Oscar thoughts - Cons
1. The way they presented the acting Oscars this year was just wrong.
a. Five women presenting the Oscar for Best Actress? No! It's supposed to be the Best Actor from last year. If for some reason he can't be there, another past Best Actor winner should present it. Otherwise how do you get exciting moments like cute Adrien Brody kissing Halle Berry?
b. They said too much about each of the nominees. It sounded like each one was getting a lifetime achievement award.
c. Since they talked about the nominees for so long, they didn't have time to show clips of each of them in the role for which they were nominated. Shouldn't we get to see what makes them great performances?
2. They didn't show clips of the Best Picture nominees either. Nor did each of the songs get fully sung. Not only does that not show us why they are Oscar worthy, it gives us no opportunity to think, 'Hey, I should see that.'
3. I was excited to see Hugh Jackman hosting, but sadly disappointed by his opening number. There was just nothing memorable about it.
4. Way too much showing of 'Milk.'
and now for the clothes:
1.Tilda Swinton did not learn from last year.
2. Marissa Tomei had layers and a wide strap.
3. Mickey Rourke is way scary and the clothes didn't help.
4. Angelina Jolie's jewelry was made of kryptonite, and the top of her dress just was not flattering (though I actually liked the bottom, with it's flowingness and peak-a-boo slit).
5. Cute Adrien Brody - please clean up a bit.
6.Sophia Loren - please stop with the face lifts.
7. Heath Ledger's mom - oh my.
8. And Meryl Streep seriously needs to get rid of whomever dresses her.
