The blog We Are Movie Geeks has a great recap of last Saturday's ceremony, links to videos, and lots of cool photos: http://wearemoviegeeks.com/2010/11/stars-galore-at-the-2010-governors-awards/
I think it was a good idea for the Academy to hand out the special Oscars apart from the annual televised broadcast in the spring. First of all, more indivuals are honored (in previous years they normally only gave out 1 per year). Second, the recipients are toasted by numerous collegues and loved ones, making it a more intimate affair. And finally, they get more time at the podium for their acceptance speeches.
Read more about the honorees and watch video clips from the ceremony at the Academy's official website:

I completely agree with you Tom...more individuals honored, recipients toasted by colleagues and loved ones, and acceptance speeches not rushed. A very good idea.
