Trust Us, It Won't: A generation of young boys--just like the ones who performed with Beyoncé on the show--are going to grow up with the false hope that singing in a boys choir will allow them to meet women like her.

So Many Stars, So Few That Can Sing: How else do you explain Beyoncé performing three nominated songs on the show. Seriously, Prince was just sitting there looking bored. Couldn't they have asked him?

Trophy Husband: Chad Lowe, who got misty-eyed even when wife Hilary Swank started thanking her agents, lawyers and publicist, is either a very good actor himself or just very, very sensitive.

Seriously, What Would a Bunch of Entertainment Industry People Be Doing in the Bathroom Together? If the Academy is worried about filling seats in multiplexes across the country, maybe it could start by doing a better job filling the seats at the Oscars during the some of the audience shots. Are we supposed to believe that everyone needed to use the bathroom when it was time for Animated Short award?

Biggest Letdown: Trotting out Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand--and introducing them as the stars of Meet the Fockers--to hand out the Best Picture award. Weren't they in good movies, too?

Anyway, Check the Label: Was Johnny Depp secretly rooting for Jamie Foxx? Because it looked like he was wearing one of Ray Charles' old suits, and that's just the sort of thing he would do. Wouldn't he?

Best Way Not to Get Played Off: Winner Jan A.P. Kaczmarek thanked the musicians and, surprisingly, got to finish his speech without having the orchestra come swelling up.

But Martin Scorsese Was the Sentimental Favorite: Chris Rock declared that John Travolta was "Oprah's favorite white man."
