The whole transmission ca 5 hrs 45 min, transmitted in Finland by Nelonen. EET 28 Feb 2005. I taped it to watch in the evening. A wonderful show, great entertainment, musical numbers could have been better, excellent special sequences, but not one of the very best Oscar galas. Johnny Carson was the best Oscar host I have seen, and Billy Crystal has been very close. Chris Rock was good. - So now we know that Charlie Kaufman exists. Other sympathetic winners: Jamie Foxx, Mar adentro, The Incredibles, Sideways. ***
