Did anyone besides me think that this year's Oscars ceremony was rather boring and akward?? In fact those are kind words, I think the whole show was awful ( Read more... )

i agree ~ i thought the whole thing was rather dry. i watched more of "casino" than i did the oscars. however, jamie foxx (BRILLIANT). i'm so glad he won and his speech was great. i knew he would talk about his grandma, he always does :)

you were watching Casino in between too?!? Never thought Joe Pesci doing his schtick would be more engaging than an Oscars ceremony.

Starr and Cathy were appalling on the red carpet pre-show. Starr mentioned "The View" about 6 times...her wedding at least once...and her fabulous microphone about one TOO many times.

Scarlott Johanssen (sp?) couldn't stop swishing her left arm back and forth as she presented one of the oscars.

Beyoncee is talented, but I still say she wasn't meant for French numbers. I didn't feel the culture come through on that song, just a soulful voice trying to be something it's not. I know I'm offending lots of Beyoncee fans, but that's just how I felt about her performances. It wasn't her...it was her acting out Oscar protocol.

Hmm...i only saw a git of the pre-show. As for Starr...girl lost a few pounds. Seeing her next to Oprah comparing weight was surreal. I didn't know that Scarlett Johanssen did that. None of the presenters were really that memorable anyway...except for...puff daddy(what the hell??).

I agree with you completey about the muscial number. I think there needed to be more diversity in terms of singers and Beyoncee didn't fit the bill. Celine Dion would have been a much more appropriate choice as she sings and emotes french music beautifully...even better than the english trip she puts out.
