Ellen DeGeneres turned in a stellar and sly comedic performance at the Oscars. Another Oscar delight was Robert Downey, Jr., who quipped: "Visual effects: They enable us to see aliens, experience other universes, move in slow-motion, or watch spiders climbing high above the city landscape." (a beat) "For me, just a typical weeknight in the mid-Nineties." 02/16/2007 - Forest Whitaker - OSCAR WINNER- The Last King of Scotland Photocall in Rome - Eden Hotel - Rome, Italy © Insidefoto / Photorazzi
