Oscar recap (the good, the bad , the ugly)

So I am 48 hours late but that's what u get when u have to wait 24 hours to watch the taped version. (which btw I cheated and I checked my iphone at 7 am to see all the winners but managed to coerce a few friends with American salsa and chips and champagne to watch the coverage)

A few comments

1-Haven't seen the Hurt Locker- so I was at quite a disadvantage for the awards show. How anti climatic was the introduction by Tom Hanks of "Best Picture".
Red Carpet- due to watching the British version at the red carpet I now miss Ryan and Gialiana (she looks like a bobble head and is so annoying). The British red carpet crew was so pathetic they only could get Colin Firth and Colin Farrell to acknowledge their questions. ( we got the E version of the red carpet as well but I basically used up all our DVR by taping 8 hours of coverage)

2. SJP- Okay I am going to be HARSH- Sarah Jessica Parker looked so old- older than Meryl Streep- she needs eye work done pronto. Her hubby looked middle age and fat.
BTW I almost started crying when they did the John Hughes dedication- All of the stars looked so old (Ringwald, Broderick, Judd Nelson)- this translates into WE ARE OLD. (seems like yesterday I was watching 'pretty in pink"- I am sure it will be remade with Miley Cyrus next year.

3-Baldwin and Martin- funny liked a few of the bits but bring Mr Jackman back- I like song and dance by an Ozzie hottie.

4.Best Dressed- Penelope, Winslet, Clooney and girlfriend, Bullock (xcept that lipstick was a little too red for me ( I hate red), girl from Avatar in lavender

5. Worst Dressed- Matt Damon's wife (she just annoys me for no good reason), Kristen Stewert from twilight (could she snarl more in an annoying way), R Downy JR, SJP, Sigourney Weaver, Vera ( it lady from Up in the Air), Charlize Theron, Morgan Freeman (little known fact he broke up with his wife of 24 years and is dating his 26year old step granddaughter)- to say he lost points with me is an understatement.

6. Speeches all were awful- no vengeance or humor just boring shout outs to agents and lawyers.
