Tilda Swinton
Best Supporting Actress, 'Michael Clayton'
"I really just had a reverse 'Zoolander' moment when I think I heard someone else's name and suddenly slowly heard my own. I'm still recovering from that moment, and I have absolutely no idea what happened after that. So, you know, you can tell me my dress fell off and I'd believe you."

Ethan Coen and Joel Coen
Best Picture/Director/Adapted Screenplay, 'No Country for Old Men'

Marketa Irglova
Best Original Song, 'Falling Slowly' from 'Once'
"This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we're standing here tonight, the fact that we're able to hold this, it's just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it's possible."

Brad Bird
Best Animated Feature, 'Ratatouille'
"There's no way that I'm going to feel bad about winning an award, but, you know, if you ask me, 'Was "Snow White" one of the five best movies of 1937?,' I would say, 'Yeah, and they should have been up for one of the real Oscars rather than the one with the little, seven little men.'"

Dario Marianelli

"I feel extremely proud to be Italian." -- Marianelli, alluding to the earlier Best Art Direction victory (for 'Sweeney Todd') of fellow Italians Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavo

Robert Elswit
Best Cinematography, 'There Will Be Blood'
"It feels great. It's a wacky [feeling]. Awards are silly in that sense that all the other people nominated are so extraordinary. Roger Deakins has seven nominations and no Academy Awards. He joins a long list."

Best Foreign Film, 'The Counterfeiters'

How can you say you don't know who Daniel Day- Lewis is??? haven't you ever heard of... last of the Mohican's, Age of innocence, my left foot, In the name of the Father, the gangs of New York , The boxer, The lighter side of being, ????
Hollywood Sucks!!! I think movie viewers sent you smug idiots a message this year. "Who are these people" is exactly right. Where's the glamour, the class, the mega watt stars? Jon Stewart is not Oscar caliber for an mc. He is awesome at what he does, but fell flat at the Oscars. Where's Billy Crystal. He has class and is also very funny.I was very happy to see a few of our beautiful female stars there. Katherine Heigl won hands down for being the most beautiful, glamorous movie star at the Oscars.
re: xraygurl08's comment...... i agree!!! Johnny Depp is very gifted, very talented.. and I think the reason he gets snubbed and doesn't fit into the " upper echelon".. is because he doesn't sell his soul to hollywood to fit in. He does his own thing..and is not interested in being a part of the so called "IN CROWD".. yes there's politics in the movie industry too... you betcha. That's ok Johnny.. you won the Oscar in many of our hearts. Keep doing what ya do cuz we love ya!!
CALLING WESLEY SNIPES A B LIST ACTOR MADE ME LAUGH.IT KINDA DEPENDS ON THE GENRE YOU ENJOY.IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ACTION ORIENTATED FLICS SIMPLY DONT WATCH THEM BUT KEEP YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS WHERE THEY BELONG. IN YOUR TRAP
milkshakes? i love Daniel Day Lewis, but i dont realy understand all these milkshake refferences. does this relate back to that Kellis song?
WHERE are many of the FAMOUS actors and ACTRESSES who SHOULD have been included??
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Guess I'll have to Netflix the movies to find out.
omg Vanessa Hudgens shold have one best female singer (by the way was Vanessa.Hudgen there???)
Johnny Depp is one of the most brilliantly gifted actors of my generation, yet he is not alone in being either snubbed or grossly overlooked. James Spader is another brilliant actor who shines in any role he has undertaken. Why?
