I can't comment much as I didn't see the telecast and half the movies aren't even out here in Japan. The fact that Memoirs of a Geisha is now an Oscar-winning movie is sad. The fact that Brokeback couldn't possibly win best picture is sad (but go the score-composer for what he said about love!) The fact that Reese beat Judi and Felicity is sad. The fact that so many people wore ugly dresses is sad. The fact that P S Hoffman looked like a tramp at the OSCARS is very sad. Oh well, I guess it's because he's a serious character actor - don't they have to make an effort? (David Straithairn looked marvellous, by contrast)
But, saddest, of all, Dolly Parton didn't win the chocolate-filled trophy for her lovely Transamerica song. And she had so much work done for the big night. Lady is starting to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein...!
Favourite quote of the night:
"I do have some sad news to report. Bjork couldn't be here tonight. She was trying on her Oscar dress and Dick Cheney shot her." Jon Stewart.
But why would she be dressing as a septaguanarian republican??
