I usually half watch the Oscars. I always look forward to them, but usually find them quite boring. Last night I watched with a few friends and really thought they were amazing. The production numbers aside, Hugh Jackman did a great job. I am in the camp of people who loved former winners presenting the acting awards. I felt for the most part Oscar for the first time found a way to get personal.
The highlight of the night for me, and I am sure for many of you was the acceptance speech of screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. I got very emotional, and I am sure I was one of thousands of gay men around the globe who fell in love.
