1. I'm watching just for Jon Stewart, who is doing a pretty good job so far.

30. Taxi to the Darkside wins
There was competition with the anti-war documentaries - this is a great winner.

9. I think Moore is in the audience - he was saying the other day that he wished he
could take Fidel Castro to the Oscars so Fidel could speak if Sicko won -- all they would need to do was to extend the Oscar's ceremony by about 5 hours to Fidel could give a (for him) brief speech.
