Bwahahahahahahahahah!!!
Editing my userinfo, I discovered that I have TWELVE interests completely unique to me!!! See? I KNEW I was an original! :P
Anyway, Oscars. Yes, Rhonda stayed up to watch them live, from 12.50 to about 5 am GMT. (I lay down and shut my eyes during what, in America, were the ad breaks, and what, on the BBC, was Jonathon "I can't pwonounce my R's" Ross talking with Alistair McGowan, Ronni Anconi and Rob Brydon.) Yay, LotR got Best Film!!!! And there I was being cynical.
However, while I believe that it deserved Best Film, I don't think it deserved everything it got. For instance, in my opinion, Best Song should have gone to "Scarlet Tide" or "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." And there should be a prize for Best Performance of an Oscar-nominated Song at the Award Ceremony, cos that would have gone to "Belleville Rendez-vous." Feather boas! Chorus singers! Funky dancing! Frenchmen playing the bicycle! That's what we want from our Oscars! (BTW, Americans: what's with renaming that movie "The Triplets of Belleville"? What was wrong with "Belleville Rendez-vous"?)
Funniest bits: Billy Crystal's film montage and song medley at the beginning, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson's two-hander (both pre- and during the show), Robin Williams, the "what they're really thinking" bit ("Pusshy Galore... I jusht got it! That'sh VULGER!"), and Adrian Brody and his breath-freshener.
Person I wanted to slap the most: Charlize Theron. Shut up. Just... shut up.
And: was Bill Murray really upset about the Best Actor Oscar? I didn't think he looked it, but everyone was talking about how mad he was.
On a completely different note, happy St David's Day!
