him. His illness had aged him quite a bit.
BTW, I could have done without "Wind Beneath my Wings." I'm about ready to stop going to funerals because of endless video montages backed by that awful, awful song.
If it must be a Bette Midler song, can't we have "Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder" once?

You have to forgive his handicap. He was born in Texas. You don't get out of there alive without having accepted Jesus as your personal savior.
