| For about two seconds I considered going straight when confronted with THIS! Then I took a look to the left and settled back into my Gay Comfort Zone - admit it, Brad's leg is sexier. |
Okay, where do I start? What do I say that hasn't already been said? Well, here we go with Ron's Stream of Consciousness Thought:
- What was the deal with Angelina's right leg? Did it have a hard on?
- Billy Crystal was great as the host.....however
- Not original Billy with the ageist jokes about Christopher Plummer's age, not funny either.
- Another "What Was The Deal With?..." Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow? I never got the charm ?) of
Mr. Reform Druggie ex-convict Robert Downey, Jr. Somebody tell me why he thinks he's funny and relevant? I have to give Gwinnie props for trying to save that awkward Banter Moment - And yet another "What Was the Deal With?" the Cirque du Soleil performance? I thought this was the Oscars, not Las Vegas. Okay, okay. We got it. Cirque du Soleil is SO COOL (but I did see one guy fall on his ass during one of the acrobatic tumbles so they're not PERFECT)
- I was very disappointed in Emma Stone. She doesn't do BANTER well. Of course she had as her Banter Partner Ben Stiller, MR. LARGE EGO. Both were VERY BORING.
- And PUH-LEEZE....enough with Jenny From The Block and her boop-boop-pit-de-doo Little Girl Voice and Plunging Neckline gown. We got it Jo-Lo, WE GOT IT. You're hot (at least in your own mind)

Let's see, what else can I bitch about? Who was the dude in the audience with the maharaja head do with the bling? Yeah, we SAW you. Like , WHO ARE YOU?
Of course the first recipient of an award bounds up on the stage with shoulder length white hair. WTF? Yes, WE SEE YOU.

So have the Hollywood Trendsetters signaled that long hair is back in style again? Even Brad Pitt had long hair, albeit it greasy.. Oh don't tell me, "It's for a role." Brad didn't look to bad this time. At least he trimmed that scraggly beard he had the last time he deigned to appear in public before his Adoring Fans. Wash you hair the next time Mr. Sex Pot, it looks better when it's blonde and fluffy.
Oh let's see (I knew I should have taken notes last night while I was watching the Oscar
I was SO GLAD Octavia Spencer won Best Supporting Actress. I LOVE THAT woman. By the way, who the HUNK with her? WOWSIE!

| Gorgeous Octavia! |
I didn't see that silent movie and I don't think I will. I don't go for the Cute Factor. If you all think silent movies are the new Trend, let's see how many they make this year. I'll go out on a limb and make a prediction: NONE.
I didn't see "Hugo" either and probably won't. I'm not into cutsie poo kiddie pictures. Don't get me wrong, I like kids (as long as they're well behaved) but I don't go for the Hollywood Kiddies. They don't seem genuine to me. Way TOO CUTE (hear that Dakota Fanning?)

Oh, I almost forgot. What was that with the Focus Group skit? That was downright embarrassing. I thought it was a spoof on comedy skits, just to see how GAWD AWFUL a bunch of old Hollywood writers could write a bad skit. NOT FUNNY.
So let's see, what else? One good thing, the Oscar cast wasn't three hours long this time. I thought the Ellen DeGeneres J. C. Penney commercials were funny. Hey, that's me. She's funny in just about anything she appears in or does. Unlike that lame Focus Group skit.
Oh, and another "I almost forgot"....what was the deal with the Popcorn Ladies strolling down the aisles handing out boxes of popcorn? Were WE trying to replicate an old movie theater experience? Me thinks so. Only problem, I didn't see them charging anything for the popcorn. Hey Producers of the Oscars, if you're going to mimic the Old Time Movie Experience, charge $10.00 for the popcorn. And also have a sullen, teenage pimply kid hand out the popcorn, not some beautiful Babes. Talk about Fantasy Land. And thinking about it, if you really wanted to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT...have some hunky guys handing out the popcorn. Now that would get me attention plus recognize that there are a LOT of gay guys and women in the audience. In fact, a LOT MORE than the Old White Men who control Hollywood.
I can't get that image of Angelina's Hard On Leg out of my mind. Help me somebody!

