Initial Thoughts...

Not quite the total trainwreck I expected but it was definitely far from "good".

+Change "and the winner is..." back to "AND THE OSCAR GOES TO..." Now. Good on Kate Winslet for saying "and the oscars goes to..." That's right, Kate. Fuck that shit.

+GO BIGELOW and LMAO at Babs giving it to her.

+LOL - The supporting acting clips were like trailers for the performances. I thought only Christoph's worked, the rest sucked ass.

+Why does George Clooney seem like a real ass tonight?

+Martin and Baldwin were totally forgettable. Some funny stuff, though. "Who doesn't like Sandra Bullock? Tonight, we might find out."

+Way too fucking many people cut off. Way too many. Yeah, let's cut to random people in the room after cutting them off.

+Everyone should text dolphin to that Cove guy's number to spite the producers.

+Horror Montage - hey, I kinda liked this. But I would.

+The leading acting tributes was kinda nice. Too long though. LOVED LOVED LOVED seeing Julianne and Michelle. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. And La Pfeiffer and La Moore looked AMAZING.

+Ok - that opening with NPH. It was forgotten the second it ended.

+The other dancing to the scores - Ok, yeah, it was technically good dancing. But that fucking shit had NO PLACE here. NONE. WHATSOEVER. I really hope the standing ovation doesn't get to Adam Shankman's head - it will! - because it was only for the dancers. That will probably be remembered as the worst part of the night's show. It didn't even go with any themes of the films. SERIOUSLY - WHAT. THE. FUCK?????

+And something else that was, in theory, nice: the John Hughes tribute. But again - why do this for him when you have nothing for anyone else? Consider that Katherine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Ingmar Bergman, Robert Altman only got a few words mention and they were people that changed cinema. They didn't get their own tributes. And then dragging out cast members of his movies - most of whom looked they came from some VH1 reality show - was really awful.

All this, only at the OSCARS!

Best part of the night, really: Sandra Bullock made me cry. Seriously. I'm actually glad I didn't watch this with anyone but I had tears running down my cheeks at the end of the acceptance speech. And no, it wasn't because she was so undeserving, it was because it was a genuine, emotonal speech. She may not deserve an Oscar for being Hollywood's Miss Congeniality, but damn if that moment wasn't what the Oscars are all about.


In regards to the fashion, well....

That was the most bizarre red carpet I've ever seen.


More Tomorrow!
