Silly oscars
It only took until 9:39 for me to turn the sound off. The Will Ferrel / Jack Black / John C. Reilly musical number was actually funny, and the buzz I got from laughing is, I think, what got me through the subsequent forty minutes. That and watching Abigail Breslin. She's so cute! Do you think, since Alan Arkin snagged the Oscar from Eddie Murphy, she'll pull a tiny, adorable upset as well?
Thoughts as they occur:
I feel conflicted about Ellen. Her hair looks great and she seems to be having a good time, but I would love for someone to break the Lesbian = Pantsuit connection.
Every time the camera flashes to Abigail Breslin, seriously, I just melt. The Fug girls say I'm not alone, that everyone's biological clock is moving forward at the sight of her. I walked out of Little Miss Sunshine proclaiming that that little girl was my hero, and it's even more true now.
Bald Jack Nicholson is even scarier than regular Jack Nicholson. Helen Mirren, on the other hand, is about thirteen times hotter than Cameron Diaz. Look at those breasts!
Al Gore is not hot at all, especially when next to Leonardo DiCaprio. How on earth did those two become friends? What do you suppose they talk about as they ride about in their supermodel-filled hybrids?
Ugliest Dress Award So Far goes to Anne Hathaway. She needs a lesson or two from HM on how to rock the rack.
Dude! Costume designer winner lady is as inarticulate as she is badly dressed. I can't understand a word and I'm weirdly fixated on her skinny bow tie. Did she just dedicate the award to Kubrick, "my great master?" Yikes. And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, Tom Cruise! ... Huh. I've forgotten how normal he can look.
Oops, gotta go turn the sound off again. It's Tribute Time.
D'you think anyone will attempt a Clinton/Obama/Geffen joke? Bets?
ETA: I have three liveblogging windows open -- WP chat, the Fug girls, and Defamer -- and I'm still insufficiently amused. Then, for my sins, CELINE DION. Watching the snow fall might be more interesting than this.
ETA 2: The Dreamgirls number woke me from my coma. Jennifer Hudson doesn't just sound amazing, she also looks great in a Jessica Rabbit-type sparkly dress. Why isn't that what she wore on the red carpet? Beyonce, by contrast, looks seems to be wearing fake hair and a dress that makes her look huge. It doesn't even match Hudson's. What gives?
