Sunday, February 25th, 2007. The 79th Annual Academy Awards - the first "green" Oscars - were held at the Kodak Theatre, presented on ABC in glorious High Definition. Ellen was funny, the gowns were beautiful, the tuxes were elegant. It's an honor just to be nominated, but what really matters is... who took home a golden statue?
