The 78th Annual Academy Awards were on this past weekend, and oh, what a celebration it was! Chock full o' trannies, pimps and intolerance (all beautifully expressed through interpretive dance, of course!). I loved it! Only in Hollywood can important social issues be made into miniature slow motion dance recitals, yay! Any who, let's get to the goods, shall we? I found myself thinking many important thingees while watching the ceremony... here we go:
1. I noticed that quite a few people who had no reason being at the Oscars, were indeed there. Such as, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. Now, I give Marc credit - he can act. No one plays a more convincing skinny Latino high school ruffneck better than him (I think the Oscar trophy weighs more than he does). But, ain't no reason for him to be taking up two seats with his wife at the Oscars. Hmm, who else? Jennifer Garner. I love her, but she's a tv star ... why is she there? I doubt "13 Going On 30" brought Academy members down on their knees in praise. If I marry a lawyer, that doesn't automatically make me one too. So, Jenny G, just 'cause you married an Oscar winner, don't mean you have one! On a side note, did you see when Jenny G slid on her way to the mic? That ain't right. How much you want to bet JLo did some brujeria on her ass? Latinas hold grudges, I wouldn't put it past her.
2. A whole section needs to be devoted to this -- Russell Crowe's damned curl. Ain't no
reason a man over 2 feet tall should have a curl on his forehead. And, Russell, don't act like you woke up and it just happened that way! That curl took time and effort. That curl had spritz and gel on it. Fire your stylist, and brush your hair back, ugh. Side note: Did you see John Travolta's hair-tastrophe? Alls I'm saying is this - ch, ch, ch, Chia! It hurts to say that, because I love my Danny Zuko.
3. The technical achievement Oscars - um, we already know that particular ceremony took place about 3 weeks ago, so do us a HUGE favor and please stop trying to fool us into thinking that Rachel McAdams is talking to Jon Stewart in real-time. Idiots.
4. During the short technical awards portion of the show, I flipped through the channels, and on the Family Channel they were showing "Cruel Intentions." Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that movie promote like absolutely no family values?
5. Congrats to Reese. She wasn't my first pic for Best Actress, but she did a good job none the less. I just hope she can hold on to Ryan and Oscar simultaneously. If not, girl, I got your back .... oh, sorry, I meant I got your husband, whoops. (Apparently, I'm not above home-wrecking.)
6. Valentino-Gate - Here's the scandal: Valentino did a press release a day before the awards stating that approx. 3 female starlets would be wearing his designs. But, none of them did! Oh, it's on now! Valentino's gonna cut a b*tch (or just dress them in polyesther without telling them!).
