Best Supporting Actress

Five women giving the award is an interesting change to the tradition of having the previous year's Best Supporting Actor present the award. Was Javier Bardem not available? Or is it a pre-emptive move if Heath Ledger wins tonight and would thus be unavailable next year?

Actually, this seems to have been inspired by Celebrity Rehab where the addicted stars all tell one another how proud they are for overcoming drugs or whatever. The Oscars have almost literally group therapy. Though what did Anjelica Huston mean by that "we don't always know what you're saying, literally at least"?

Anyway, the Oscar went to Penelope Cruz, as expected.
