Oscar Red Carpet and Ceremony

[ArtisticFan]

I'm beginning to wish that the boulder had won in 127 hours. Franco is killing me.

Ugh...King's Speech. Total BS award. It looked like a TV movie. I knew The King's Speech would get Best Picture, but was hoping someone more creative would get Best Director.

Don't agree - that is an amazing movie - certainly not a TV movie - which I happen to think The Social Network has more claim to be IMOH.

kevin brownlow!

(his fluff piece runs non stop on TCM)

[Rex]

How many years are between Annette and Warren?

He was born in 1938, she in 1958 IIRC.

[Amy L]

Eli Wallach is the cutest little old man!

[Garden Kitty]

What was the soundtrack playing during the Coppola segment?

[The Accordion]

The score from Henry V always makes me tear up because it reminds me of Paul Wylie.

ITA :

ETA - so happy about director award - that film was beautifully directed IMO

Oh, he's really imploding here.

Annette's dress

I love Annette Bening but not in that dress.

I love the dress I think she looks amazing.

[Garden Kitty]

Annette's dress looks like a spider web.

I thought it looked more like that outline they put on a picture of a cow showing where the different cuts of meat are (although Benning herself looked great)

[topaz]

James looks like he needs a toke....loosen up dude.

He needs a joint. He should have smoked before the ceremony.

If it was me, I would have had a smoke before.

The boulder would have been a better co-host .

[orbitz]

no, I am pretty sure barbra agrees with you

I just didn't see any creative shots in The King's Speech or anything really daring. IMO Inception deserves Best Director the most, but I think The Black Swan or Social Network would've been much more interesting choices. The King Speech was a very straightforward telling of a typical feel-good story, IMO of course.

word. And he could have munched on all those goodies Wolfgang is preparing!!!

Snap.

The spider web idea wasn't doing it for me.

[reckless]

I'm wishing they televised the Governor's Awards not the Oscars. That sure looked like a lot more fun.

The whole soundtrack is just amazing.

It's from the Battle in Henry V. Highly recommend that soundtrack. Patrick Doyle's first score.

I don't think The King's Speech looked like a TV Movie, but I don't think it deserves Best Picture and definitely not Best Director.

He was born in 1938, she in 1958 IIRC.

So he is old enough to be her dad. Wow, still not as bad and Zeta Jones/Douglas.

Men don't age as well as women, IMO

I can't imagine having to do it with a 60 year old and I"m 40....
