Let's Talk Oscars in Realtime!

I once did this on the Gumbo yaya board and it was fun. Blogging about the Oscars as you watch gives you something to do in betweem commercials and those super boring Oscar awards where the documentary of short films director makes the longest and most boring speech.

I am coming in to this alittle bit late, but not much.

1. So far the Best Actress award went to someone i don't know in a movie i haven't seen. I think her name was melissa? I liked her.

2. I don't expect too much from James Franco as a host. I saw him host SNL and he wasn't that great. I did like him on Freaks and Geeks years back though. And i actually did see his movie 127 hours.

3. Ann Hathaway's dress is gorgeous!

I'll be back.

4. Oops one more thing. Javier Bardem looks alittle bit fleshy.

5. I LOVE that Aaron Sorkin won an Oscar for his screenplay because he was so amazing with his West Wing, one of my favorite tv shows of all time when he was writing it.

6. So backing up for a moment when Justin Timberlake was on stage presenting. I am just glad he didn't grab that girl's boob. she looked like she had tattooed a purple camisole on her chest. I was almost wanting Justin to grab it and let me know if it was a tattoo or not.

I was disappointed in their presentation. I HAVE seen Justin on SNL and he is so freaking funny that i was expecting more.

7. When i grow up and get older i want to look like Helen Mirren. She is so awesome looking.

jojo cucina cucina said...

8. the Oscar for Best Foreign Film "In a Better Worls" ..i am writing this so i remember to netflix it.

It's Denmark! I love the recipients of this award because their speeches are usually short. Let's face it, after you see what they are wearing, what do we care about their speech and who they thank...Unless you are Tom Hanks.

jojo cucina cucina said...

9. I hope Christian Bale wins the Oscar!

jojo cucina cucina said...

Note to self: rent Winter's Bone. Also The Town.

10. Yay! this guy deserves it for losing so much weight in not one movie, but TWO movies. (The Machinist). He's awesome.

jojo cucina cucina said...

11. Christian Bale Speech rating. I give it a 4.0. (out of 10). Not so great.

jojo cucina cucina said...

12. So far this is boring. I am going to pour a glass of wine.

jojo cucina cucina said...

13. Case in point: "I am delighted we just renewed our vows" was spoken right after i wrote the above. It was some Academy admin.

jojo cucina cucina said...

14. Nicole Kidman. is wearing a dress that makes it looks like she has hippy hips. Why would you do that? She is wearing her hair in the exact same ponytail that i was wearing today when i went running.

Can you tell i do not like Nicole Kidman?

jojo cucina cucina said...

15. Best Original Score. it will probably be Inception.

jojo cucina cucina said...

16. I was wrong. Social Network won. I like that because one of the dude's name is Atticus. You just know for whom he was named. LOL... that sounds funny.

jojo cucina cucina said...

17. Two of my least favorite actors: Scarlett Johannsen and Matt McCaughnehy. She is wearing her hair in the same way that i am wearing mine right this minute after i washed it after running and just let it dry naturally.

Not a good look.

jojo cucina cucina said...

18. At least Matt is wearing a shirt.

jojo cucina cucina said...

19. YAYAYAY....another plug for unions. The second one i heard tonight. This from the Sound Mixing dude on Inception.

jojo cucina cucina said...

20. It sounds like Gary Sinese narrating the nominated films/actors. I wonder if it is....

jojo cucina cucina said...

21. So far this is one of the most boring Oscars i have seen yet. Everyone is sedate. Except for Melissa getting bleeped for the F-word, it's not much to write about.

jojo cucina cucina said...

22. I am starting to think that i could host the Oscars as well as James Franco....as long as i take a beta blocker. He's not that charasmatic. Why did they pick him?

jojo cucina cucina said...

23. VERY weird dress that Cate Blanchette is wearing. What they hell? it looks like she has sprouted boils around her neckline and her wings were bit off . THAT is the most horrible dress tonight. I cannot wait to hear what Joan Rivers will say.

Say what you will about Joan, but she is dead on funny, like Simon on American Idol, when it comes to telling the truth.

jojo cucina cucina said...

24. OBAMA>..dammit, you make an appearance about the Best Song on the Oscars and cant' find your way to Wisconsin. You are going to hear from me.

jojo cucina cucina said...

