Jon Stewart Plays With His iPhone and the Wii at the Oscars
Last night I was surprised to see funny man Jon Stewart whip out an iPhone during the Academy Awards. He mocked its "widescreen" capabilities while pretending to watch Lawrence of Arabia. Later in the show, Jon and singing sensation Jamia Nash had a game of Wii Tennis on the big screen.Oscar Party on Sugar!

Oscar-Worthy Gadgets: There Will Be Blood's Drilling Rig

The 2008 Geek Oscars!
Oh yeah, I'm excited about the "real" Oscars on Sunday, and the critically-acclaimed films that will take home the little men. But you know what I'm really thinking about? All the movies I really loved in 2007 for their featuring of gadgets and technology.
Oscar-Worthy Gadgets: No Country For Old Men's Transmitter/Receiver
As Anton Chigurh, Javier Bardem could be one of the scariest characters at this year's award show. Additionally, the transmitter/receiver that he used to track down the loot in No Country For Old Men could be one of the most annoying gadgets in an Oscar-nominated film. Why, you ask?
Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Atonement's Typewriter
Needless to say while writing Atonement, Ian McEwan was not contemplating ways to incorporate technology into the story. And who can blame him? Set in 1935, big inventions of that year were the "Supreme" Pedestal Hair Dryer and the Moving Coil Speaker.
Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Michael Clayton's BlackBerry
As the title character of Michael Clayton, George Clooney is stunning as a conflicted lawyer, and as that lawyer, he's outfitted appropriately with the latest gadgets and technology. Most notable is his BlackBerry, which is glued to his hand and ear and provides the picture of a modern, hardworking attorney on the case of his life. Happily for me, the BlackBerry wasn't the only tech eye-candy — in fact, there were many gadgets that played important roles in the plot.
Oscar Worthy Gadgets: Juno's Hamburger Phone
"Can you hold on for a second? I'm on my hamburger phone. It's just like really awkward to talk on."
