What the hell was on the floor that Colin and someone I can't remember kept slipping on? I kept waiting for somebody to bust it. razz

I liked the way Jon Stewart let Marketa Irglova (Best Original Song co-winner--"Falling Slowly") back on stage after a commercial break for a second chance to give an acceptance speech. She barely said "Thank you" before the orchestra cut her off. I hate when they do that, unless it's Kanye. chatterbox razz

He is such a hottie!!!!!

We had a small Oscar party last night, his "acceptance" is one of the few things I actually watched! In fact, everybody there was quiet for him...

I thought DD Lewis was really sweet, too.

I think everything ended up appropriately. Except I was surprised by Tilda Swinton's win and she starting out her speach with "Oh no" wasn't very good. I was kind of surprised that Diablo Cody won because, come on, how hard is it to write a cynical, sarcastic teenage story? I bet I could do it. And her speech wasn't even witty at all. Also, I'm glad they gave Marketa Irglova a second chance at her speech...that song is beautiful. And yeah for No Country, rightly so.

I think I'm getting old because I remember the Oscars being so boring because I didn't know anybody and last night I knew everybody.

Since then, I've seen the following nominated films:

Across The Universe
Atonement
Away From Her
Beaufort
The Bourne Ultimatum
Charlie Wilson's War
The Diving Bell And The Butterfly
Eastern Promises
Gone Baby Gone
Into The Wild

No End In Sight
Once
Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End
Persepolis
The Savages

I'm gonna try and watch The Assassination of Jesse James, In The Valley of Elah and Ratatouille this weekend before the awards on Sunday night. Then I will sleep for a week straight. dead

Last year I was a slacker in watching movies, so this year I have a goal of seeing at least 100... that's 8.33333 movies per month. biggrin Starting to slack again this month though. sad So you must have gotten over your fear of going to movie theaters alone?


YES! I knew ahead of time I wasn't going to find anyone to see Diving Bell and Beaufort with me so I went alone for those and a few others. I sit near the front of the theater with the other single people. smile

I saw the last three films I wanted to see this weekend as well as The Counterfeiters. I'm happy I decided to see that one at the last minute since it won for best foreign film. Best documentary Taxi To The Dark Side slipped through the cracks so I hope it stays in theaters a few weeks longer so I can see that one too. I'll comment about the rest of the winners later.

I'm only a movie fiend in January and February. lol

They are saying this is the lowest viewed Oscars ever. What did they expect considering most people have not seen the nominated films. None of the films were showing anywhere near me.

in a blink lol

though seriously, Hal Holbrook made it to the supporting actors category for the same film, so they couldn't have NOT notice Emile.

esp. comparing his role to Clooney's.

I thought Jennifer Garner looked stunning considering she usually looks so frumpy.

I agree. A really tacky one, with earrings from Hot Topic I think. hmm And are those flats with that?!

I like her hair and make-up though. nod

I guess. But with how hipster she thinks she is you would think she could throw something Dita Von Teese/Cloe Sevigny together. Wait a minute...did she accomplish that?

I'm probably just Diabo Cody-ed out being from Mpls. and all. The oversaturation about her in the news there lately is just too much to take. disbelief

Or maybe I'm just bitter that she's more sucessful than I'll ever be. razz

It's still a bad outfit though imo. smile On the other hand, I do hate it when stars can't think for themselves anymore about what to wear/how to look because they all have stylists to do that for them. It looks she she came up with this look all on her own. lol