25. Obama, seriously, if you are reading this blog, get your skinny black ass to Wisconsin and do what you promised to do. walk the lines with any union whose collective bargaining rights were being threatened. You promised to put on your comfortable shoes to do so, remember? I'll buy you comfortable shoes if you don't have them. Tell me you size. I'm thinking size 12 and a half.

jojo cucina cucina said...

And that ends our requisite political message for the Academy Awards 2011.

But let me add one more thing. His song pick sucked. He should have chosen as his favorite Oscar Best Song "It's Hard OUt Hear for a Pimp" which is from the movie Hustle and Flow and i am not kidding when i say i loved this song and live blogged about it as it won years ago.

jojo cucina cucina said...

26. New husband for Kylee/Modern Hippie.....Jake Gyllenhall. Have i not picked him before you, Kylee?

jojo cucina cucina said...

27.One more time. WORST OSCARS EVER.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I wrote that right after the techo pretend musicals, like Twilight. "He Doesn't Wear a Shirt" about that one dude. Now Oprah arrives.

I don't expect it to be better. But i like her dress ALOT.

She looks great. She is presenting Best Documentary. I like this award usually and always want to watch the Best winner. (Did anyone reading here see The Cove last year about the slaughter of dolphins? )

My vote Exit Through the Gift Shop.

jojo cucina cucina said...

Wrong again. Inside Job... note to self.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I think they need to have Nerd Oscars for the obscure Oscar winner and then the Glamour Oscars. I feel badly for the nerd Oscar winners who have the music playing within 30 seconds of their speech while the longwinded Hollywood stars get to go on and on.

The Nerd Oscars could be sponsored by... let me think....

hmmm. i will have to come back to that. I think this proves i am not a nerd.

jojo cucina cucina said...

28. Cool. Bob Hope introduced Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law even though Bob Hope is dead. He is dead, right?


Of all comebacks in Hollywood i love that RDJ is back in the game. My next favorite comeback kid is Ben Affleck.

louielouie said...

am going to have to go upstairs and turn the Oscars on.

It's cougar/ husky basketball here

jojo cucina cucina said...

louie! i thought FOR SURE you would be watching.

louielouie said...

the only parts I lake are the ads for the universities. I think it's very cool how they highlight their programs and campuses

louielouie said...

almost forgot

Go Cougs

jojo cucina cucina said...

29. Seriously....Ann and James are not hosts. Why didn't they ask Simon Cowell? What about Jon Stewart again? I loved when he hosted! Justin Timberlake on his own would have been great.

I have to say i haven't liked an Oscar song since "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp". If i had not already done my taxes i would be doing them now in between the major awards.

jojo cucina cucina said...

30. Gwnneth Paltrow... bring it on.

OK. maybe not.

louielouie said...

so how long has gwyneth paltro been singing country?

jojo cucina cucina said...

31. Cool dress though. But she came across as really super nervous.

louielouie said...

did I miss all the dresses? that's all i really care about

how many awards has randy newman won?

louielouie said...

ha predicted it

Randy's a stud

louielouie said...

so i'm checking out the dresses on tan another site

I do not know who half these women are

jojo cucina cucina said...

I like watching Fashion Police when it's all said and done. Ann Hathaway has some pretty cool dresses tht she is wearing.

So far like i said, Cate B. is the worst. And that includes the Nerd Oscar Winners.

There is no excuse for Cate.

jojo cucina cucina said...

This would be more fun if the commercials were like SuperBowl commercials. Where is the E-Trade Baby when you need him?

It's 8:00 pm here and I want more wine to get through this but now i am drinking Fresca and cranberry juice, cause it is a school night.

jojo cucina cucina said...

32. Hillary....who always looks like a man turned transsexual is introducting someone. This is Achievement in Directing.

I am thinking The Social Network.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I wanted to say King's Speech, but it seemed too obvious. Wrong again.

louielouie said...

I love annette benning but her dress looked see-through on the pic I saw

found this while looking at dresses:

John Mayer Spotted Kissing 15 Years Younger Miley Cyrus — Gross!

jojo cucina cucina said...

33. I think Annette Bening is so incredible! And i haven't even heard her speak. She just looks so great.

louielouie said...

what award is this

Did you see Red? If not, you need to netflix
Helen Mirin AND Bruce Willis

jojo cucina cucina said...

