It could have been the sexiest Oscar hand-off ever, but it didn?t happen. Unlike in previous years, where last year?s Best Supporting Actor hands off the Oscar to this year?s Best Supporting Actress, Javier Bardem wasn?t there to hand girlfriend Penelope Cruz her Oscar for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. My television could have been steaming, but instead, I was happily surprised to see five previous Best Supporting Actresses hand off the award - Eva Marie Saint, Whoopi Goldberg, Goldie Hawn, Anjelica Huston and last year?s winner, Tilda Swinton (wearing make-up!).
Penelope?s speech was lovely and bilingual. Her accent gets thicker when she?s caught off-guard, I think. I didn?t understand some of it. She thanked Woody Allen, her director, and made an interesting comment that ?he writes brilliant female characters.? I had never thought about it that way, but I guess he does. She thanked Harvey Weinstein and her family, and she also thanked Pedro Almodovar, the brilliant Spanish director who has made Penelope his muse in so many films. She had a speech prepared, but it still seemed spontaneous. At the end, she even gave a Spanish thank you to (I think, if my high school Spanish serves) all of her fellow Spanish actors.
Penelope was considered one of the favorites for this award - she played a crazy, bisexual, temperamental ex-wife (to smoldering Javier) in Woody Allen?s Vicky Cristina Barcelona in a hilarious, scenery-chewing way. Even though Kate Winslet took most of the major awards for Best Supporting Actress for The Reader, Penelope Cruz had a late surge in support, as evidenced by her win at the Independent Spirit Awards, where she gave a charming speech. I thought she would win the Oscar because: 1. The Academy loves Woody and 2. Penelope?s seen as one of those actors who is ?due?.
You know what else Penelope?s win means? The power of Xenu means something in Hollywood! That?s right - Tom Cruise unleashed the power of Xenu in full support of his ex-girlfriend several weeks ago. So, in a way, Penelope?s victory is Tom?s victory, right?
Congratulations to Penelope!

Depending on your perspective on Tom Cruise?s popularity, his endorsement could go either way. But that hasn?t stopped Tom from declaring his support for Penelope Cruz for Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars. Penelope is a in a pretty tight race with Viola Davis and Amy Adams for Catholic-drama Doubt, Taraji Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler). This category is actually up in the air - no one has a really great shot at it, and will most likely be one of the big surprises come Oscar night.
So is it a polite, sweet gesture that Tom Cruise is publicly supporting his ex-girlfriend Penelope Cruz? I can?t tell. He was in Spain when he made the comments, and he?s still promoting the hell out of Valkyrie. One thing I?ll give Cruise - he really fulfills his publicity requirements to the fullest.
US star Tom Cruise said Tuesday he hopes Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, a former girlfriend, will win the Oscar for her role in Woody Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”.
“It’s fantastic. I am very excited by her second nomination. I hope she wins,” he told reporters in Madrid, where he is promoting his new film “Valkyrie,” when asked about Cruz’s best supporting actress nomination.
Cruz’s family attended the Spanish premiere of the movie, about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler, at Madrid’s Teatro Real on Tuesday, Spanish media reported.
Cruise, 46 and Cruz, 34, met on the set of the 2001 film “Vanilla Sky”.
The couple, who spent long periods apart while filming, broke up at the end of January 2004, Cruise’s sister and publicist, Lee Anne DeVette, said at the time.
In an interview published Saturday in Spanish newspaper El Pais, Cruz said she wants to leave Los Angeles and divide her time between New York and Madrid.
“After a number of years in Los Angeles, I no longer want to live here, It will be better if I share my time between New York and Madrid, where my family is,” she said.
Cruz was nominated for best actress in 2007 for “Volver,” by Spanish director and longtime career mentor Pedro Almodovar.
The 81st annual Academy Awards will be held on February 22 at Hollywood’s Kodak Theater.

I have to give Penelope some credit too - she?s never really discussed in detail what happened between her and Cruise. The rumor at the time was that they were having difficulties with the long-distance thing, and she went off with Matthew McConaughey while they were filming Sahara.
Call me an old romantic, and accuse me of buying into Tom Cruise?s career resurgence a little, but I think Tom was really genuine in publicly stating his support for Penelope. And it is sweet, in my book. Praise Xenu!
