Oscar Documentary Winner

Charles Ferguson got in a nice shot during his acceptance speech for his film, "Inside Job." Referring to the financial meltdown, he said, "Not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that's wrong."

And a Tweet from an admirer:

"Thank u Charles Ferguson 4 pointing out not a single Wall St crook has gone 2 jail! And to the audience for applauding!" #theydontbooanymore

4. I was soooooo happy he won!

Def lots of applause in the peanut gallery -- my fave time ever going to the show was standing up and applauding Michael Moore when he won for Bowling for Columbine! Although it was reported that he got booed I did not see anybody booing.

5. Quote by the cineamtographer who won for Inception:

“I think that what is going on in Wisconsin is kind of madness right now,” Pfister says. “I have been a union member for 30 years and what the union has given to me is security for my family. They have given me health care in a country that doesn’t provide health care and I think unions are a very important part of the middle class in America all we are trying to do is get a decent wage and have medical care.”
