No dirt at all this year. No one was drunk or falling all over the place for a change. The writer for Milk (Dustin Lance Black) got a little political and emotional, but other than that, it was very tame. Sean Penn started to get a little angry at a guy who asked an assinine question, but then checked himself and just answered it very well. (The guy asked about a protest sign outside the Kodak that said "Heath is in hell," and after snarling, "I don't know what that means," he took a breath and just said, "I think if we get used to dismissing these comments rather than commenting on them, we'll be better off. It's meanlingless gibberish.")
I got very close to Penelope Cruz and I have to say, she is even better looking in person than she is on camera.
Re the crazy guy in the picture -- just some guy at the bar. One of the many men that were hitting on every woman at the Press Room after party (mostly staff, as most of the actual press managed to get to other, better parties). No idea who he is. The guy hugging me above is Gary the sound man (no idea of his last name).

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
