Old fashioned glamour. Off a little to the left!
2007 Oscar Wrap-Up! — If you want to read some good contemporary and stylish writing then read this Mike Sampson piece on the JoBlo website. It’s a run down of the last Oscars Show. It just nails it by doing a minute-by-minute analysis. Personally I liked the show and I liked the cornball Ellen and her bits. Some of the American reviewers were harsh for no good reason. Sampson is harsh for good reason and this is a great breakdown. If you watched the Oscars you’ll love this article. If you didn’t watch it’s even better! This guy writing online is another reason newspapers are dying. He’s killing them while sitting on his couch.
11:19 – Now Beyonce is here and she’s determine to let this Oscar winning “American Idol” reject know who’s boss. She really starts belting out the tune. Almost in the face of Hudson. She’s smiling but that smile but it’s almost an evil smile like, “I’m gonna blow you off the stage with the sheer force of my voice.” A catfight may ensue and then, THEN, we’ll have an Academy Awards folks.
11:23 – No catfight.
Funny as it is… The Oscars are such a load
Q:Do normal people really care as much as the media would like?
A:Probably
Since I didn’t nor would I ever watch the Oscars, this piece was great. Had me laughing a lot. Especially the Al Gore stuff.
But, I will admit, I did want to see Letters from Iwo Jima win best picture and one of my favorite actors win best actor….Peter O’ Toole. God, he was sooooooo good as a leecher.
oscars? who cares, really?
I liked the Clint Eastwood / Ennio Morricone translation the best. I suppose a lot of folks in the audience wished they could act like The Man with No Name.
According the Nielsen the early results was 87 million viewers tuned in for some of the coverage, and that’s just in the US. That’s a average 20.1/30. Compare that to your favorite TV show. Somebody still cares.
1. As if Jennifer Hudson is fit to shine Cate Blanchett’s Manolos… pffft! In fact, as if anyone is…
2. I never cared for Melissa Etheridge’s voice, now I have another reason to not like her; heterophobia. “This is the only naked man that will ever be in my bedroom.” How nice. If a straight guy were to’ve said it, every “diversity” hypocrite would burst into flames and demand his head on a pike for being “homophobic.” I guess overt disrespect for other peoples’ sexuality is only OK for gays, huh? Fucking PC “diversity” hypocrite.
She only won for that song because they couldn’t give the award to the Dixie Chicks. That song was the worst.
I really like Ellen and her particular sense of humor is right up my alley… reminds me a lot of my best friend.
As for the show, it certainly was an Al Gore love fest.
