I survived from about Best Supporting Actor to Best Actress, which I consider quite a run for someone with late-stage cholera, and then I had to go back to bed. ...

Jon Stewart shines as Oscar host
Cele|bitchy — Well the verdict here at Celebitchy is that Jon Stewart did a fantastic job hosting the Oscars last night. His monologue was really funny.

Producers had a long line of prepared montages ready in case the WGA strike didn’t end. Jon jokingly showed two of them, telling the audience, ...
