Oscar round-up

Running commentary aside, I think the Oscars were pretty alright this year, seeing as that I hadn't seen four out of the five nominees. Well, at least Matt did pretty well with his online poll. While no award was particularly shocking, here are a few things I thought were particularly entertaining:

1. Pre-show - Billy Bush. Dude, you are in the wrong business. You have immaculate cheekbones. The adult film industry needs a Jenna Jamison counterpart - you are it, brother.

2. Thanks to imdb, we learned that Jake and Maggie Gyllenhal's mom was famous and Samuel L. Jackson has know them since they were kids; Cate Blanchet is 35 - she suffers from ELS, Eva Longoria Syndrome - looks really old (read: mature)for her age but is actually pretty young; and Morgan Freeman didn't start his career until the late 1970s, so that would mean he became Hollywood famous in his 40s.

3. Thank you, Chris Rock for bringing the funny. The whole movie-title joke was hilarious - I can't wait for "Laundramat!" I like how no one is safe from his humor - just suck it up and laugh at yourself, Us Weekly does, you should too! And to Sean Penn - FUCK OFF. You are too sensitive and, yes, Jude Law is a terrific actor. BUT HE WAS IN SIX FUCKING MOVIES LAST YEAR! NOBODY WAS IN SIX FUCKING MOVIES LAST YEAR!

4. Holy titties?!!? Sidney Lumet either likes to give the gift of plastic surgery to his children or his wife is really hot. Those boobs were just too...gravity defying. Darcy and I were a little taken aback.

5. FUCK OFF, SEAN PENN. SPICOLLI!!!!!!!

6. Of course Jamie Foxx had to sing when he gave his acceptance speech. Was anyone really surprised?

7. I did want Super Size Me to win. Oh well...it was a longshot anyway. And I feel like Morgan Spurlock should have some sort of recognition for putting himself through was is probably the most hellacious lifestyle change I can think of. Plus there was a human hair in his double cheeseburger...um, I think I need to go vomit.

8. I didn't understand the whole Beyonce-fest. I guess she was good - she's has an amazing voice, but she's too bootylicious for the O-towns. But doesn't she need a solider, not a dead guy with a cape and a mask? Antonio Bandaras can kind of sing (but if your along side Santana, does it matter?), and the Counting Crows...jezzy chrizzy. Worst. Hair. Ever. I feel so bad for Adam Duritz. He has no idea.

9. I really would like to have lunch with Morgan Freeman. In all the interviews I've seen with him (totalling 2), he seems like such a gentleman who doesn't feel the need to explain his success - he just is. He does a job like the rest of us and he lives a good life. Cool guy.

10. Million Dollar Buzz - I am the only one that hasn't seen it yet? I really want to. Someone come with me. Please. I don't want to go by myself. I should bring a flip pad of notebook paper and act like I'm there to write a review, like I have a purpose for being there and not having any friends.

That's about it. I'm should get back to my book now. Have a pleasant tomorrow!
