Thread: The Oscars

    I just started watching a little bit ago. I LOVED the Cirque Du Soleil bit. I thought I hadn't seen any nominated movies because I don't get to see grown up movies anymore. Imagine my surprise when Rango won an Oscar.

    Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman, but when she struck that pose I thought it was a bit much, and thought I'd pee my pants when the guy mimicked her during his acceptance speech.

    When she walked on stage her ass looked huge. Like a cartoon spider.

    I had to laugh when J Lo was quoting Edith Head while wearing THAT dress. I can't think Edith would have approved.

    Yay for Christopher Plummer!


    AS for the in memorium:So glad that they saved the last spot for Liz and didn't give it to Whitney. and so sad seeing Norman Corwin in it. The name means nothing to most; but he was a personal hero, and I actually have a letter from him, handwritten and signed. He was so cool.

    I think she wouldn't be nearly as interesting or relevant if she hadn't hooked up with Brad. Am I the only person who can't look at them without thinking of how they got together?? I wonder if I will ever see them as a couple.

    The help was a better movie than the artist. I've seen all but warhorse, and imho, the artist won on gimmick.

    I have to say that I am glad that Meryl won over Viola Davis. Viola was excellent, but I don't consider her role a leading part. She should have been nominated in the supporting category.

    Meryl, on the other hand, was in practically every scene of "The Iron Lady."

    It felt old school, and I liked that. I think they were really trying to get back to the glamour of Hollywood. I also liked the bit parts between awards where the celebrities would speak about their first movie etc. Made it more human. It was nice. :-)

    I was watching the after parties and I have to say my heart broke a bit watching Quincy Jones. He seemed pretty confused. He also didn't look to well physically.

    I was happy Meryl won again - finally. She's done A LOT of great movies over the years since her last win back in the 80's and should have got the award a few times over since then. Tonight was her night!

    I was also glad Paradise 3 lost and cheered when "Undefeated" won instead - altho I never saw it! LOL

    Octavia Spencer was pure definition of "gratitude" when she won hers for supporting actress.

    Entertaining ...

    Cirque was terrific, as was Billy Crystal's introduction. I haven't seen Iron Lady or The Help, so that leaves me out in conparing roles and actor's. What I did love was Meryl's acceptance, thanking her husband, and the appreciation of friends and family.

    Angelina Jolie was as bizarre as ever, appeared drunk or on drugs. She looks like a wax figure, bony face and body, no musculature, highly unappealing.

    I have The Help on DVD. Love it. Love the movie, the characters, the cars and the costumes.

    I haven't seen any of the others.

    Does anyone know the name of the dark haired woman in the red dress sitting behind Glenn Close? I feel like I should know who she is, but I can't think of her name.

    I enjoyed the Oscars this year. Billy Crystal did a fantastic job. When Angelina stuck out her bony white leg I laughed so much I think the neighbors heard me. I do like her though.

    The Oscars "in memoriam" montage

    It's a jungle out there...

    I'll stick with TCM's yearly tribute.

    Well you want the names to be recognizable enough that there's clapping and not whispered "who the fuck is that?"

    Sometimes they will say: please wait until
    all the names are finished before your
    applause.

    More then a few people never seem to listen.

    The "In Memoriam" is my favorite part of the
    Academy Awards.

    The exclusion of Harry Morgan was egregious, as was the exclusion of Dorothy McGuire. She had the unmitigated gall to die before two days after 9.11, thus insuring she'd deemed unimportant to the Academy.

    Question Oscars "In Memoriam" 2013

    Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron looked angry over the I Saw Your Boobs song.

    Or shocked.

    Do you think Naomi and Charlize and the others were informed in advance of this really not so funny song, and they just went along with it, looking upset intentionally? Charlize was in the dance number associated with that song, wouldn't you think she would have heard it at rehearsal?

    And what happened to the back of Jennifer Garner's dress. She looks like a stegosaurus.

    Right now Anne Hatheway is annoying to me, but I'm sure in a few months I'll see Princess Diaries on tv and get over it.
    Sandra Bullock looks perfect tonight.

    I agree. Yikes!! I found alot of the dialogue through out the night to be hard to follow. Maybe I was just having a hard time getting into it this year. It lacked some magic for me. I thought the Jaws theme playing when someone's speech time ran out was waaaaaay rude!!

    We should have watched this together because I feel the same way about Anne and I don't know why. I also would prefer to never see or hear Halle Berry ever again!!

    What the hell was wrong with Renee Zellweger, she looked wasted and it looked like she tried on a fancy dress with no makeup or jewelry. What's the deal with her these days, she hasn't made a movie in awhile.

    Jennifer Lawrence's dress? Love!

    Does anyone know why Ben Affleck wasn't nominated for Best Director? Apparently the last time this happened was in 1989 with Driving Miss Daisy, and only happened two other times in Hollywood history. Do they not like him, and if not, for what reason?
    Any day above ground is a good day.

    Am I the only one who thought a lot of the celebrities (Miss Hathaway especially) looked MUCH better while performing on stage than they did on the red carpet?

    I don't know why people are always hating on Anne Hathaway. I quite like her nipples. The rest of her isn't bad either - and she can sing, too.

    I'm a huge Anne fan! I was just disappointed in the dress she chose for the evening because she usually looks so impeccable! She also seems like she'd be a very nice person in real life!

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was just the way her dress was made lol.

    Those were definetly some ill-placed and aggressive darts and not nipples and that's what made the dress so disappointing to me. It looked like a home-ec project and not like something Prada would make. However, the dress she was sporting during the Les Miserable performance was beautiful and I almost wish she had worn that instead!

    Actually, that would have been pretty awesome if vinegar and baking soda started shooting out whenever she won haha.

    Tommy Lee Jones was robbed. I haven't even seen Lincoln. But I love Tommy Lee Jones. Therefore, he should always win everything.

    I loved the "Von Trapp" sketch. That was so cute.

    Also.... I know the theme was music in film, but I think leaving Marvin Hamlisch until the end of the segment was just an excuse to let Babs wail on stage. I would have put Borgnine at the end.

    The "In Memoriam" section also left out Ben Gazzara and Oscar-nominee Susan Tyrrell. They should just borrow TCM's reel - they always do a much better job.

    Kristen Stewart was wearing my living room drapes

    I predict that the SVP in charge of Dart Placement On Bodices at Prada will be signing up for unemployment today.

    That tart from Real Housewives of Cornshucker County should have been arrested for soliciting. That's one of the most horrific dresses ever seen at the Oscars and I'm includin' Bjork, Demi Moore *and* Edy Williams when I say that.

    For my money, one of the most beautiful (and beautifully dressed) women last night was Fan Bingbing. Plus, I love it that she has a built-in "James Bond" heroine name!
