But it was absolutely worth it for Ben Stiller (who I'm normally not a big fan of) in Na'vi makeup, Robert Downey Jr.'s "pasty mole people" comment, and Neil Patrick Harris' glorious sparkly tuxedo.
I have managed to see exactly none of the nominated films this year (well, one - Up was nominated), so had no dog in the race and no idea what was going on for most of the show, but I still would not have called Sandra Bullock winning Best Actress, especially since despite everyone who's seen it assuring me that The Blind Side was Quite Good the trailers made it look Velveeta-cheesy. I kind of wanted Gabourey Sidibe to win, actually, because it was her first starring role and that would have been perfect.
But mostly what I took away from the ceremony was "omg Sigourney Weaver and Queen Latifah. ILU. Call me." And possibly "I cannot wait for the GFY blog, Intern George has gotten so much camera action tonight."
Other irrelevance: The Girl Scouts have not discontinued Samoas. My life has meaning once more.

Still, though. Sparkly tuxedo. Worth it.
