Not only did he win -- he actually gave a gracious, articulate reception speech, thanking people by name and sounding genuinely tickled. This after giving a solid, soulful performance of the song in which one could understand (almost) every word. If they gave an Oscar for Most Completely Changed Performer, Bob Dylan would have two today. And best of all, he was a perfect visual contrast to the scrubbed, coutured and coiffed Hollywood crowd. I have always been an admirer of the idea of Bob Dylan, but up until now, I have not been a Bob Dylan fan. I thought it was the high point of the ceremony.
