Oscar who?
The fat lady has sung. And won awards for it. But once the Academy has strutted its stuff, once we've seen the outfits, the frozen faces, the sore losers, the passed over , what's really left to discuss? Ellen? Not bad, not bad at all. Was I rolling in the aisles? Um, no. ut Jack Black and Will Farrell and John C Reilly were hilarious. Maybe they should host next year. Really, they should. All musical comedy, all night long. Oh, wait, that was Billy Crystal. Admittedly, I miss those songs....
So why write now, you ask? Well, simply put: because you asked. I've received more than a few emails wondering where the Oscar talk was. I figured everyone and his brother and her mother-in-law are blogging about Oscar. Or were. What's done, is done. But I'm a bit of a crowd pelaser, so hear I am, BOD. Blogging on Demand.
And since you asked...
Does anyone else think that Jerry Seinfeld was there to subtely pitch himself as next year's host? His new Bee Movie aside, what's he done for us lately?
La Kidman. Oh, Nic, what have you done with yourself? Turned from Batman heroine to the Joker. And Mr Freeze. That face! Once so gorgeous, now so....still. She's always been like a statue - but now her face is too. And not in a good way. According to one of my gossip hound friends, she's being written up as being 35. 35!!!!! She'll be 40 this year. Or at least 39. A fellow gemini, I like to keep track. Obviously she does not.
Murphy's Law. Bird in hand. Calll it what you want, but Eddie's loss was the scoop of the night. And no one was more surprised than the man himself, who promptly left. Grow up, Edward!
JHu should take a leaf out of JLo's book and learn how to do the red carpet. The latter, always perfect. The former, I know she's a newcomer but come on! My mom always told me, never put your hands in your pockets. Someone should've told Jen H. Fact is, when you've been generously endowed in certain areas, you either accentuate the positive (Ms. Lopez), or you hide it. Drape it. Skim over. You don't thrust your hands into your fancy shmancy dress. On the red carpet. Or anywhere. It's simply not a good look. From skimming to straining in a matter of seconds.
That's about all, sportsfans. While the list goes on, I shalll not. Unless, of course, you'd like to discuss Idol. I figured I'd wait 'til the top 12 are chosen, considering these ealry exiters will be promptly forgotten. They're the best of the worst, after all, chosen to put - and keep - the real talents in teh spotlights. But let's let them enjoy their moments in the spotlight, brief as it may be.
Oh, before I leave you....dedicating Let's Get it On to your parents? That ain't right.
Go Beat Boxer! Go JT Beckham!
MOAM....out!

WHAT CAN YOU SAY , YOU SAID IT ALL AND SO WELL..
I LOVE READING YOUR BLOGS .. AND THE WAY YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF .. WHAT A MIND
It was Kidman's lips that threw me! She did have very thin ones, but come on - she's turning into Barbara Hershey. I predict that all this work is going to screw up her career. I feel bad for these women who are evaluated on their looks and then starve themselves or get surgery to keep up appearances and boom, we drop them for being crazy! And yes, I think she is.
Oh, MOAM-- your Oscar talk is right on-- though Jerry seemed sorta... mean... like he was slumming or something. Don't forget Jerry, you're a TV STAR-- you may have more money than the front row combined, but c'mon-- lighten up. No surprises-- except for Alan Arkin-- what a great speech. And did anyone notice that because they're so strict with the time limits on speeches that EVERYONE had there's written down? No "you like me, you really like me" moments anymore. No one-handed pushups. No spontaneity at all. And the show still ran late! Maybe it was because of the shadow puppets? Also, the nominees are already there-- we want our celeb fix-- no nominees as presenters! Pad the show! Used to be the co-stars of upcoming movies would get out there-- Queen L and John T weren't even allowed to mention "Hairspray" by name-- even though they played them on with music from the upcoming movie! And if you're gonna trot on Hollywood royalty to give away the Best Picture Oscar-- make sure it's someone in a wheelchair! Was Kirk Douglas unavailable?
