Oh, Hollywood Babylon....

Julia Roberts’ Oscar blunder
March 27 -- Some Hollywood insiders think the Pretty Woman’s Oscar speech was pretty disrespectful. Julia Roberts, who presented the award for best actor, had openly campaigned for Denzel Washington to win the award. She made no secret of being overjoyed when Washington won.
During her little speech she also tried to make a joke, saying she was glad Tom Conti wasn't there. Her joke was actually directed at Bill Conti, who in past years has conducted the orchestra during the Oscarcast, and thus starts the music that's supposed to urge the long-winded recipients off-stage.
