TV The Oscars: Hour Two
posted by on February 25 at 18:30 PM
6:31: James Taylor once kicked the back of my friend’s chair repeatedly for an entire AA Meeting.
6:33: Is it wrong that this song makes me pray that a polar ice cap melts and drowns Melissa Etheridge right now?
6:45: “Ladies and gentleman, Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Ben Affleck!” Ow.
6:49: Helen Mirren is a gorgeous goddess sent from Heaven.
6:52: Holy crap! Best adapted screenplay for “The Departed.” What a nice surprise. I was thinking this would be all “Little Children” and shit…
7:01: I want that tableau of four Queen Elizabeths for my screen saver. Also, the man pretending to be Eddie Murphy is a genius.
7:09: Sherry Lansing has had the past 89 years to prepare and memorize this speech. But no. Still, good for her. Without her, Samuel L. Jackson would’ve never been in that remake of Shaft.
7:12: Well done, Gwyneth. (I mean her looks not her talking.)
7:14: I was right about “Pan’s Labyrinth” winning at least two more awards. And yet the triumph is bittersweet. I wanted this to go to “Children of Men.”
7:16: It’s a dangerous thing when mimes form tribes.
7:23: It’s official. Helen Mirren is finally hotter than Catharine Deneuve.
7:33: The Pilobolous dance troupe turning into “Snakes on a Plane” was tremendous, and tremendously weird.
7:34: Clearly everyone but Abigail Breslin is better than Jennifer Hudson. But I want the girl who sang the great song to win!
7:36: I knew this moment would be sweet, and I was right. And that last-minute shout-out to Jennifer Holliday was righteous.
What is "green" about a $71k gift bag?
Cameron Diaz: I had that dress in 1981.
omg ben affleck is hot again.
I'd like to thank the Academy for putting that hunky seat filler next to the animated penguin. HOT.
erratic coverage, must go elsewhere
As "The Departed" won, the voiceover woman cited its basis on "the Japanese film 'Infernal Affairs'". It's from Hong Kong, but I guess with all the diversity this year it's less important to tell them asians apart.
Borat should have won for Best Adapted Screenplay.
Nat: Eep, that sucks. It's one of several such gaffes this evening.
mmmm.. Anne Hathaway...
omg gwyneth is hot! can she get back together with ben? and have some babies?
Gwyneth's dress is fugly - but I'm tickled to see she stole Nicole Kidman's hair.
gwyneth and reese are having a hair-growing race! who will win???
Gwynneth's dress is fugly, but still the best I've seen her wear to the AAs. Remember that ill fitting, boob sagging thing from the Shakespeare in Love year? Youch.
Reese will pick her big Southern teeth with Gwyneth's macrobiotic bones.
Robert Downey Jr., I'd do him.
(Add Nicole into the hair-growing race) This is the year of Brady Girl hair.
Was it just me or did Jerry Seinfeld roll his eyes at Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio??
No, he did.
Ok, I love the crazy interpretive dancers.
I wanted Children of Men to win as well. So dissapointed. =(
OH MY DAMN. yay JHud!!!!!
Ooh, Beyonce is going to be pissed.
beyonce is gonna cut her! look out jhud!!!
With Jennifer Hudson that's 2 for 3 now for Schmader no? Oh, and he's got his first treasured meltdown of the night, too.
Nice squeezin in J. Holiday at the end, but we ALL wanted to hear ya dis Simon, gurrrl
I missed it. Did Beyonce applaud for Hudson? 'Cause she's sitting (lounging) in the front row and I haven't seen her put her two hands together yet.
Watanabe..... i want watanabe...watanabe wanta be wid me?
Beyonce was the first to stand, and gave Hudson a big hug. No denying it, she's a star.
My theory to explain Pan's Labrynth's streak--that Hollywood's Mexican nannies steamed open the ballots before mailing--has been shot to hell by Lives of Others winning and the woman who actually PLAYED a Mexican nanny losing...
Anybody notice Miss Effie didn't mention the long-dead former Supreme her character was based upon? Or was she contractually bound never to mention her in public due to the differences in DREAMGIRLS' ending and the real story?
by "big hug" do you mean "shank in the side of the neck?"
Clint Eastwood, Star Interpreter
Dave, I am with you in spirit:
