Another year, another Oscars. This year's show had good intentions, but didn't completely deliver. Ellen DeGeneres did a great job, and I hope she gets asked back. There were entirely too many montages (did we really need Michael Mann's montage of America's influence on film at 11:15pm....no). The producers were wrong to wait over an hour into the show to hand out a big award (Alan Arkin winning Best Supporting Actor) and the 8:30pm start time had me feeling it was going to be a long evening right off the bat.
OK, now the good stuff. Best Dressed, worst dressed and notes:
Best Dressed:
1. Reese Witherspoon
2. Cate Blanchett
3. Maggie Gyllenhaal
4. Emily Blunt
5. Helen Mirren
Honorable Mentions: Japanese Actress from Babel, Diane Keaton
Worst Dressed:
1. Cameron Diaz
2. Kirsten Dunst
3. Meryl Streep
4. Jennifer Hudson (only the jacket part in the pre-show)
5. Jennifer Lopez
Dishonorable Mentions: Anne Hathaway, Quincy Jones, Kelly Preston (wearing leopard print to the Oscars in inexcusable)
Other Dress Comments:
* I thought Gwyneth looked gorgeous, and I loved the color, but not the
actual dress
* Naomi Watts would have been better without the sleeves
* Nicole Kidman would have been better without the bow
* Philip Seymour Hoffman needs a bath and a comb
Overall Notes:
* I am still distraught over a bald Jack Nicholson. He looks like Lex
Luthor. I don't like it.
* Do you think Peter O'Toole knew where he was? He looked like a
corpse.
* LOVED the Will Ferrell/Jack Black/John C. Reilly song. Brilliant!
* Happy to see Sherry Lansing get the recognition she deserves.
* Helen Mirren is awesome.
Quote of the Day:
"Peter O'Toole, eighth nomination tonight. Well, you know what they say, third time's a charm." -Ellen Degeneres
