Pop! Quiz: What did you think of the newer, gayer Oscars? Plus, our game results!

So you may have heard that last night the 81st Academy Awards ceremony was held, and it was a big ol' mess of gay up in the Kodak Theater. Thanks in large parts to the directorial hand of out filmmaker Bill Condon, the presence of Milk as a multiple nominee and the occasional presence of Hugh Jackman as the singing, dancing, jazz-handing host, the affair was much gayer than usual and overall very different from past ceremonies.

So here's a poll asking what you folks thought of the revamped affair. And to wrap up all things Oscar, let's take a look at the results of our Oscar BINGO card, and the answer to our Oscar Acceptance Speech Mad-Lib!

First, the poll!


We did a pretty good job with the BINGO, and actually I was so busy during the liveblog that I probably missed a few of the squares, so correct me if I'm wrong here. But we definitely had at least two Hugh BINGOS.

 

As for the Mad Lib, we asked you to submit words to complete this list:

1. PLURAL NOUN 
2. ADJECTIVE 
3. FAMOUS PERSON 
4. ADJECTIVE 
5. NOUN 
6. PLURAL NOUN 
7. NOUN 
8. FAMOUS PERSON 
9. NOUN 
10. FAMOUS PERSON 
11. NOUN 
12. NOUN 
13. NOUN 
14. PLURAL NOUN 
15. NOUN 
16. VERB
17. VERB

And here's the speech we whipped up for winner Sean Penn ahead of time (we also had one for Mickey Rourke, in the event of an upset):

First of all, it's an honor to be nominated in the company of such fine 1. PLURAL NOUN who did such amazing work in such 2. ADJECTIVE films. When I decided to take the role of 3. FAMOUS PERSON a lot of people said that it was too 4. ADJECTIVE a part. But (3. FAMOUS PESON) was all about 5. NOUN. He was fearless, and he never let anything get in the way of his 6. PLURAL NOUN. Working on this movie was a 7. NOUN come true, and I can't thank my director, 8. FAMOUS PERSON, enough for his patience and 9. NOUN. I'd also like to thank my co-star, 10. FAMOUS PERSON, who brought such sensitivity and 11. NOUN to his role that at points I forgot that he wasn't actually my 12. NOUN.
 
But most of all I'd like to thank the people out there who continue to go to the 13. NOUN to see challenging 14. PLURAL NOUN like this one. In the end I'm just an 15. NOUN doing his job, and you are really the people that I 16. VERB it for. So for that, I 17. VERB you.

So, to use the list submitted before the show by Mike, here's his speech:

First of all, it's an honor to be nominated in the company of such fine elephants who did such amazing work in such chesty films. When I decided to take the role of Brad Pitt a lot of people said that it was too youthful a part. But Brad Pitt was all about backpack. He was fearless, and he never let anything get in the way of his pogo sticks. Working on this movie was a toe-sock come true, and I can't thank my director, Jake Gyllenhaal, enough for his patience and brother-child. I'd also like to thank my co-star, Jason Long, who brought such sensitivity and Brit to his role that at points I forgot that he wasn't actually my back-scratcher.
 
But most of all I'd like to thank the people out there who continue to go to the box to see challenging Bibles like this one. In the end I'm just a bedside table doing his job, and you are really the people that I march it for. So for that, I eat you.

Sooooo basically it was exactly like the speech he gave. Oh I kid, I kid!
