Jennifer Hate Hewitt really, really needs to go away. Really.
Agreed - but she can stick around if she is going to provide such great fodder for my evil mocking of her. Dear lord, why didn't someone say something to her?
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The juxtaposition of him being followed immeditely by Celine was just bizarre
What a horribly sad loss.
I often see it called "the most surreal moment in Oscar history" which, if you think about it, is quite something. And before him was Trisha Yearwood right? And they were all on stage at the sametime....god he must have been freaked out.
Yeah - really really tragic especially when you read interviews with the people that were working with him at the time that he died that said he was the happiest, most productive he had ever been. And the fact that he was clean for the first time in a long time, no drugs were found in his system. Sad.

That sounds right. There was a third, but I couldn't remember her name.
And they were all on stage at the sametime
They each came out separately to do abbreviated versions of their songs, then all three came out together, held hands (with Elliott being the meat of the diva sandwich) and bowed.
....god he must have been freaked out.
Definitely.

That was a very odd Oscar moment -- but I loved it...even though I knew that his chances of winning against the big sinking ship song were pretty darn slim.

This made me cringe then laugh out loud.
I don't remember seeing it - though I know I must have watched that night because I remember Ben and Matt winning the Oscar for the GWH screenplay. I wasn't a fan of Elliott yet.

Madonna, who presented the award, was funny. She opened the envelope and laughed, "What a surprise!"

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
sending original liner notes or a copy thereof with notes and/or musings - yes.
Oops. Forgot we were doing this. I put my liner notes in the little CD booklet. There isn't much room for comments.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It was Trisha Yearwood and he did look terrified and it was surreal.
I have to say, that in interviews after that event when people said, "Man, that sucks you had to be on stage with somebody like Celine Dion" and Elliott always said, "Actually Celine was really nice to me and went out of her way to make me feel at ease."
