Now I thought that this year's show was horribly dull. It was worse tha the one where they wouldnt even let the winners come to the stage. Ellen didn't even dance! But it did have it's moments. Like the Will Ferrell, Jack Black, and John C Reilly performance. Or Al Gore "announcing" his candidacy for the 08 election. There were other moments, but this entire telecast just lacked zazz. I mean is there a bigger geek moment then Marty walking off stage with Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg?
What do you guys think of the winners? And for those who watched what did you think period?
