Hey, it went over only by 18 minutes. Not bad!
Yeah, and I realize I started fretting at 11:25 because last year, didn't they have like 17 montages and 3 honorary awards in between the lead actor awards and best picture? At least they didn't do that!
I hadn't checked my mega millions until now - matched 2 on one line - that's it. suck.
I checked this morning because I had lottery winning dreams. they were fun dreams.
I like this recap of the Oscars, especially this series of "awards":
Worst Rob Lowe – Snow White Flashback: The moment John Travolta waltzed onto the stage after the final Best Song nominee performance. He is partially redeemed by what happened next, which was...
The 'Seriously, If This Song Doesn't Win I'm Going to Have a Coronary Right Here on the Couch' Award went (thankfully) to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, for their gorgeous duet "Falling Slowly," (from the film "Once), which leads us to...
Best Line of the Night: "Falling Slowly" wins Best Song, Glen Hansard, blushing charmingly, gives a charming, stammering acceptance speech, and then charmingly leads his equally surprised partner Irglova off the stage. Jon Stewart's response: "That guy is so arrogant."
The Surprising Moment of Humanity Award goes to the Academy itself, which, after playing Marketa Irglova, a.k.a. one half of the Best Song winning team, off the stage, invited her back so she could say her piece, which was, unsurprisingly (see above), exceedingly charming.
ION, I can't seem to stop watching the "I Drink Your Milkshake" SNL sketch online.
I can't believe I missed Chenowith! I tivoed the Oscars mostly for her!
The "c" in "victuals" is silent, right? I guess that mispronuciation falls in line with the plot of this ep of Trek.
EW's in-the-press-room Oscar story:
Asked about whether [Hansard]'d go back to busking (i.e. singing on the street), he answers that he was just doing that a few months ago in Barcelona: ''It's a great way to get to know a city.''
9:33 p.m. Perhaps because his role in There Will be Blood is the most richly, darkly serious in a group of five serious Best Actor nominees, most of the questions to Daniel Day-Lewis are almost determinedly light-hearted. Have you been offered a lot of complimentary milkshakes? ''I'm very much looking forward to all the milkshakes I'm going to have over the next 25 years.'' What do you do for a laugh? ''The great thing about that is I don't have to talk about it. I'm not telling!' Oh, why not? ''Because it's none of your f---ing business!'' (He says this with a wry smile.) Are you aware how big the milkshake line has become? ''I am completely aware of it. I think it's fantastic. I mean, if people absorb something that you've done, if that gets absorbed into the culture in such a way that people can make something else from it, that's delightful to me.... We call it ''slagging'' in Ireland, taking the piss in England.'' Why did you kiss George Clooney on your way to the Oscar stage? ''Because George has been there for me, and he was the closest fellow nominee.... George is just so incredibly generous. He's a great guy, really. I had to kiss someone. I kissed my wife, and in the interests in parity, I kissed him too.''
Yeah, and I realize I started fretting at 11:25 because last year, didn't they have like 17 montages and 3 honorary awards in between the lead actor awards and best picture? At least they didn't do that!
I think that they created all of those montages to use as filler if the writer's strike lasted, and now they said "well, we made 'em, let's use em"
A montage unused is an unspeakable tragedy....
Am so tired. Had to stay up to watch all the Oscars because once I start I can't stop but I was out at dinner for the first 90 minutes or so. And yet only ended up maybe 20 minutes behind at the end. Due to ff-ing through commercials and boring parts! but, still, am so tired.
So, Josh Brolin? He must be short with the most ginormous head ever. He wasn't that much taller than James McAvoy who is tiny but his head was like 3 times as big.
I kind of loved Marion Cotillard's dress even if it was fish scaley.
