I'm an Oscar awards show junky too.
So wh...O.k. I'm an Oscar awards show junky too.<br />So what did I think?<br />Hated hated hated Billy Crystal.<br />Look, he was good in the past but what the hell is up with his face and the hairline?? oY vEY.<br />Some of the skits were boring and went nowhere, and that whole singing and dancing thing>.. EYYY Oscar oscar oscar? WTH was that.<br />Even his little skit where he told us what the audience was thinking?? Billagelina? I cringed when I heard that one and only b/c I thought of Billy Bob first.<br />Come on guys, new blood!!! Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, hell I would even settle for Tina Fey or as you suggested Emma Stone, who I think stole the damn show.<br />The Cirque thing? Well cool but I'm biased seeing that I'm from the land of Cirque and have seen most all the shows in Vegas more than Once.<br />Yes the montage of films past was a total waste of time, I was thinking the same thing and texting it to Joy.<br />Jho and Crammed Disass? skank squared is to kind.<br />Christopher Plummers speech was touching as was Octavia's<br />which brings me to a fucking bug up my ass, Why the hell are they always giving the supporting black actress the Oscar and not the Lead?? Is it just me or have they started a trend with that.<br />On to the test audiences? What a fucking waste of time. wasn't funny.<br />Downey and Paltrow? Is this the best hollywood has to offer?<br />Chris Rock what the hell is up with your hair homey, don't you know skinny black guys look stupid with a half ass curl/fro?<br />Melissa could have hosted the show.<br />I loved the Artist and felt it was done some justice. I knew Meryl would get it and on my blog I outlined my reasons the day of the show.<br />Come on Bob, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise havent aged well. With all that damn money they should have invested in beauty products. You want to see a man age gracefully check out George Clooney.<br />Anyho that's it. Sorry it's so long. but you did ask me what I thought.<br />And I went to see the Artist due to your review. I knew without a doubt I wouldn't be able to watch it till the end. <br />But that smile of Jean's had me hooked and then the movie took off.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563083955389042990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-28928611264314528812012-02-28T13:49:07.122-05:002012-02-28T13:49:07.122-05:00Love your synopsis Bob.

Stan guessed ten of the correct winners.

It was good to see her husband and hear the touching tribute to him. <br /><br />The Iranian documentarian's speech was brave and passionate. <br /><br />Good show!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718724697267800263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-35063511418770660872012-02-27T16:51:16.616-05:002012-02-27T16:51:16.616-05:00Great critique.

When Rudolph went for funny on how she got that slim figure by wearing SPANX, Gunn thought it was permission to speak up and disclosed that he too was wearing "slimming undergarments. Nothing wrong with that if it helps to give you figure good lines."<br /><br />A little Tim Gunn goes a long, long way.The Cool Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162345087029159056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-55223232827148188222012-02-27T16:00:12.060-05:002012-02-27T16:00:12.060-05:00The Academy producers would do well to take your a...The Academy producers would do well to take your advice Bob. You are so right on the mark in your suggestions for "time saved." I thought the same thing. Justin Beiber? Really? Where's the funny? And Melissa McCarthy hoisting both legs!

Oh, I don't have HD tv.<br /><br />Pitt is like whiskey - better with age but always hot.<br /><br />If Viola hadn't changed her hair she would have won.<br /><br />I was so glad they let Meryl talk and didn't cut her off - it's speeches like hers that make award shows worth watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-90719346121106877722012-02-27T13:20:31.273-05:002012-02-27T13:20:31.273-05:00Excellent recap and yes, Octavia's honest and ...Excellent recap and yes, Octavia's honest and heart felt emotions had me a little weepy.William Dameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10129769129251689759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-5287058237842996332012-02-27T13:07:45.188-05:002012-02-27T13:07:45.188-05:00"Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez.
