And I don't really have any complaints about the winners. Sandy Bullock's performance in The Blind Side was her Erin Brokovich, and while I didn't like the movie Crazy Heart (seen that movie a gazillion times) I thought Jeff Bridges did a terrific job. Missed Neil's opening #, going to watch it later today. And you make a great point about "The Cove." I can't rationalize that away no matter how good bacon tastes (I had to, sorry) KPinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06134617998172889719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-69400689438827533202010-03-09T09:49:08.072-08:002010-03-09T09:49:08.072-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06134617998172889719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-28629911345680796642010-03-08T23:26:05.714-08:002010-03-08T23:26:05.714-08:00Wow, Vikki.

I ...Wow, Vikki. You're more cynical than I am.<br /><br />I must be growing old and foolish. I usually mock these awards and the others like them, but this year I let myself enjoy their moments of glory. The show is cheesy, but it is what it is and you know that going in. Still, I found some of the triumphs large and small to be moving.<br /><br />And you've got to love the voters for poking James Cameron in the eye.Larry Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13425250800667058263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-33447263343006651982010-03-08T22:03:50.151-08:002010-03-08T22:03:50.151-08:00The academy loves them some white do gooder storie...The academy loves them some white do gooder stories.Dr. Monkey Von Monkersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14370062692837972451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-16719189688306889642010-03-08T21:44:11.474-08:002010-03-08T21:44:11.474-08:00Is it because you live out there near Hollywood th...Is it because you live out there near Hollywood that you feel like you HAVE to watch such disappointing, predictable, entertainment every year or is it just to provide us with these lovely snarks?GETkristiLOVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873004576844292852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-17922294361320960492010-03-08T19:00:16.645-08:002010-03-08T19:00:16.645-08:00James Cameron's current wife frightens me.James Cameron's current wife frightens me.RandyLuvsPaistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432276211943447401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-4635186330415690642010-03-08T18:47:48.159-08:002010-03-08T18:47:48.159-08:00Best part of the evening for me was getting to wat...Best part of the evening for me was getting to watch Katherine win big, right in front of her sanctimonious ex!<br /><br />Best. seating. arrangement. ever!SkylersDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264164502733912326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15040772.post-73876761286644592742010-03-08T18:28:33.173-08:002010-03-08T18:28:33.173-08:00Another brilliantly assembled post Vikki, but i mu...Another brilliantly assembled post Vikki, but i must say I enjoyed Neil's number and thought Alec and Steve were pretty damn funny. What I am absolutely thrilled about is that I wont have to hear Barbara Walters ask another nominee in the pre show, "how would your parents feel about you being in this position"? WTF?

The musical number was, to me, completely tongue-in-cheek with Busby Berkley dancing girls and hand feather fans. I still cringed because I didn't like Doogie doing it on the Emmys either. I thought the dance number was amazing. I didn't realize they played "I am woman" when Katherine Bigelow won. (good grief)<br /><br />One thing I couldn't get past was Tom Hanks being introduced as "Academy Award winner and Academy board of governors, Tom Hanks." Oh wow. This means, he will soon be one of those old guys running the whole thing, like liver-spotted Jack Valenti old guys.

Does Daniels have a an Oscar?<br /><br />2. I think the minimum measure of any Oscar-worthy movie is that you'd like to see it again, and I have never wanted to see that schmatlzy crap Prince of Tides a second time. Not ever. Not even when the Simpsons did their reference to it. Same goes for the Indian film with the love story and the car battery to the balls. Which I did enjoy watching, but just don't need to see it again. What was it called?<br /><br />3. I think you're right about the proper Japanese response to our collective gasp, but they seem a bit too polite on cultural matters to openly consider the source. If it's any consolation to them, I don't give a shit how they make their food, unless of course they get PO'd when someone else says it gross. I suspect the producers have them exactly where they want them, unwilling to admit to their own mixed feelings. They really do seem to have that "on the one hand..." response.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336139330853842534noreply@blogger.com
