Part of Jodie Foster's speech confuses me. Is she retiring from acting? Will she still direct? Is she retiring from show business entirely or what? Not clear on that part. She seemed nervous and rambled through some of it. She referred to coming out but primarily to her desire for privacy. The part about her family was touching and moving. I'm sure this was hard for her, and it showed. I've always admired her. She has remained loyal to her friendship with Mel Gibson, who was at her table and looked stunned and unsure of where he was and what was going on.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hilarious and got some good zingers in there.
Tommy Lee Jones was not amused.
Good show.

I'm a baaaaad pop culture observer as I am not an award show fan. I have to rely on the interwebz.
I don't know if I was being ironic. I mean, she's a lesbian and she was glimmering ......
Jodie apparently said backstage that she was not retiring, that she loves to act, but that she might direct more.
What i got from her speech was that, as a wee, wee young girl who went into show business, she longed for a place where she could just be Jodie, which is why she's always been so private about her life. It was also a commentary on the fact that the public feels like we have a right to know all about a celebrity's private life; we don't.
Oh, I'll stop before I start rambling on here......
I'll just say i love Jodie, and I loved her speech.
But you keep us updated about all the science news, Froggy!
Thanks, Bob. You have to admit that after saying you hoped she wouldn't now be identified as gay Oscar winner that was ironic. Loved your recap!
Speaking of... science. Have a post up today of a future purchase I will have to make.
Oh, but Joy, i was actually talking about the dress, not about the person in the dress. it was a lesbian glimmer dress, not a glimmer dress worn by a lesbian!
