Very happy to see Jerry Lewis getting an award. Not only has he been the inspiration behind so many comics, but he was one of the first to give his name and time to a disease that had been largely ingnored prior to him. Nice to see a celebrity who uses his celebrity to pay it back.

I hope Wall-e Wins for Original score

^Slumdog just won. It has been racking up all the Original Score awards in other award shows also.

pshh, figures it goes to slumdog. Button and Millionaire are steamrolling over everyone. disappointing.

I hope Wall-e Wins for best Song then - Down to Earth rocks. I'm not a big fan of O Saya, but I do like Jai Ho.

I love Down to Earth! It's disappointing that the guy who sang it is boycotting the show though. But here's John Legend to sing it! I like the guy's music.

I'm enjoying the Original Song performances.

Peter Gabriel is there, just not singing the song

Oh I see. Do you know the full details? I just knew that he was boycotting something.

I wish they would have kept the best Original Song performances as single performances, rather than as a medley.

That's why Peter Gabriel would not perform

Aw, Down to Earth lost.

Slumdog continues its steamroll.

S.M. has only lost one award so far. I kinda feel bad for whoever was nominated for S.M., then lost, and then saw their peers win.
