Do folks think Chris Rock was better than Letterman? I do.
Yeah, it wasn't a disaster by any means. But it wasn't as fun as Billy Crystal's better hostings were. I laughed more at Steve Martin's. It was smoother and less weird than Whoopi's jobs, but I don't like an airtight Oscar night anyway.
I think the advantage of having Crystal as host (aside from the big production openings which are usually pretty funny and set a tone) is that Crystal
really
loves movies
and
really
loves show business. So he's like a good Allyson-onian snarker onstage. He snarks from love.
I liked the Oscars when they were baggy and loose. They should serve booze in the seats. They shouldn't cut people off - that's the worst. Rushing through everything and ticking things off. The Oscars are supposed to go long. That's what lets things happen.
Also? Read my lips: no more Beyonce.
The first best & worst of Oscar fashion I've read so far. I need more. Feed me.
My biggest disagreement with the piece is Vanessa Paradis. I think she looked, as usual, like crap.
"No, lie down a little longer, then maybe a stretch class and some krav. Then we'll have cupcakes."
what? this is not normal body communication. that is my body 90% of the time.
Someone make me finish up my self eval. I'm not sure what to put.
are you seriously asking that question here? Put, #1 at being cutiepie saracakes, expert at having cheeks pinched, certified platinum cat wrangler and herder, exceeded goal with grouchypants image with co-workers, surpassed all expectations at food refusal, assumed role as deputy in charge of mouse removal from offsite location (home), exceptional use of squishy toy....
you need more?
ita's body has been talking to me again. Except for the krav part. My body says "lie down a little longer, then lie down some more. Maybe some internet. THEN cupcakes."
I'm renewing my annual request for Kelsey Grammer to host. *sigh* I'm never going to get my wish.

No, mine definitely thinks that work is the only thing stopping me from exercising twice a day. I give it cupcakes (well, not today -- today is lemon bars and Krispy Kreme) all the time.

You just made me want David Hyde Pierce to host. I hope you're happy now.
Hahahah. No pinching.
Yeah, I wish. It's a FORM. And I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to fill out. I'm sitting here thinking, yep. I did that and that and that. Didn't mess up. What more do you want? You want me to grade my time management skills? Oh no, no you don't.
I want ita to host. She can krav Beyonce.
Note to Barbra Streisand: You're more than old enough to BRING YOUR FRICKING GLASSES. And if you won't, don't bitch at Dustin for stealing the envelope.
Oh, Joan Collins. Poor poor you. The big 80s hair, the banana clip in the back, the bad frosting?