| It was close but the director of "The Artist" was the Most Boring Idiot on the stage last night -BORING! |
















uh oh, is someone having his man period this AM? :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch and I don't care. spouse watched the whole thing. the only movie he saw out of the ones nominated was "the artist".
smooches!
Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteOh I just let "it" flow baby, let it flow!
Love the recap.
ReplyDeleteThe hottie with Octavia was Tate Taylor, director of The Help.
I saw The Artist and loved it. No sound, black-and-white, but so joyful.
I don't bother with award shows but I enjoyed this recap anyway!
ReplyDeletem.
I'm glad that the time difference meant that I couldn't watch this live. Well, I suppose I could have but it only started at 11.30 p.m. - and I wasn't going to endure a late night/early morning assault on my already low cringe-tolerance.
ReplyDeleteI have a few slight disagreements about what you say above, Ron, but that's people for you. However, as someone who also doesn't like wise-cracking kids coming out with bon-mots beyond their years, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if you saw 'Hugo'. In so many ways a really remarkable film which I'd gladly see again.
What's with the dwarf jibes? Watch it, or I'll sic an elf on you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI loved and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the French guys from "The Artist" production team kissing all over each other the whole night. Why are we so backwards in America that we can't express joy and admiration the way the French do?
ReplyDeleteSo glad I didn't watch... Love your commentary.
ReplyDeleteRon,
ReplyDeleteSorry, didn't get most of your comments having not watched this thing. If I want to see the movie, I'll see the movie and make my own judgment. Got better things to do with my time then Oscars anymore.
I don't even know who thee people in your pictures are.
Liked the snow geese.
lar
The hunky guy with Octavia Spencer was Tate Taylor, director and screen-writer of The Help.
ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on Tate Taylor. What a nice looking man and with a great smile all night. I'll see "Hugo" now that you have told me your like it. I will probably like it too since I think we have the same taste.
Mark,
ReplyDeleteI don't usually watch the awards shows either because they are so long and boring and I just can't stand all those acceptance speeches thanking everyone that ever entered their lives. I used the Mute button a lot last night. I did want to see Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer win, that's why I stayed up late.
Walt,
ReplyDeleteIronically, I am attracted to short guys. Go figure. What I don't like is someone who is short pretending that they're not short. Especially the short guys with big heads, both literally and figuratively. I like tall guys too. I just don't like mean or swishy, effeminate guys.
Ray,
ReplyDeleteYou're the second person who recommended "Hugo" which I will see now. Thanks!
Cubby,
ReplyDeleteOur Puritan (hypocrite) foundation is almost impossible to overcome. I've met straight men who would rather suck dick than actually kiss a man on the lips. Married guys. You probably have too. I've never been able to figure that one out.
Mellissa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment. I don't usually watch awards shows either but I forced myself through this one in hopes of seeing Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis win an Oscar. I got half my wish.
Larry,
ReplyDeleteYou didn't miss much. Billy Crystal had some funny moments but mostly the Oscar Fest was another bore. I can't stand all those acceptance speeches, especially the ones thanking their little babies for "supporting them" and "it would of have been possible if...." Give me a break. WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR KID? !?
Desperate Artist,
ReplyDeleteTate Taylor, thanks! What a nice looking man.
Ron,
ReplyDeleteI can't get that image of Angelina's Hard On Leg out of my mind. Help me somebody!
LOL!! You're hysterical. LOL!!
and YES! for Meryl Streep, she's got my vote! I'd loved her in Mama Mia - I didn't realized she could sing. I watch that movie now whenever I need a pick me up!
Love the Rant!
Judy (from NC)
Thank you Judy (from NC)!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just have to rant. I know I lose some folks with my rants but oh it is so much fun just to go "unplugged."
Ron
Your Oscar observations are extremely apt and amusing. I think the entire affair has turned into a tawdry carnival rather than an award show.
ReplyDeletePersonally,I didn't like Angelina or her leg......she could turn a straight man gay.
I also didn't like Crystal's incessant "age" jokes about Christopher Plummer.
Jon,
ReplyDeleteI don't "get" Angelina either. My neighbor thinks she is (Angelina) is the most beautiful woman in the world. What?
I didn't like Crystal's incessant age jokes either. Not funny.
