the most sought-after guy in hollywood

here's my blow-by-blow of the oscar's for all those who enjoyed my grammy's commentary!

the red carpet in all its glory:

• kate winslet is beautiful, so vintage, and that dress is killing me (why is she always so perfect?!). i love that she's the youngest to be nominated for so many awards.
• SJP looks very carrie bradshaw (which i now know after having my first SATC experience last night with the ladies). and matthew broderick looks very nervous.
• tim gunn is about to drool all over mr. valentino.
• comparing the oscars to the prom to make it relevant to vanessa hudgens and zack efron. hilarity.
• okay, if people knock miley cyrus and her dress this time, i'm gonna kill someone. she looks awesome. it's young, fresh, appropriate, elegant, and people just need to get over themselves.
• penelope is wearing serious vintage. like, a 60 year old dress vintage. proof that beauty is timeless, and i need to start shopping in thrift stores.
• jeez, this award show is so...pompous compared to others.
• so the red carpet was officially a disappointment. way too many movie stars sneaking in the back entrance so as not to show off their dresses before the main event. haters.
  

the main event:

• oh, hugh. i love your accent. it's okay if you were an australian, playing an australian, in a movie called australia, hosting.
• it takes some balls to perform show-tune style live. cheesy, but apt and quite funny, mr. jackson. and who knew anne hathaway could sing?!
• meryl streep is a badass. plain and simple. bad. ass.
• best supporting actress: penelope cruz. it was the dress. lol.
  
• the milk acceptance speech will break your heart.
• the uniform of the oscars this year seems to be the white, strapless, sparkly dress.
• oscars are dragging.
• costume designer for the duchess seemed like he just inhaled a very large xanax before his acceptance speech.
• i love when winners say "'so and so' really should be up here with me..." and then just go on with their speech. because the rest of that sentence actually says: "...but i didn't want to share the spotlight so i didn't ask them to come up."
  
• ROBERT PATTINSON IS AT THE OSCARS! and looking HOT introducing the romance movies of 2008 (including twilight! holla!). i wasn't feeling the short hair originally. it's growing on me (no pun intended). that was by far the [most unexpected] highlight of the oscars for me. is that sad?
• natalie portman is rocking her pink dress. and ben stiller is out of control. i don't get it, could someone explain?
  
• that's 2 for slumdog millionaire.
• james franco. drool. massive, massive drool. (does anyone else think he's a dead ringer for jeff buckley?)
• there goes beyonce, singing "at last" again. etta james needs to just punch her in the face and be done with it.
• best supporting actor: health ledger. can i just start crying now? okay, crying.
• the oscars needs some performances to break up the monotony. just saying'.
• it's will smith. where has will smith been? besides making bad movies like "hancock"?
• that's 3 for slumdog.
• lol. that's 4 for slumdog millionaire!
• omg. that's 5 for slumdog.
• well, i asked for performances. i got performances.
• i'm sorry, i may be the only one, but i can't stand john legend.
• 6 for slumdog millionaire. should i just stop keeping track and assume they'll win every single one?
• i have a huge crush on liam neeson. and the slumdog actress's dress is beyond words.
• slumdog took best director. that's 7. so far. are we surprised? no.
• did you know nicole kidman was born in hawaii? i loooove her. one of the most statuesque women.
  
• the women presenting best actress blow my mind.
  
• anne hathaway was nominated for a best actress oscar?! nice. she's made absolutely all of the right moves with her career so far.
  
• halle berry is untouchable. but can i please have her boyfriend/baby daddy? lol.
  
• best actress: kate winslet. so great. i should watch "the reader". and i love that she asked her dad to whistle so she could find him in the audience.
• best actor: sean penn for milk. "yes, totally deserved it!" is the consensus in the room i'm in. best acceptance speech EVER.
  
• update: rpatz is sitting behind mickey rourke. looking quite edward-ish if i do say so myself. smile for once, would ya?!
• i'm going to guess best movie now before they present it: slumdog.
• was i right? yep! slumdog millionaire takes best movie!

overall, a pretty good show. there are definitely some slow moments, but it didn't seem as long as the grammy's. sorry, too lazy to find the links! just google it!
