Oscar Party!

Yeah, yeah, you don't care. But hey, it's the annual Academy Awards and I'm using it as an excuse to throw a party! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/partybiggrin.gif

Penelope Cruz wins best red carpet dress so far (IMHO).

I'm using it as an excuse to watch a DVD. When we get to Oscar night, I realize that, despite good intentions on seeing some movies that look interesting, I haven't. I didn't watch The Deerhunter until 15 years later--and I actually helped in the production of that.

I didn't see a single nominated movie that I m aware of.

Yay! Rango wins best animated feature!

I have seen four movies nominated for awards -- Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, Hugo and HP and the Deathly Hallows pt 2. It's been a fun show so far.

This was one of the strongest lineups of female actors I can remember.

Wardrobe Malfunction!

Was it me or did Jennifer Lopez have a bit more peeking out from her dress than just cleavage? (sorry, no smaller size on this image)

Gosh, Christopher Plummer finally won an Oscar after all these years. 'Bout damned time!

Post Oscar opinion: actually, a very nice awards ceremony. I appreciated cirque de soliel over some kind of dance number, though I didn't think their performance the best. I liked the musicians in the balcony with electric keyboard and violin--providing the viewing audience with transitional music (i.e. in and out of commercials).

I liked the staging in that the screen was often an interesting background, like a book of music. The presenters were entertaining, speeches were short, and some were pretty great. Christopher Plummer's was terrific. And I like that though there were no great surprises, I didn't feel like anyone was outrageously cheated out of an Oscar or that an Oscar went to someone who really didn't deserve it. That's always nice.

A pleasant evening.

Just to add: Fashion-wise, nothing really stood out to me (outside of Jennifer Lopez's peek-a-boo there). I did think this dress was very pretty:

I only turned it on for the last three awards, but those were the big ones, and I felt I'd seen enough.

Lopez's stylist says that dress thing was only an illusion. (But she thanks people for noticing.)

Ha! Classic "wardrobe malfunction" excuse. I don't believe it

What, no comment about "the leg"?

I am trying to pretend the leg never happened. I'm trying real, real, hard...

Yep, she should get a Raspberry award for bad acting on that. So insecure even with all the attention she gets. Whenever Brad was being interviewed (that I have seen on clips), there she is, almost reaching for the mike.

The leg?

The leg?

Angelina Jolie wore a gown with a high leg split. She used every opportunity she had to pose with the full leg out. Some of the poses were pretty fake.
