Octavia Spencer won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the 84th Annual Academy Awards show. (Robert Gauthier, Los Angeles Times)
Am backstage at the Oscars, waiting for the winners to come back and start saying something entertaining. Got to have a quick word with Baltimore's own Stacy Keibler as she walked the red carpet. Octavia Spencer's acceptance was wonderfully emotional; be interesting to hear what she has to say. So far, "Hugo" seems to be doing really well, but here's betting it's about done for the evening. And now, we get to watch Cirque du Soleil nearly decapitate people. Never a dull moment...Apparently, they won't be bringing the major winners, like Spencer, backstage until the end of the show. Will keep everyone updated. Cool: "Rango" just won for best animated feature. Director Gore Verbinski, who directed all three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, should definitely stick with animation...
