Red ... carpet??

Another day, another oscar ceremony full of movies i've never seen. Its amazing how little interest i had in so many of them... patrick dempsy in a musical?? so weird.

Highlights of the fashion:
Worst dress was definetly Rebecca Miller, Daniel Day-Lewis' wife... what WAS that thing? a broach? it must have weighed more her last three meals... and part velvet (hello, it's LA!) all tied up with 2 HUGE red bows on the sholders. to add insult to injury, the shoes?! How embarrassing. Daniel Day could also have considered some slightly looser pantaloons. He appears like a court jester.


Best dress i think was Helen Miren, fabulous red, fabulous sparkle sleves.
Another well fitted dress was wore by best actress winner Marion Cotillard.



The Ceremony
I'm sorry Roger Deakins didn't win for cinematography but winner Robert Elswit seemed like a really nice guy. Strong work.
Diablo cody? hmmm.... oscar politics i think but a good movie no less. Her dress was horrible and i think she new it after she had to walk on stage to collect her oscar...and then try to collect herself.
No Country for old men... please. seriously? Supporting Actor, Writer, Director and Picture. I'm dreaming.
I'm disspointed Transformers didn't win for visual effects and further that the only songs they could find to nominate came from the patrick dempsy musical... oh and poor cate blanchett she played a MAN fer christs sake.
The 'via video' presentation from bagdad or whatever was a little too glorifying for me to enjoy but my mom thought it was a good idea...
Jon Stewart was phenomenal... definetly made me laugh more then a few times.

all in all, it's over for another year. and it's so late here, toronto time zone is killer.
Goodnight goat!
Good night old man...
goodnight.

Dude you haven't seen enchanted!? It was an amazing movie...oh and patrick dempsey never sings into(thank goodness) but seriously some of the wins were just odd to me. I did like the girl who won best actress though.