THAT is gross about John Mayer and Miley,. As usual, ms. Louie, you are multi tasking in a big way. LOL.

jojo cucina cucina said...

Disclaimer: These are really super boring Oscars. My American Idol live blogging was so much more fun that this has been. There is not even enough lame-o stuff so that i can have fun making fun of it. It's just banal and prefectly contrived.

jojo cucina cucina said...

Jeff Bridges:....love him. I vote Annette. She was awesome in The Kids are Allright. So Type A. So real. Reminds me of myself.

jojo cucina cucina said...

Note to self: Rabbit Hole. looks good for a Nicole movie.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I have not seen Red. But i like the idea of helen Mirren with an automatic weapon.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I am a actually kind of sick of Natalie Portman because she reminds me too much of Scarlett Johannsen. Pouter Chicks.

louielouie said...

i haven't seen most of these movies so have a hard time caring

love Jeff Bridges

the whole premise of Black Swan creeps me out
Rabbit Hole too

jojo cucina cucina said...

And as i just sent that last post, Natalie wins. I loved her in Beautiful Girls when she was young.

louielouie said...

jojo cucina cucina said...

She is pretty. And her hair looks nothing like i have sported lately. Which means it looks nice!

louielouie said...

where's the music
get her off

jojo cucina cucina said...

Natalie, that's enough speech. Unless you are going to thank the union folks too.

louielouie said...

she looks good pregnant too

for some reason I just don't like her

louielouie said...

do like Sandra

think she's classy

jojo cucina cucina said...

Sandra Bullock. looks great. Javier. still cute. doesn't have a chance. Colin Firth will win.

louielouie said...

I may have to actually see true grti

think you're right about Colin, didn't see it either

jojo cucina cucina said...

34. I love that kid in the Facebook movie clip.

louielouie said...

didn't see that Facebook movie either

or 127 hours - will not

jojo cucina cucina said...

35. As predicted by everyone: Colin Firth.

Colin is threatening to dance. Pretty funny. Nice speech. But too long.

louielouie said...

yep too long

but I'll forgive Colin

not sure I'll stay tuned for the finale

maybe just to see one more Anne dress

jojo cucina cucina said...

Louie, i don't know why i don't like Natalie either. . I think it's because she is too pouty. The ONLY movie mentioned that i have seen is the 127 Hours. It was good, but not Oscar worthy good.

jojo cucina cucina said...

MOST BORING OSCARS EVER. No Controversy. No amazing speech. Nothing. Hosts totally boring/banal talk.

My pick for best picture will be Kings Speech because everyone is talking about it.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I forgot, i did see The Kids Are all right and i liked that one alot. bedause it was so real. but it won't win.

louielouie said...

what was cate blanchet wearing?

I'm glad I didn't tune in until after 7

jojo cucina cucina said...

The Oscar goes to King's Speech.

louielouie said...

they only ones i want to see is the kids are alright and the kings speech

jojo cucina cucina said...

note to self: rent King's Speech.

louielouie said...

am going to Alderbrook next weekend for some medical thing

going to have a massage

louielouie said...

Anne's last dress is NOT a hit

louielouie said...

barf with the singing sixth graders

jojo cucina cucina said...

The Kids Are All Right is a good movie. (Not to be confused with the book that you read of mine by a very similar name.)

OK, signing off now. These are so boring... seriously what was i thinking? I believe all the reviews will be about how lame these Oscars were.

Ad Gwennyth is rewatching the DVR of herself singing when she gets home and will probably want to give back her oscar to pay back for that performance.....you know, that one she won for Shakespeare in love. (which i never thought she deserved anyway.)

jojo cucina cucina said...

TOTAL BARF with those kids. TOTAL.

jojo cucina cucina said...

I could have spent those last three.five hours painting or packing up stuff. I am pissed that i wasted all of this time on that.

louielouie said...

I'm taking a shower

maybe will watch the end of the b-ball game afterall

Cougs are up 18. But they know how to blow a lead. . .

equeyaya said...

LOL, I only watched a little bit. The best part for me was Franco dressed as Marilyn Monroe. Which isn't saying much. When was Jacke Gyllenhal on? He's MY husband, Kylee! (How old is he anyway?)

Of those nominated, I have only seen The Town, and The Kids are All Right. I really want to see The King's Speech, True Grit, and The Fighter.
