I still want to see Kate Leopold. (Sting is on stage performing is nominated song. I wonder if Kymberlie is watching - she loves Sting.
) What happened to the red dress Enya was wearing when she came in to the awards? I really liked that dress, and now she s wearing a silver gray shiny one. It s pretty, but I liked the other one better.
Either way, her voice is awesome! I didn t realize that is John Goodman singing I Wouldn t Have Nothing if I Didn t Have You from Monsters, Inc. I like that song, it s really sweet.
Thank goodness Faith Hill changed out of her PAAS inspired dress and is wearing classic black as she sings the song from Pearl Harbor. I really don t think there is a nicer way to put it. Well, at least she brushed her hair, but then she teased it.
Way too much. Oh! If I Didn t Have You won!
It won! I didn t think it would win, it is so spunky and upbeat. It s such a great song!
It won! Yeah! Randy Newman has been nominated SIXTEEN TIMES and he finally won!
Sixteen! He s like the Susan Lucci of the Oscars! And he WON!
! Anyone else think Marisa Tomei s dress looks funky? What was up with the cord going from her neck to underneath her arm?
Hmm. EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
! Gwyneth just came out on the stage in that DRESS!!
! WTF??
? Why didn t someone stop her? She has small boobs, and what she has is just hanging there, sort of saggy, just BAD.
Robyn posted this in my comments earlier, but as noted here, Ryan O Neal has been battling chronic leukemia for the past year. Leukemia is such a hard disease, and it explains why he looked puffy and almost unrecognizable. (Not as much in that photo as he did on TV.
) More information here. I m glad A Beautiful Mind isn t quite sweeping the Academy Awards like they did the Golden Globes. I haven t seen it, so I can t say if it was a good movie or a bad one, I m just happy to see LOTR and other movies win more awards.
This has not been the year for gorgeous dresses, but I think Sharon Stone looked pretty awesome. Except for the moment on the red carpet when she looks like she was pulling out out of the crack of her butt. Did Barbara Streisand just pull a dress from the 70s out of the back of her closet to wear tonight?
I mean uh, well I guess we could say her look is timeless - she s wearing the same styles she wore long ago. She has been known to look a *lot* better then she does tonight. Robert Redford is still hot (too old for me, but still hot, and that rich dreamy voice ).
Russell Crowe is still not. Don t like the hippy look with the beard. One problem with the Oscars this year was the screen at the back of the stage - they would show little clips of the films way back there, and especially during things like most artistic you couldn t see them.
Nicole Kidman was ROBBED!!!
!!!
They gave best actress to Halle Berry. Yeah, even Halle is stunned and speechless because it should have been Nicole s! Ok, now I may have to join Robyn with the I hate Halle Berry speech because her boo-hoo acceptance speech is a bit much.
And is this speech ever going to end? Quick, someone drag her off the stage! She s thanking her lawyers!
Is she the first black woman to win best actress? That s what it sounded like when she first got up there. Well, from what I could understand through her sobs wails When did Uma Thurman get such giant boobs?
I swear didn t always look like that Whoopi just said about Halle Berry that it was a very large door and I m glad she kicked it down so I guess she must be the first black woman to have won Best Actress. DENZEL!!
! I was *really* hoping Denzel would win Best Actor - and he DID IT!!
! w00t! Go Denzel!
It s his second Oscar, but his other one was for best supporting actor. Go Denzel! I m so happy for him!
Hehehehe 40 years I ve been chasing Sidney, and what do they do? The give it to me and what do they do? They give it to him in the same night!
(Sidney Poitier was given a lifetime achievement award earlier.) Sidney stood up in the balcony box that he was in and held his Oscar up to Denzel. He s about to make me cry I have truly enjoyed his work and I am so glad he won it!
(And Russell Crowe didn t! *meow*) By the way, if you want even MORE Oscar stuff, you can always go to the official site. Know what makes Tivo cool?
Instead of watching commercials I just rewound the Tivo and watched Denzel s speech again! He has done some really good work over the years, I m glad to see him win it. I want Moulin Rouge or LOTR to win best picture.
I don t think LOTR will get it. Just not Hollywood s style. My guess is it will be A Beautiful Mind or Gosford Park ok, now that I have said that I will push play on the Tivo and see who it is I knew it.
Didn t it win the Golden Globe for best picture too? Oh, the producer just said it was really close - I wonder who it was close with? Wow, I didn t realize that Denzel Washington was only the second black man to win Best Actor.
Sidney Poitier won the other one. And that ends my Oscar coverage until next year! I still want to see Kate Leopold.
