Oscar Snarkfest continued

  • Great dress, Annette. Too bad that lawnmower ran over your hair before the show.
  • Just a thought. I wonder how often Yo-Yo Ma has to hear someone say, “Hey, Yo Ma-Ma!”
  • Josh Groban: love child of Zamfir and Celine Dion? You make the call.
  • I don’t know what magic is keeping Hillary Swank’s dress on, but…it literally has no back. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but if her speech goes on much longer, I’m lobbying for a wardrobe malfunction.
  • Gwyneth Paltrow, who has had some of the great wardrobe hits and misses of Oscar night, got it right this year. And she combed her hair, Annette.
  • Ahhh, does anyone besides me still recognize the theme from “Chinatown” instantly? Still some of the most evocative music in film history.
  • Jamie Fox. Great mimic AND he thanks his grandma. I love that guy.
  • Herb, who believes people fall into two major groups, thinks Julia Roberts has moved from: Group 1) people who need to eat a cheeseburger, to: Group 2) people who need to eat a salad. This, despite the obvious assets she is now sporting.
  • Well, it’s a bit of a letdown. Only 3 hours and 15 minutes, with no certifiably hideous gowns OR speeches. WAY too civilized.

    The best moment for me was when you and Herb became a comedy team. I think it was somewhere during the Beyonce number…

    You guys sharing a blog seems to work really well. Encore!

    Hear, hear! It’s not often I wake up to snark this good!

    With all due respect, and having enjoyed this post, I MUST point out, Julia Roberts just had twins. Cut her some slack.

    I know she just had twins. I’m impressed that she actually made it!

    That said, I’ve never really been a fan of Julia’s.

    You are all too kind. I myself spent as much time laughing at Mr. Sun’s Livemock of the Oscars as I did posting on my own. His poem to Hillary Swank is a thing of sheer brilliance.

    You stole some of my thoughts on Antonio, Annette — and most definitely Hillary Swank! Re Hillary — there was something swampy about the back of that dress.

    Josh Groban? Who’s he?

    As you can probably tell, Television is something I do about once a decade.
