"duck feather" thing. It looked good, but the necklace was a bit much. And yes, strapless is the new black. And feathers and frills appear to be back in? Um... this is a bad development.<br><br>2) Colin Farrell! What happened dude??! I blame Oliver Stone, Miami Vice, and that interview where he said "I take a gazillion drugs a week".<br><br>3) Miley Cyrus should not have been a presenter. FACT.<br><br>4) What happened to the movies we've heard of??? Do no one do anything worth rewarding in a movie that someone actually saw?Angushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18202460902644198009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-71378921526980130872008-02-25T23:29:59.821-05:002008-02-25T23:29:59.821-05:001.

Including concentric fish scales on certain parts that didn't necessarily need additional emphasis. <br><br>2. Poor poor disgustingly greasy Nolte-esque Colin. It's a tragedy, really.<br><br>3. AGREED.<br><br>4. Well, three extremely well-deserved tech Oscars for The Bourne Ultimatum. But other than that... Although I must say I'm glad they've stayed away from awarding populist drivel. Remember James Cameron in 1998, and let's all just agree that we won't go back there ever again.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-5787031754799259282008-02-26T01:25:00.000-05:002008-02-26T01:25:00.000-05:002.

It's sort of sad for the ladies of the world that he's slobby and greasy now.<br><br>4. I just worry that the Oscars will become irrelevant by only focusing on arthouse movies. Where was the love for (Big) Will(y Style) Smith in I Am Legend?? He was great in that movie!Angushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18202460902644198009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-5282180560543588492008-02-26T07:58:00.000-05:002008-02-26T07:58:00.000-05:00Thanks, Laura. I laughed out loud, especially at ...Thanks, Laura. I laughed out loud, especially at the "purple monkey dishwasher" part. (wipes eyes. Good times.)<br>Also at this: "beer The value of the item is in the collectible container, not its content" Oops! Sorry! Your father must have had something else on the clipboard.<br>This"Helen Mirren in a flattering, age-appropriate yet not dowdy, comfortable-looking but still sexy gray dress -- holding her autobiography, which rightly features a giant photo of her face -- should make anyone feel at least mildly better about the state of the world, even if it's just in a "I wonder how's she's avoided being cast in Harry Potter yet -- OH! Speaking of, I totally forgot I hid some CHOCOLATE FROGS IN MY DESK! Thank GOD, all is not lost!" sort of way." <br>I loved that from Go fug yourself.<br>and your dad actually watched some of the Oscars; more from there's nothing else on rather than a desire to honor Hillarywood (Hollyobama?)<br>Have a great day - I love you.Laura's momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-80046874015379811292008-02-26T10:27:27.070-05:002008-02-26T10:27:27.070-05:00Hahaha, mom! That was awesome.Angus, 4. Yes, that...Hahaha, mom! That was awesome.<br><br>Angus, 4. Yes, that's a good point, but I think it's a bit better for the Oscars to have an aspirational element than to tell James Cameron he is, in fact, king of the world, as the voices in his head made him suspect all along. I think we plebes will never quite understand the inner workings of Oscar voting.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525724897783215069.post-19163572950467054082008-02-26T10:29:47.588-05:002008-02-26T10:29:47.588-05:00Oh, and also, "purple monkey dishwasher"...Oh, and also, "purple monkey dishwasher" is a quote from the Simpsons, so I can't take credit for it.Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.com
