Among the absent trophy nabbers were Alec Baldwin, Kevin Kline and Queen Latifah (or Ms. Latifah, as Mickey Rooney called her, instead of the proper Her Highness). We're sure they had good reasons, but still—didn't they know people were actually going to watch the show this year?
Worst Catchphrase: Is it just us, or is the saying "And the Actor goes to..." kind of confusing? It sounds like the winner had stepped out to the toilet or something.
The Durning Point: The long tribute to character actor Charles Durning was moving, though we gotta say using the movie trailer voice-over guy—you know, the fellow who does all the scary-voiced trailers—made it seem like Charles Durning was a new film coming out this spring. (Sounds like a great flick, though.)
Durning, the Sequel: Durning's response to all this adulation was perfect: "That's it?"
Most Worrisome (to TBS): You had to wonder how the network suits were feeling about the looong stretch of the show that featured hot youngsters such as Burt Reynolds, Mickey Rooney, Ruby Dee and the In Memoriam tribute. (This probably explains the random cutaways to Brangelina and Amanda Bynes.)
