The Oscars…borefest

Posted on by

I got to go to the Academy Awards!
Me at the Oscars

Recap in a few lines-

Loved Gwyneth Paltrow’s salmon/clay colored gown. I would wear it-the top part is way too small for me (so is the bottom, but I like it!)

Reminds me of Anne Baxter in The Ten Commandments but her dress was aqua

Yeah-Alan Arkin won for Little Miss Sunshine even though he played a stiff in part of the movie. Rent it, you’ll see!

Recognition again for An Inconvenient Truth the documentary ‘starring’ former VP Al Gore. Melissa Etheridge won for best song for this same documentary.
Leo and Al

Recognition for Martin Scorsese for best director and the movie The Departed (which Sean just rented and I didn’t finish watching) won for Best Picture.

I want to see The Queen because of Helen Mirren (who won Best Actress).

Best costumes-Marie Antoinette!

Woo-hoo for Jennifer Hudson who won best supporting actress for Dream Girls. She was a vote off on American Idol once! I need to see this movie too.

I can’t forget to mention about James Taylor singing the nominated song from Cars–Our Town-very short performance.

Ellen DeGeneres-did the best she could. Seems to me she wasn’t in her element-a smaller crowd is better for her and not of her peers. I changed my previous opinion after I saw her cry about her hosting the Academy Awards on her show today.

  1. Hello from Long Island New York,
    Where we had a bit of snow last night, only an inch here on the south shore.
    I did not watch the Oscars, I will catch bits and pieces of it.
    I saw the Illusionist in the movies and loved the movie too.
    Edward Norton is a great actor. You don’t hear to much about him, he appears to be selective in his roles, good for him.
    I want to go see Wild Hogs, John Travolta, Bill Macy, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence, Ray Liotta. All the bits and pieces I have seen on TV look so funny.
    We just signed up for a bus trip to Longwood Gardens in May.
    Turns out our Horticulture Group is going. We are looking forward to it.
    We still plan to take our own trip to Penna. to see you and our other friends.
    Gotta run, take care, your pal, Angela

  2. I usually always watch the Academy Awards but I had such a headache that night, I went to lie down in a dark room so I missed them. I didn’t even know who had won what so I’m glad you listed some:-) Yeahhhh for Jennifer Hudson, I’m really glad she won. xox
