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.
81 comments:
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.
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.
9. I hope Christian Bale wins the Oscar!
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.
11. Christian Bale Speech rating. I give it a 4.0. (out of 10). Not so great.
12. So far this is boring. I am going to pour a glass of wine.
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.
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?
15. Best Original Score. it will probably be Inception.
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.
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.
18. At least Matt is wearing a shirt.
19. YAYAYAY....another plug for unions. The second one i heard tonight. This from the Sound Mixing dude on Inception.
20. It sounds like Gary Sinese narrating the nominated films/actors. I wonder if it is....
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
26. New husband for Kylee/Modern Hippie.....Jake Gyllenhall. Have i not picked him before you, Kylee?
27.One more time. WORST OSCARS EVER.
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.
Wrong again. Inside Job... note to self.
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.
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.
am going to have to go upstairs and turn the Oscars on.
It's cougar/ husky basketball here
louie! i thought FOR SURE you would be watching.
the only parts I lake are the ads for the universities. I think it's very cool how they highlight their programs and campuses
almost forgot
Go Cougs
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.
30. Gwnneth Paltrow... bring it on.
OK. maybe not.
so how long has gwyneth paltro been singing country?
31. Cool dress though. But she came across as really super nervous.
did I miss all the dresses? that's all i really care about
how many awards has randy newman won?
ha predicted it
Randy's a stud
so i'm checking out the dresses on tan another site
I do not know who half these women are
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.
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.
32. Hillary....who always looks like a man turned transsexual is introducting someone. This is Achievement in Directing.
I am thinking The Social Network.
I wanted to say King's Speech, but it seemed too obvious. Wrong again.
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!
33. I think Annette Bening is so incredible! And i haven't even heard her speak. She just looks so great.
what award is this
Did you see Red? If not, you need to netflix
Helen Mirin AND Bruce Willis
THAT is gross about John Mayer and Miley,. As usual, ms. Louie, you are multi tasking in a big way. LOL.
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.
Jeff Bridges:....love him. I vote Annette. She was awesome in The Kids are Allright. So Type A. So real. Reminds me of myself.
Note to self: Rabbit Hole. looks good for a Nicole movie.
I have not seen Red. But i like the idea of helen Mirren with an automatic weapon.
I am a actually kind of sick of Natalie Portman because she reminds me too much of Scarlett Johannsen. Pouter Chicks.
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
And as i just sent that last post, Natalie wins. I loved her in Beautiful Girls when she was young.
She is pretty. And her hair looks nothing like i have sported lately. Which means it looks nice!
where's the music
get her off
Natalie, that's enough speech. Unless you are going to thank the union folks too.
she looks good pregnant too
for some reason I just don't like her
do like Sandra
think she's classy
Sandra Bullock. looks great. Javier. still cute. doesn't have a chance. Colin Firth will win.
I may have to actually see true grti
think you're right about Colin, didn't see it either
34. I love that kid in the Facebook movie clip.
didn't see that Facebook movie either
or 127 hours - will not
35. As predicted by everyone: Colin Firth.
Colin is threatening to dance. Pretty funny. Nice speech. But too long.
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
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.
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.
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.
what was cate blanchet wearing?
I'm glad I didn't tune in until after 7
The Oscar goes to King's Speech.
they only ones i want to see is the kids are alright and the kings speech
note to self: rent King's Speech.
am going to Alderbrook next weekend for some medical thing
going to have a massage
Anne's last dress is NOT a hit
barf with the singing sixth graders
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.)
TOTAL BARF with those kids. TOTAL.
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.
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. . .
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.
