Oscars
Keep in mind that 1)I've seen neither Brokeback Mountain nor Crash, and 2)I will always be a tweeny-bopper fangirl at heart, here is why I am glad Crash won Best Picture. When Reese Witherspoon was giving her (very cute) acceptance speech, the cameras kept showing Ryan Phillippe, and he had this expression of quiet desperation that's like "omg is she going to forget to thank me?" And when she finally thanked him, he gave this relieved little nod. But she mentioned him so cursorily in about one fifth of a sentence together with her children, and she didn't even say his name. And I felt so very, very bad for him. So, in conclusion, if Crash winning somehow makes Ryan Phillippe marginally less pwned by his wife, I am happy for Crash's win.
In other Oscar news:
~The girl who was like "And I thank the Academy for seating me next to George Clooney at the nominees' luncheon"? She rocked.
~The "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" performance. That. Last. Note. Oh. My. God. ("PIIIMMMMMPPPPPP!!!11!one!") Whatever, "Lose Yourself" was better.
~What was with all the random montages?
~I don't understand why Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Alba were presenting. They're not exactly major film stars or respected film actors. TV star, yes, for Aniston, but not film. (Yet.)
~Aww that South African guy who won for Tsotsi was cute.
~Also cute? Jennifer Garner. (Although she's more of a TV star too.)
~Was I hallucinating or was that Maggie Grace sitting next to Jake Gyllenhaal? (Um yeah I was purposely trying to see who his date was. *hides*)
~Wtf was Charlize Theron wearing?
~M. Night Shyamalan is shmexy. Also, American Express has kickass commercials.
~Jack Nicholson is also shmexy. Scary as heck and gross and old, but still shmexy.
~Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep were just scary and gross and old.
~I had forgotten that droopy-eyed guy from Ghost had died. Now I'm sad again.
~Zhang ZiYi's English got better. Yay.
~Ang Lee's still frumpy and cute. Yay.
~Jon Stewart Jon Stewart Jon Stewart. What can I say about Jon Stewart? He was good, but not spectacular (like "Osama's homobortion pot n' commie jizzporium" spectacular). Some jokes sucked, most didn't. (Dick Cheney shooting Bjork was hilarious.) I loved all of the pre-filmed clips though (Brokeback Billy Crystal/Chris Rock, Steve Martin's kids, Best Actress campaign ads, Tom Hanks getting smashed with a violin), so I am going to pretend Jon Stewart wrote those.
In other news, my IB diploma came. Lol. I guess Fleming got tired of them sitting around in her office and decided to mail them. Heh it's on sucky, thin paper, but it has embedded metallic threads and watermarks, for "security." Doom. I hope I don't lose it because right now? I don't think I know where my high school diploma is.
