From what I saw she did great but I missed the first 30min or so of the show she did, okay...but her shtick of showing us behind the scenes crap and talking to the audience is tired. this is the one night for top notch glamour and she somehow turns the Oscar's into an extension of her own show. it just didn't feel right to me.. and it didn't help that they had fifty million montages and those momentum killing shadow dancer thingies...it was all way too much. if they had kept the montages to the sound orchestra, the foreign film tribute and the opening nominee thingie (which I thought was great) and the tribute to the two special oscars and thats it then maybe i wouldn't have minded Ellen's sillyness...but it was all just too long...and i started to get annoyed everytime she did something...i was about ready to throw my shoe at the screen when she walked out with that vaccum. You didn't like it when she told Spielberg about his camera framing?? That shit was funny Thanks for the recap, doesn't sound like I missed much... | |

Gosh I was on vacation during the Oscars and thought I'd learn a lot
by reading this thread....I didn't learn anymore than I already knew, and that was by bits and pieces I overheard afterwards... Seven pages ppl....seven pages.... | |
