I'm so excited that they won... and that Jake won individually!

I hear that. This fun bit of news has stoked my whole day - especially if I just let it slide by a frame at a time.
Ellemeno:
Whaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaa :(
[Ellemeno cries I-Love-Lucy-style that there was no kiss between the two men who portrayed Our Boys.]
Looking forward to that kiss is why I handled the Oscar disappointment with aplomb. Everyone told me it would never happen, but I had hope in my heart. I'm glad to read all your big whoo hoos and all, it helps, but does anyone besides me feel seriously disappointed that they didn't follow the tradition of recreating the kiss?
[Ellemeno hangs her head, bereft.]

Naw, not me - I don't care to see Heath kissing Jake - and that's what you would have seen had they re-enacted the kiss.
I'm really glad for the recognition they got. It would have been nice to see the two together again, but the kiss ... no! It would have to be Ennis & Jack and that can't ever happen again.

This is just the way I feel about it. I actually would have been kind of perturbed if they *had* done it, if that makes any sense. Not just in this case, but especially in this case, I think the re-enactments degrade the films just a little bit. That said, I would have loved to see them together onstage. But in a pinch, I'll take Jake alone. Any time.

I completely agree with this view. I would have cringed. Not that I would have seen it -- no cable. (True, as David pointed out, I could have caught it on the internet, but if I knew they had kissed I would not have watched.)
Barb, when it comes to Heath and Jake, you and I are like Jack Spratt and his wife. We'd get along perfectly!
