"I was left with some questions. Here they are:

1. Why hasn't Hugh Jackman been hosting this event for the past ten years (humma-humma-humma) . . . and why can't I do him? (That's not really two questions; one is rhetorical.)
2. Am I the only person who thinks the whole premise of Slumdog Millionaire is a monstrous copout . . . and wonders if any Dell employees served as extras in the movie?
3. Why the hell was Heidi Klum in the audience?
4. Who will remember any of the winners a year from now?
5. How badly do people sweat and/or itch and/or gasp for breath in those clothes?
6. Who paid for this shindig?
7. Am I the only person creeped out by that Benjamin Button movie? And Brad Pitt?
8. Why did documentaries with less than provocative subject matter (a tightrope walker and a girl with a cleft palate) win awards?
9. Who picked the clothes for a.) the presenter chick who looked like a 1960s tube of pallid pink lipstick, b.) the doofus with the skewed tie whose suitcoat was ready to pop a button into the camera, c.) the presenter chick whose dress looked like a bad case of corn smut?
10. Did that kiss they showed from Milk only seem like a squeamishly off-center smooch between two straight guys . . . or was it really?
11. Do attendees lust after people who aren't their dates?
12. Why can't I stomach Ben Stiller, and why won't he go away?13. How did a spud like Reese Witherspoon ever score with Jake Gyllenhaal . . . and why can't I do him?
14. Who could dispute the fact that Sean Penn gave the best acceptance speech ever, which began with "You commie, homo-loving sons of guns" and swung into "I want you to know that I know how hard I make it for you to appreciate me"?
15. Why did Heath Ledger have to die?"
