THE GREEN OSCAR
and i don't mean the grouch


i watched the oscar's last night. have to say that ellen degeneres did a smash up job as the host. her opening act was worth the entire show. i looked and looked on youtube to see if there was anything posted from last night... no go. will keep my eyes out, though.

jennifer hudson's acceptance speech is EXACTLY what makes the oscar's magical

ellen degeneres asking steven speilberg to take a picture of her and clint eastwood... classic... i nearly wet my pants when she reviewed the picture and made him do it again... this time "making it even on both sides."

loved that ennico moricone (LOVE his stuff) took home an oscar... music to THE MISSION is one of the best pieces composed.

true, i'm not a huge fan of hollywood pushing their own agendas at the oscar's (it's acting people) ... but i do support what al gore is trying to do... and i LOVED the joke they made at the end of his speech with leonardo dicaprio! hilarious!

have to say that i was really disappointed that melissa ethridge won last night. sure the song is fine... but, to me, it sounds just like all of the rest of her stuff... and compared to the music from dreamgirls??? really... it was better??? okay academy... whatever you say!

okay so i didn't see peter o'toole in his movie... but are you kidding me??? give the guy a stinkin' oscar already! he's freaking lawerence of arabia!

jack black and will ferrell singing about comedy actors... brilliant. nuff said.

all and all... i rather enjoyed watching. yes, 3 1/2 hours is WAY too long for any award show... but it's been a few years since i've gotten to see it and wasn't too disappointed.
