As has been expected by just about everyone for the past three months, Philip Seymour Hoffman won the Best Actor Oscar for “Capote.”

Probably the most rambling speech of the night — “I’m in a category with some great, great, great actors … and I’m overwhelmed,” he said, being equally repetitive when thanking “(director) Bennett Miller and (screenwriter) Danny Futterman, whom I love, I love, I love, I love…” His homage to his mother was sweet, though.

Only five more awards to go. Barring any more montages, we should be done in under a half-hour.
