    Oscar time is schmoozing time, and one guy looks a little busier than everyone else.

(CBS)  Stewart cracked, "For those of you keepng score at home ... Martin Scorsese, zero Oscars. Three 6 Mafia, one."

Rachel Weisz was best supporting actress, playing an activist wife in "The Constant Gardener."

She told Smith she's seven-months pregant, and she could feel the baby moving around: "There was quite a bit of adrenaline for the baby tonight. Someone told me babies bring blessings, so maybe the baby brought this (Oscar)."

Reese Witherspoon sang her way to an Oscar as best actress, playing June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line."

She told reporters later, "It was a great sort of accomplishment to just learn to stand in my own shoes ... and be proud of myself, which is different for me."

Reese had another reason to be happy: Her husband, Ryan Phillipe, is one of the stars of best picture "Crash," which ended the evening with three Oscars. So did "Brokeback," "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "King Kong."

Phillipe remarked to Smith, "What an amazing night, top see my wife up there, that last 30 minutes was just mind-blowing, man. To see her holding the Osca,r after being together ten years, and then for ("Crash") to win, it just blew me away."
