Wow - no Oscar thread? Did anyone watch? Agree/disagree with the awards. And most importantly - the gowns...what was your favorite? Who should fire their stylist? |

My big question of the night: What the hell is up with Goldie Hawn's face? Bad work? She looked very strange to me and I can't put my finger on it. I did watch and it seemed that the "star" turnout" was a bit thin overall to me. My personal favs: Kate Winslet. Her gown was not my fav compared to others I've seen her wear, but I thought overall she looked lovely and very very elegant. Ditto Meryl. Understated, but lovely and elegant. I also thought Anne Hathaway looked STUNNING and that gown was just I think that was my favorite dress for sure. Taraji P Henson (sp??) looked stunning as well.I thought Angelina looked lovely but a tad, ho hum, ditto Jennifer Aniston. Heidi Klum looked like she was wearing one of the designs from Project Runway that failed. It didn't fit and was all wrinkly in the wrong places. Nice color though. I thought Hugh Jackman looked wonderful and did a great job. RObert DOwney Jr. Looked quite smashing as well. Oddly, other than the belt, I thought Miley Cyrus' dress was very pretty. Interesting, but not tacky. It reminded me of fish scales. I did not agree with all the picks, and I was horribly bummed that Peter Gabriel didn't sing his song from Walle. The man could sing Old MacDonald and I would get chills and demand to hear more. I was disappointed that they didn't show any clips from the nominees and that they didn't play the nominated songs in their entirety. If you want to hear Peter Gabriel's song "Down to Earth" click below and ENJOY!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTQD0weUTF8 Edited by jillincolorado, Feb 23 2009, 02:09 PM.

OMG, I thought the same thing! Mr. Delia was in the kitchen when they first showed her, so I shrieked, paused (thank you Tevo) and made him come in to look. She looks like she had the same bad plastic surgeon as Meg Ryan. Weird lips, puffy cheeks and something strange going on around the eyes. I thought Penelope Cruz and Merisa Tomei looked particularly good. And was Jack Black drunk? It seemed like he was loaded! Very sad and touching when Heath Ledger's family came up to accept his award. It must have been so hard for them. |

I thought that Mickey Rourke should have gotten the Oscar over Sean Penn. I think people were pretty surprised he didn't. Sean Penn is a great actor but he really is an asshat. He knows it, hence is speech.. but it does make it hard to like him. I think Mickey deserved it the most. Loved Anne Hathaway's singing too! I have always adored Hugh Jackman. He's my Leopold...

That's it! I thought, "Joker lips...puffy eyes..." The Kiltman thought it too, and he doesn't normally notice things like that. We stopped the TIVO and did a retake too. Here she is: and for comparison...last spring...

Cheek implants gone wrong all the way. Thought the oscars were boring even with my lover Hugh being the M.C. Sean was a total ass his comment about homo loving was rather irrating. Also the teller prompter reading by most of the actors was bad. Do they not practice before they say there lines? It was a rather muted show. |

I missed Goldie, but did love Anne Hathaway and P. Cruz's dresses, Kate looked stunning, didn't love the dress but the hair and face - perfect! I hated Miley's look, the dress on a different person perhaps, but not appropriate for her, Vanessa Hudgins dress was hideous as well. Heidi's dress was neat but not for the Oscars, but damn, that woman has a rock'in body. Angie's earrings were fabulous, I loff emeralds, I am sure I will never be so lucky but a girl can dream. I wasn't too surprised on the winners, thought Rourke might get it, but knew Penn was tough competition for it. |

Just looking at the pix Jilli posted, my immediate reaction is that GH should skip the face work, and just have her teeth straightened and whitened. I think that would make a huge difference. She'll have DaVinci veneers soon, which will be way too much. I loffs me some white, straight teeth, but those veneers are too perfect. |

I said the same thing...I mean these folks memorize lines for a living right, can't their people get them the lines before hand so they aren't so caught off guard about what they are going to say??? |
