I so want this: AT-AT Boom Box.
Except I really don't need the ability to play tapes. Also, no word on whether the thing actually walks around going, "Pew pew pew".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, all the people wearing white that shouldn't have been. Kudos to Natalie Portman for at least wearing color.
Pity it was such an unflattering one on her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
She looked like she raided the closet of her Malibu Barbie circa 1985 for that dress.
And for pity's sake, either wear a dress that enhances the bust or buy some boobs, Nat.

I don't think it was super unflattering, but it just isn't a "dressy" color to me. And was not great on stage.
I really want to know how all these stylists keep their jobs, because there were a whole lot of people wearing the wrong color and/or shape.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I like the NYT slideshow. They put multiple people in the same colors side by side, so it is good for comparisons. I like the Marisa dress more and more.

It would be a dressy color on someone who didn't look sallow and sickly in it. Ms Portman is so completely and totally NOT a spring.

Also, one of the few people who can carry off white. And it didn't look too bridal.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I found most of the dresses meh. Besides Jessica's apt point about the horrid sash epidemic, I was also left pondering the question of who sent out the memo that everyone was supposed to wear a strapless prom dress to the Oscars. Lame. I mean, I don't have a problem with strapless gowns, but a room full of the same ol' dress over and over again is room full of boring.
I am a bit surprised at the frequent comment (not here, but on NPR and elsewhere) that there was too many song and dance numbers. I mean, apart from the happy that is Hugh Jackman singing, isn't there usually between 2 and 3 dance numbers per show? I guess one could argue that there should be less, but that would be a criticism against every Oscar broadcast, not this one in particular. For me, I think just for efficiency the show should lose one song and 3 or 4 of the video montages.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People who can do and/or wear whatever they want, as far as I'm concerned:
- Hugh Jackman
- Tilda Swinton
- Kate Winslet
- Sophia Loren
