Okay, you know the drill. I don't promise that I can go to the end, so someone's gotta help me.

Pre-show. Penelope Cruz: From the hips up the dres is gorgeous....hips down, wtf?

pre-show..
kate blanchett, kate winslet, and reese witherspoon looked nice

Jennifer Hudson... love her. Like the dress. Am very unclear about what that gold lame dracula bolero jackety number is supposed to accomplish.

Does Reese Witherspoon ever wear a bad red carpet dress? I think not, and it only got better since her divorce. I hope she pays her stylist well.

Steve Carell looks cute in his tux.

Did anyone watch the pre-show opening montage with the penguins etc and the Queen driving the Little Miss Sunshine VW bus? I love that crap.

"After the first one you just want to win already, am I right Peter O'Toole?"
<snerk>

Is that Jessica Rabbit?

oh oops. Nicole Kidman...no cleaveage, that's how you tell.

Seriously though, what's with that giant bow not quite on Nicole's shoulder?

WTF?


What's with the interpretive sillouhette dancers?

That's a hell of a build-up for the make up oscar.


Am I the only one who got distracted by Will Ferrell's hair?

So, anybody else wondering where the guy from Police Academy is? I think he could have done the whole sound effects thing without conductor and chorus....

uh oh...the interpretive dancers are baaaaaaack!

i thought the sound effects choir was a joke

oh probably so.

nobody laughed (except me)

I smiled, but then my ADD kicked in....

and my cold's kicking back in again. damn.

noone else is playing?

Not that there was much to play with....I dropped out for an hour and a half and I'm not sure I missed much, though I did see more interpretive dance while on the phone.

i came in late (roller derby...helluva bout too---sudden death overtime, Putas 28/Cherry Bombs 27. dammit). came in right as An Inconvenient Truth won. i actually liked the shadow dancers. happy about Forrest Whitaker, too.

Ellen seems tranquilized...

i went to bed a little after 10 .. maybe i will watch the rest tonight

Went to bed at 10:30 and the Oscars ran so long that my TIVO missed the last 4 big awards. Oh well.

you missed the Oscars cuz you were in bed at 10 & 10:30? are you the same women with whom i was eating pancakes at 1 a.m. on a Monday moring just two short weeks ago?

I didnt watch the Oscars.
It was on too Early for me....

some things are worth staying up for (especially when you don't have to work the next day)

None of the wives were nominated so on the Oscars.

Hey, Marty finally won. Shoulda won for "The Aviator". Saw "The Departed" recently, liked it better when it was known as "Infernal Affairs". But DiCaprio did great job, shoulda been nominated for it.

They need to give Christopher Lee an honorary award. There are no horror flick stars from the old days left except for Lee.

Still haven't seen "Blood Diamond" (or "Little Children")- why are they keeping my Jen Con from me?!?! But "Blood Diamond" will be on dvd next month.

Loved that Melissa Etheridge won against all of those Dream Girls songs.

I enjoyed the Oscars.

I thought Ellen did a decent hosting job. Just enough to keep things interesting. Her chat with Clint Eastwood was the best.

I was glad to see Helen Mirren win. And her gown looked stunning! Elegant, not to mention age-appropriate.

Props to Forrest Whittaker, as well. I like his acting. His speech I could have done without, but at least it wasn't too long.

Great to see Scorsese finally get a bit of Oscars recognition. Haven't seen the film yet so I can't comment on that.

I liked the montage with some of the Best Foreign Films and also thought the costume design segment was handled well.

Ares was annoyed by all the sucking up to Al Gore or, as I like to call him, Daryl Hammond. *snicker*

Well, that's my take. Until next time.
