Last night, Jon and I stayed up till the wee small hours of Monday morning to bring the 83rd Academy Awards to you live as it happened. You can see the fruits of Jon’s labour right here as he provided a commentary while I was on Twitter conversing with anyone else who happened to be watching the extremely drawn our commercial ridden ABC broadcast!
