So, those Oscars...
11/11
That's all I'm saying apart from OMGOMGSWEEPOMG!!! Hee.
Wow. Just... wow. My fandom is happy today, let me tell you. It's all hugs and love and squees. Of course I had some major fangirl moments last night. Let me share three:
1) This came onscreen while Howard Shore was being interviewed by Joan Rivers thankyouverymuch, elliciting a most undignified "OMG! THEYCAMETHEYCAMETHEYCAME!" scream from me.
2) Because there's never enough Monaboyd in the world:
3) DOMMEH!
Now, review.
So, show -- no real surprises for anyone, I presume, but enjoyable nonetheless. I do think those non-LoTR fans could have been a bit anoyed, but do I care? No. Why? BECAUSEWESWEEPED.
;)
- Billy Crystal was utterly fantastic (he MUST do the oscars every year), and that opening was the funniest thing ever. I bet lots of people cheered when the mumakil stomped over Michael Moore, eh? ;)
- Was it me, or was Renee Zellwegger talking at 78 rpm on her speech? Sheesh. Also, it annoyed me greatly she pulled out the paper from the bag. Again. Just like in the Golden Globes. So she's surprised and astonished and fabbergasted, but still has time to pull out the piece of paper out of her $5000 bag. Sorry, rant.
- The geeks earned points with their wives tonight. Exhibit A, Andrew Stanton from Finding Nemo, exhibit B, Richard Taylor from LoTR.
- Nic Cage was a bit rumpled there while presenting. Did he forget to lose the hanger? The mind boggles.
- You, Short Film Live Action Guy, STFU!
- Owen Wilson and Ben stiller were hilarious. ("It's not the Ben-Stiller-I-made-a-mistake-and-now-everyone-has-to-pay awards.") Hee.
- Annie Lennox made me cry. And she looked elvish and scary, so points for her. ;)
- The perfect girl orgy would involve Angelina Jolie, Liv Tyler, Jeniffer Garner and of course, me. How damnhotgorgeous are these women? My goodness! I was fanning myself there.
- Blake Edwards was pure brilliance. Did he actually make that, or was it a stuntie?
-
Hi, I'm Sandra Bullock, and I look like a Cheap Wedding Cake Doll!
- Beautiful homakes to Katharine Hepburn and Bob Hope. Really classy.
- See, Diane Lane has such a gorgeous body.
Why did she crush her boobs with that dress?
- I loved that shoot they made towards the audience in a tilt-up motion -- it realy felt as if they were in the theater watching a movie. :)
- Mitch & Mickey? ROCK ON.
- Please tell me somebody has the Jack Black/Will Ferrel "You're Boring" song on mp3.
- Foreign Language Film: "We're glad that The Lord of the Rings did not qualify in this category." Shut up, you whiny bitch, you have an Oscar.
- Uma Thurman, in the name of all that's holy,
WTF did you wear?
- Whee! For Sofia Coppola.
- Adrien Brody and his breath freshener. Hee.
- Most beautiful words ever from Steven spielberg: "It's a clean sweep." ;)
Now, fashion.
Ken Watanabe -- YUM.
Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan, Sean Astin and Billy Boyd -- because you can't possibly get hotter than this. Not that I'm biased.
Johnny Depp -- you wanted him pretty and dressed up? You got him.
Jude Law -- bringing some of that old glamour back.
Sir Ben Kingsley -- with lighter, more elegant shades.
Djimon Hounsou -- Gorgeous, handsome and impeccable.
Naomi Watts, aka the New Nicole -- *glomps*
Liv Tyler -- the epitome of beauty.
Chalize Theron -- with a Jean Harlow style going on that exuded "movie star."
Shohreh Aghdashloo -- Stunning in red.
Julia Roberts -- I hate her, but she looked mahvelous.
Renee Zellwegger -- Very, very nice choice. beautiful dress for her.
Jeniffer Garner -- She looked leikwoahomg.
Annie Lennox -- Very her, very elegant.
And not so hot:
Scarlett Johansson -- hated that color on her.
Catherine Zeta-Jones -- I just didn't like her. Sorry. She's so beautiful and she looked like it took 10 minutes to get her hair done, and her dress was weird. I think her look was stealed by Shohreh Aghdashloo.
Marcia Gay Harden -- Her hair looked like a wig from "Hairspray." Aaaaaiiieee.
Diane Keaton -- I know this is trademark on her, but why, oh why couldn't she wear something like she wore to the Globes?
Samantha Morton -- I'm not convinced. It's a bit like furniture fabric.
All in all, a good night for fashion -- Björk didn't show up. ;)
