YAY LotR!!! 😀 Sweeeep!
Huh. The Oscars were so predictable this year (Charlize, Sean Penn, LotR). But I still enjoyed it. I know, I know, I always complain about awards shows being so boring and long but I totally get a kick out of them.
My comments (written during the ceremony so please excuse the randomness)…
Dresses I liked – Angelina Jolie (she looked really good), Jennifer Garner (beautiful dress color but I’m not crazy about the bangs), Charlize Theron (though I *hated* the bronzer action), Liv Tyler (cute glasses but why did she have to keep taking them off and on while she was presenting?), Nicole Kidman and Catherine Zeta-Jones
Dresses I did not like – Uma Thurman (it was all puffy) and Diane Keaton (what was that?!?)
So happy that Billy Crystal is back hosting. His opening monologue is getting a little old and it drags on for way too long but I find him really funny. Must be my warped sense of humor. A couple of my favorite Billy jokes —
“11 nominations, one for each ending.” (LotR)
“Bush was president, the economy was tanking, and we just finished a war with Iraq!” (the state of the country as compared to 13 years ago)
“There’s a shooting and there’s a beating, it’s like a Disney and Eisner meeting.” (Mystic River)
Johnny Depp looks AMAZING. Wowzers. Mmmm…
Hee. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson plugging Starsky and Hutch. I kinda want to see that movie now…
OMG. Robin Williams freaks me out.
Will Ferrell and Jack Black. BWAH. I’m dying, they’re so funny. I love love loved their song — “You’re boooooring!” It totally should have won best song, methinks.
Yay for Sofia Coppola! I’m glad she won. But seriously, I feel so bad for her when she has to speak — she’s so shy that she’s always so anxious to get off stage. And is it just me but why does it seem like she never thanks Scarlett Johansson in her speeches?
Adrien Brody. Restraining order and the breath spray? Hee!
So so happy that LotR won for Best Picture. 🙂 It was so cool to see all the hobbits on stage together. Aww. I love my hobbits.
In other fangirl-y news, I’m so bummed that there’s no new Everwood tomorrow. The dreaded hiatus has arrived. Boo.
Aw man! I completely forgot that there was no new Everwood tonight. Bummer. But maybe that’s a good thing so I can catch up on some things I need to do…I enjoyed the Oscars too, but they went on forever! I’m glad LOtR sweeped, they deserved it. But there are still so many of those movies I have yet to see. Hopefully soon…
Hehe I <3 Adrien Brody, he's too funny and not too hard on the eyes either ;) Yes, Johnny was spectacularly beautiful, nice haircut too. I concur about Charlize and Sean winning, both deservedly so :)
Boo, hiss to Everwood hiatus. We need more sweeps!
I agree with everything you said. ROTK DESERVED EVERYTHING IT WAS NOMINATED FOR. PERIOD.
