Who is Marva??
Once again I'm tired from staying up to watch the entire Oscar broadcast even though I was bored out of my mind. Staying up for the entire Oscar show is kind of like staying up to watch Saturday Night Live - sure it's been pretty lame every time you see it but the one time you fall asleep early you end up missing the single funny sketch that people will talk about for months.
So, a few things:
The Dresses - Yawn. When are people going to stop wearing beige? It's such a blah color. I liked Kirsten Dunst's dress and want her haircut. And Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett looked pretty good in their bright colors. But this ceremony was sorely lacking in any tutus or swan costumes. Very disappointing.
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH RENEE ZWELLEGER? She looked even more hellish than usual. Does she have some sort of skin condition? And why does she always look like she just sucked on a lemon? And did you see her walk out to present? I don't know if it was the dress or the fact that she's severely malnourished that hobbled her walk and made her look like a giraffe.
Was Beyonce the only singer in town?
I liked Hilary Swank right up until she walked on stage in her butt-crack dress and said "I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream." Maybe you can say that when you are relatively unknown and just won your first Oscar. But not when you've just won your second Oscar and go on to thank your lawyers and agents and those trainers who helped you lose those final two ounces. Oh, and don't forget your publicist!! Shit, that was bad.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Charlie Kaufman. "No, I don't want to take my time. I want to get off the stage." Thank you.
I'm kind of glad Supersize Me didn't win because that guy is kind of a smug bastard, isn't he?
I'm glad Jamie Foxx won, just so I could hear him say that love for Ray Charles was deep, down in the earth. It's cracked open. And it's spilling. And everybody's drowning in this love. And then he goes on to say how his grandma was really, really, really good at kicking the shit out of him. Take that Hilary and all your lawyers!
I thought it was kind of cute when Clint Eastwood said his wife was his "best pal." I don't know why, but it was.
Oh, and Sean Penn needs to get a sense of humor.
OK, now back to work.
