OK, I admit I watched a little bit, particularly at the start. A couple of reactions: 1) The gay cowboy montage was funny. 2) I think Rosie Grier's head is hiding under Charlize Theron's shoulder strap. 3) When Chicken Little and the Ugly Duckling came out, my five-year-old sat up, eyes wide, and said, "No way!" I've never heard her use that expression before. 4) It didn't win. I couldn't (just couldn't) watch the ceremony at that point, but I saw a comment in the PJM live blog alerting me to the fact. So at least there's that.
I haven't seen any of the Best Picture nominees, nor many others on the other lists, either (maybe none of them -- oh wait, saw Narnia...and Wallace & Gromit) That's about all. #4 kept me most in suspense, anyway. Now that that's over, I'm pretty much done.
Oh, and don't miss Terry Teachout's review of Good Night, and Good Luck (PDF) (via Roger L. Simon and PowerLine)
