On the red carpet!

[hellziggy]

OK, we let the Tivo give us a bit of a head start on the Oscar pre-show & Oscars.
My reactions as I watch will be here,

~Javier Bardem looks sooo much better w/o the No Country For Old Men hair!

~Katherine Heigl looks BEAUTIFUL!

~There's Jennifer Garner. Where's her hubby! Where's Ben?!?!

~Neither Daniel Day-Lewis nor his wife look that good. What's up with the red bows on her dress?

~Ellen Page looks adorable! I LOVED Juno! I want it to win, but know it won't.

~I just don't really like Hillary Swank. Also, she kinda looks like a transvestite.

~Regis, we don't care about these dancers. Get back to the celebrities!

~Poke. Hey Regis, the camera is on.

~and now, the main event!

~the animation was kind of cool, but I hope it's not replacing the opening skit. :(
stoopid writer's strike!

~*sigh* I love you, Jon Stewart!

~Javier Bardem looks kinda like Jeffery Dean Morgan.

~Make-up sex with Jon Stewart!!! hee hee

~This year's slate of Oscar nominated psychopathic killers. :)

~"Thank god for teen pregnancy!"

~How many minutes in, and Jon's already made a Hilary joke, and a jew joke. Yes, I love Jon.

~Hee! Stripper names! Mine is Charlie 161st Ave.

~Jennifer Garner's hair definitely looks like she had a bit of a tumble in the back seat with Ben on the way to the show!!

~Jon Stewart in bed with George Clooney was priceless.

~My boyfriend! The world needs more Ben Affleck!

~No! Stop the Celine Dion "music"!!!

~Jon has an iPhone. "Oh, those are camels."

~Steve Carrell! And Anne Hathaway's dress is pretty, other than the flower thingy.

~And Rattatoulie got it. That's the only one of the three I've seen, and I liked it!

~I can't believe Norbit is up for an Oscar!

~OK. I find this first nominated song a bit annoying!

~The Mastercard commercial with the guy's right eye was CREEPY!!!!

~I admit to having a fondness for Dwayne Johnson/The Rock. He's hot and has an adorable smile.

~Cool. Golden Compass was very purty.

~Damn! Hope Cate Blanchette doesn't give birth on stage!

~Yum! Johnny looks good!

~That dress is doing weird things to Jennifer Hudson's boobs!

~Go, l'il Affleck brother, go! (not that he stands a chance against Javier, but still...)

~Yup, Javier got it.

~Huh. Owen Wilson is out of "I tried to kill myself" treatment.

~Having the bee from Bee Movie was annoying, the 'my previous work' montage was amusing.

~Bringing the Peter & the Wolf doll was kinda cute.

~Well, Tilda was totally shocked.

~But she's so not pretty. Too severe and mannish. Incredibly pale & red hair combined with ugly black dress = ick!

~Fun speech though!

~Even pregnant Jessica Alba is hot. :) Gorgeous dress too.

~I just really don't like the musical numbers. And the bodice of her dress is sticking out about 2 inches from her chest. Looks weird!

~Seth Rogan and the other dude as Halle Berry & Dame Judy Dench was pretty cute.

~Oooh. Time for best actress. I really want Ellen Page to win. She won't though.

~Wii tennis! Cute!

~I alternate between thinking that Colin Farrell is kind of adorable, and thinking that he annoys me.

~Super old guy is boring me!

~I have seen so few of the movies this year, it's not even funny! I've seen none of the foreign language ones.

~*sigh* another song. At least it's the last one.

~Damn. I can't believe they didn't even let the chick from the Once song say anything!

~Have I mentioned how much I love Jon Stewart? Hooray for bringing the chick out to say her thanks!

~And we've caught up to live!

~Please let Juno win!

~And Juno wins! Yay!

~Daniel Day-Lewis wins. No surprise there.

~Coen's get director. No surprise there.

~No Country for Old Men gets best pic. No surprise there.

~And we're done. The writer's strike certainly affected this show. It was all freakin' montages.

So, two things. Firstly, how did I not know that Regis Philbin is a circus freak? Secondly, who writes the music for this stuff? Do they have a cheese shop that is dangerously overstocked.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Re: Regis Philbin. You get a pass on not knowing 'bout Regis since you're British and all.

[dibsy.livejournal.com]

Like you get an exemption from knowing about Terry Wogan. You lucky devil.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Who? *grin*

[tx-cronopio.livejournal.com]

Hee, my porn name is way better than yours...Kelly Keats!

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my porn name sucks!

[genevra.livejournal.com]

You could always use Charlie County Road 20. It still sucks, but not quite so much.

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

Mine is Bobby Joe Cedar!

[dibsy.livejournal.com]

It's amazing. I went from not knowing who Katherine Heigl is to knowing what she looks like naked within the space of about 30 seconds. The internet is such a glorious thing.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

The internet is indeed a glorious thing! :)

[dibsy.livejournal.com]

If you or your fella need to know....

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Damn. She is hot!

[dibsy.livejournal.com]

Hotter than lesbian lava.

[mcbarnes1970.livejournal.com]

Looks fake, but hot!

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

But...but...it's on the internets so it *must* be real! ;)

Jon has been funny tonight. i lurve him.
The Rock does have an adorable smile.
Javier does look a lot like JDM.
i adore Javier and i'm so happy he got the Oscar.
Hilary Swank soo looks like a tranny.
i also love Tilda, but looked really wan tonight and the dress was hideous!
but she was funny.
(i always call Tilda my mom, since i think she looks a lot like her.)
i thought Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill were pretty funny.

i think i'm the only person that likes montages.
it's a sickness, i guess.
i like picking out the movies that i've seen.
i've seen most of the best picture winners.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

I haven't minded the montages so much in the past. I think it's that the lack of writing time left them so... uninspired.

[some-day-soling.livejournal.com]

Ahh. 80th. It was always going to be montages. They were just lucky the writer's strike landed that way.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if there'd been more time for writing they could have at least had *interesting* montages! :)

~I just don't really like Hillary Swank. Also, she kinda looks like a transvestite.

~Super old guy is boring me!

Dude, he's 99, and he was Hitchcock's art director! I was just about bawling when I found out he was getting the honorary Oscar this year. (I didn't know ahead of time.)

~*sigh* another song. At least it's the last one.

The Best Original Song category needs to be shot in the head with a cattle gun.

~Have I mentioned how much I love Jon Stewart? Hooray for bringing the chick out to say her thanks!

That may have been the classiest moment of the night.

~And we're done. The writer's strike certainly affected this show. It was all freakin' montages.

Agreed. Bring back Errol Morris to do mini-docs, stat.

Diablo Cody, Coen brothers, Vin Truitner = Minnesotans done good this year.

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Dude, he's 99, and he was Hitchcock's art director!

But I'd never heard of him, hence the boring me. :)

Diablo Cody, Coen brothers, Vin Truitner = Minnesotans done good this year.

Yes, good year for Minnesota! :)

[chebutykin.livejournal.com]

But I'd never heard of him, hence the boring me. :)

Feh. Kids these days...

The group I watched with had the same reaction but to play devil's advocate, it may not have been Stewart's decision at all to make it happen. That said, he certainly handled it very well.

[chebutykin.livejournal.com]

That was our reaction, too (that it wasn't necessarily Stewart's call). Regardless, it was a classy moment.
