Oscar musings. Be warned: long-winded.
-Elizabeth Banks looks classy
-Tom Ford sounds like he belongs in a cartoon
-Ryan Seacrest just practically blew James Cameron on national television, saying that Avatar "transcends all expectations." He probably doesn't understand 2 of those 3 words.
-commercials! what? more Miley Cyrus? take off your top and get killed by Greg Kinnear! I'm going to watch Dr. Tran now.
-Sigourney Weaver: not just from Avatar, but from fucking Alien. She is fantastic. She makes Seacrest look like a dwarf. haha
-Sarah just said "hun, everyone is blowing James Cameron except for his ex-wife."
-Tina Fey is so lovely and composed and knows just how to handle Seacrest, it's great. Dr. Tran time.
-"Do you think [sandra bullock's dress] is a tribute to the recent Olympics?" *facepalm* sarah: "it looks like she's wearing seran wrap with food stuck to it"
-Diane Krueger when asked to describe Tarantino:"mad...he's so eccentric...you just want to give 100%." that's code for "we had to do better than our best otherwise we would receive daily beatings"
-Sandra Bullock is wearing the wrong color lipstick. And Seacrest just doesn't know when to shut upWHAT TYLER PERRY WHATTTTT HE IS A GIANT
-TYLER PERRY WHAT. The one thing I will agree on Seacrest with: "Like you need more TV!"
-"People don't realize how good he is, cause he's actually a 5'8" white guy!" lulz!
-eww Miley Cyrus at the oscars. Stand up straight, woman.
-he has snubbed Mickey Rooney several times. The man is 90 this year, it's insulting.
-I kind of want Helen Mirren to win, just so see all the sad puppy eyes when Sandra Bullock doesn't win. There is too much hype for Sandra to win. On the other hand, there is too much hype for her to not win.
-I refuse to believe that Miley's mother couldn't get a roots touch-up before the OSCARS.
-who wants to look at Sarah Jessica Parker? the only reason Jay loves what she's wearing is because it's SJP. She could wear a burlap sack and he would call it "daring" and "shabby chic."
-Helen Mirren always looks like a giant ball of class.
-mum just referred to George Clooney as "Georgie-Porgie." XD
-Sarah on Charlize Theron's dress: "No, I don't like that. It looks like her boobs have frosting on them. I suppose men might like that..."
-I like Amanda Seyfried's dress, even if it looks like a wedding dress
-Matt Damon is doing his best to maintain his dignity whilst talking to Seacrest. it's great.
-COLIN FIRTH COLIN FIRTH COLIN FIRTH
-"You're by yourself with a bunch of guys in dresses." -George Clooney to Seacrest
-"You were cheerleading a little, but that's all right." -Meryl Streep telling Seacrest how it is.
-hearing Gabourey Sidibe refer to her dress as a "money shot if fashion was porn," which was only awkward because I'm watching with my mother. hah.
-who just told me that George Clooney never wears makeup. Ever. Which I'd believe.
-Seacrest? What are you...what are you doing?
-Robert Downey Jr: too cool for you, Seacrest.
-Gerard Butler and his accent! yay!
-Jason Bateman! You make me happy!
-WHY MUST THEY KEEP SHOWING SJP WHYYYY
-Did you just put Miley Cyrus in the same category as Meryl Streep? You hag.
-No, Seacrest, we would NOT all be happy if there was another Shrek movie.
-yay no more E! on abc now. I like Penelope Cruz's dress. a lot.
-"I like maggie gyllenhaal in theroy but not in practice." -Sarah
-every part of SJP is terrifying.
-HELEN MIRREN! COLIN FIRTH!!
-Talking to mum about how the Oscars really don't mean jack shit in terms of how influential and important films are. For further reference see the following Cracked article: http://www.cracked.com/article_18460_5-reasons-oscars-matter-even-less-than-you-thought.html
-NPH!!! awesome.
-ALEC BALDWIN YAY YAY YAY YAY and Steve Martin tagging along for the ride lol
-"It combines two of your favorite things: rugby, and tension between blacks and whites." -Alec <3
-Steve Martin, you do try so very hard XD
-I'm kind of tiring of this whole "let's point out audience members and talk about them" schtick.
-"Clooney looks like he put out a hit." -Sarah
-Miley Cyrus, stand up straight.
-is this whole "let's read sections of the screenplay" thing new? Sarah says no. Somehow I've always missed it. I enjoy it.
-I wanted to see A Serious Man so badly. But it never came to Mt Pleasant because we suck.
-awwwww John Hughes. You shall be missed. <3
-oh Ben Stiller. You're silly. CREEPY EYES.
-Rachel McAdams's dress looks like a Cezanne painting
-Yay Precious, but stop encouraging Tyler Perry. I loved how she thanked Hattie McDaniel though. Good speech.
-YAY TRIBUTE TO HORROR MOVIES COMING UP :D
-Sigourney Weaver is awesome. I love her.
-why, why must we see more of SJP?
-I liked the costumer's speech. A lot.
-Paranormal Activity parody ftw!!!
-Taylor, honey, you're not in a horror movie
-I wonder if James Cameron is at all bitter about losing these sound awards to his ex-wife's movie.
-I don't care what my friends say, I like Inglourious Basterds. That's what's so wonderful about living in a country where we are allowed to have differing opinions about things.
-uh-oh, dead people tribute. This will be a super long one. Also, James Taylor is old.
-sad they didn't include Brittany Murphy
-OOH DANCING FOR EACH MOVIE. THIS IS FUN :D That was really cool.
-YAY UP!! Though from what I heard of it, the Avatar music was cool. The Up music was beautiful though. Good speech.
-Bradley Cooper, what are you doing on television? haha. Gee, I wonder who will win for visual effects? SHOCKER but well-deserved.
-screw you I will NOT welcome Tyler Perry.
-Quentin Tarantino, you shut your filthy mouth and never open it again.
-"I want to thank the Academy for not considering Naavi a foreign language, first of all...."
-haven't we already established that Avatar is only the 14th-largest grossing film of all time after inflation is factored in? Sarah and I are now having an involved discussion about all of this. It's refreshing.
-COLIN FIRTH
-Kate Winslet, you are the epitome of class and sophistication.
-Helen Mirren...the actual queen of England.
-Would you look at that, Sandra got herself an Oscar!
-Babs, you wore that to the Oscars? Yikes.
-"The set is church, he is God, and there will be no heretics allowed." -Brad Pitt on Tarantino
-awww yay Kathryn Bigelow!!
-annnnnnd The Hurt Locker won! Wouldn't have seen that coming if it hadn't been for Kathryn winning just now. Kind of thought Precious might have gotten it, but really wasn't sure since I hadn't seen many if any of the nominated movies.
Wellllllll that was fun! Good for you, Bigelow! I wish there had been more Alec and Steve though :(
Off to see movie wedding dresses tomorrow at the Somerset Collection, if all goes well!
