Stiller was spot on. I thought he was very funny.

Good for Stiller. Someone was
brave enough to show how ridiculous Joaquin Phoenix has
become. He never missed any of
the antics the former actor has
been doing since he became a "Singer?"

Mr. grim, there is a video provided with this article. Check it out. When I saw Ben Stiller do the impersonation I laughed and thought it was very funny. In retrospect, I am not sure the Oscar ceremonies were the most appropriate format for the skit. Joaquin seems to be a very sick man right now. He is a former Oscar nominee. So Oscar producers, I say it would have been nice to have shown some restraint. In and of itself, the impersonation was spot on and hilarious.

It was one of the best parts of the show, imho. Stiller is one funny man.
