I don't care who wins best foreign film

Gomorrah from Italy got robbed. And I say that having not seen it. But it's Italian and I've had three fourths of a bottle of pinot grigio so I don't care.

This might be the night's only surprise so far -- Waltzing with Bashir had been considered the favorite. Takita's speech was sweet, too -- I got the impression that those sentences might have been the extent of the English he knows, and he perfectly summed up what everyone else is thinking: I'm here because I love movies, and I hope to be back.
