oscar round-up
A couple of thoughts/questions from last night's telecast:
1. Okay, so I know I'm like gay and crap but whoo boy, I have to say that I dig the George Clooney. I mean, yes, he's got the whole ridiculously attractive thing going on and everybody loves him for that but really, that speech of his last night was just awwwwwww!-inspiring. That sent me over the edge into all-out Clooney love. He was articulate, classy and humble. And best of all, he was brief... which is more than I can say for the people who win the technical awards. Man those people can yammer.
2. The scene from Crash when Matt Dillon violates Thandie Newton was hard enough to take the first time I saw it. I really didn't need to see it re-enacted -- through interpretive dance! -- by a couple of look-alikes. Did I mention it was incorporated into a dance number?! What was the choreographer's notes for that, I wonder? I mean, what the hell?
3. Charlize Theron, why so glum?
4. I won $30 in an Oscar pool! I've come close before but this is the first time I ever won... albeit in a three-way tie for first place. But I don't care! Crash as Best Picture and "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" fucked us all up.
5. Speaking of fucked up... Uh, where did Dolly's ribcage go? And did she, in fact, slide the fat from her ass up into her breasts? The woman has no kiester whatsoever. Had a clip from 9 to 5 not been shown in one of the night's 52 montages, perhaps I wouldn't have noticed but the juxtaposition of the 80s-era Dolly with the current one looked like a before and after Trim-Spa ad.
And was she wearing boots or shoes? They looked a bit boxy and NASA-like to me. Now that I think about it, she sort of resembled a Lego action figure or something. Not a good look on anyone, really.
6. Thanks again for hosting a great party, JS and AD! I love you guys... and not just because you had chocolate cupcakes on hand.
