    Lots of tech goodness, awards handed to geeks while praising them, geeks getting to give speeches to other geeks who applaud them, and Scarlett Johansson struggling to pronounce what you do. What more could a geek want?

    Oh, right, having Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

    Does anyone else find it appauling that they can dedicate 4 hours to all the pretty stars, and that they can't include tech oscars in with the other oscars. It's a sad day for society when people only care about looking at pretty faces, and couldn't care less about the technology that makes the movie possible in the first place. Without the technology, we might as well just go to live plays.
