81st Oscars 10:41 p.m.

This feels like it's zipping by. Although: I'm a little desperate for something to make up for Luhrmann's train-wreck. It's already time for the Jerry Lewis tribute (is it really after 10:30? ) Eddie Murphy is presenting Lewis his Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Lewis looks great, more like himself than I can remember. If only the clip show had been longer. It barely exceeded the length of his short, sweet speech.

  1. I agree with it being a very sweet speech...and he is a true humanitarian but for the lenght of the clip show....well how many clips can you show of Jerry doing silly faces. Indeed....that's all he really ever did. His body of film work is pretty limited.
