Oh! That is frightful.

Please go back after the Oscars to see Siun’s thread. Watch Lou Costello’s video too…

It used to be so much fun anticipating what Cher was going to wear!

Miley Cyrus? Why?

Thanks for the bump Loo Hoo. LINK

Disney film, Disney song, Disney’s biggest current cash cow child star…

Re James McEvoy, I thought he was good in Children of Dune and pretty funny as the younger brother in Wimbledon.

Who knew James McEvoy was Scottish?

I did…well only because I live with a brit and we have a ton of movies from across the pond

Cash cow? Try factory farm…

Kristen Chenoweth opened Wicked on Broadway

Okay, her voice is just making me itch

Cher does have quite the Bod

She’s a broadway regular and also was on West Wing for a while

Worst dress evah?
How could you forget?

So hows come we have all those red dresses showing up on women in DFH liberal Hollywood? No cobalt blue anyone?

That wasn’t a bad song.. but was it Oscar night worthy?

yep. No contest.

without clicking I say bjork

**cringe**

Ding Ding Ding!

waiting for the song from “once”, and seeing the now in love in real life co-stars performing it.

I still laugh when I think about that dress. It was the silliest looking thing I have ever seen.

if i went i might find one of these

http://americanhistory.si.edu/.....0-3021.jpg

Are any of them? ever? IMHO it’s the most bogus category in the whole mishigos.

i guess they wanted to show her singing chops….. or something

the dead bird dress.

me likey Oprah’s new hairstyle (commercial here)

me wish sh give me a million smackers

Off to watch the Wire, be back later

Hubby just ran inthe room..when he heard Halley’s name but stopped dead in his tracks upon seeing the pale chunky white men

who are these clowns trying to stretch a one liner joke into a routine?

ok switched to Pride and Prejudice

Now THAT is funny. *g* (The running in to see Halle thing, not the two guys…just to be clear there.)

I’ve got two hours till that comes on out here.

I think that would fall within the costume category. That’s no dress.

I haven’t seen any of the Bourne movies but I really liked the books.
I gotta get a DVD player.

Tivoing that. I can savor it better.

ive seen it at least 10 x and never get tired of it

Who is the person in the rather remarkable dress in the picture with this thread? It seems that her dressmaker ran out of fabric and her hairdresser wasn’t available today.

Oprah Uma
Uma Oprah

ok this is not witty repartee lol

the COMPLETE Jane Austen has been amazing(PBS)

But, but, but,
Because of the Writers’ Strike, the writers had only Eleven (11) days to write this stuff.
*g*

It’s a good one — though I’ve been disappointed in some of this “new” Masterpiece series. I liked the new Persuasion okay, but I thought the Northanger Abbey was bad.

the one and only devine Kim Bassinger

ask scarecrow about that. I think he has it memorized. He’s an unrepentant Jane Austin fanatic.

kim basinger.

that is pretty much his lizard brain :)

And Cher looked fantastic in them.

The dress pictured reminds me of one of those toilet paper covers that my aunt used to have in the bathroom.

Pix above: It’s Kim Basinger from the 1990 Oscars.

The only person I even recognized so far was Kristiin Chenowyeth. Now if this was the Americana Music Association awards, I’d recognize some of these people but I haven’t even been inside a movie theater since 1999 when I saw the South Park movie.

I am old.

Miss Austen Regrets was WONDERFUL

oh damn too late its over

she made it…iirc

I defer to scarecrow on this. The 10 yr. old P&P is by far the best version. He didn’t like the others in the series—they changed too much and to quote him in several of our back and forth e-mails, “there is no kissing in Jane Austin!”

That is a hideous dress

she never found her Mr. Darcy

see 52,she sews

wow . . . there are really a lot of fantastic female actors.

707!

They’ve really changed around the traditional order of things. Best Actress up now. They usually save that for almost the end.

It looked like my sister’s home ec project

and very sad that she made so little $$ in her lifetime for her work that gives enduring pleasure.

Julie Christy looks amazing!

Piaf wins.

wow - surprise surprise!!

wow ,i had a flash back of being at Blenheim with my dad and he asked the gardner ,how the lawn was soooooooo green,he said 400 years made it soooooooo hahahahaha

I hate to tell that girl that dress looks like she is wearing a carp.

I wish I could see Julie Christie’s dress. The color and neck line look fantastic.

genuine feeling

betcha people or the enquirere will have them all

i simply want a piece of salmon with mustard mayonaise sauce….no salmon though

the mother is priceless

Where’s Teddy? He’s missing all kinds of Colin Farrell material.

Damn just saw the Siegelman piece… wow.unbelievable. They have lost their minds

I think the only oscars i’ve been interested in, in the last several years have been the animated picture ones. Since those are always a mix of foreign and domestic ones depending on what gets over here. *grin* Have they announced it yet?

“they?”

Wow sorry but this song sucks (well the singing does)

repugs

Do you know if CBS has 60 minutes segments on their website? I’d love to see it… or maybe someone will put it up on YouTube.

im trying to imagine living in the 18th century

mute is my friend

Here’s Scott Horton on the 60 Minutes piece:

http://harpers.org/archive/2008/02/hbc-90002487

i hungry

Nice touch the ratty guitar with the holes worn in it.

/snark

Dirty fingernails.
Dirty pretty much everything.
Unless, you were Royalty.

someone posted that it is already up. I think it was in the previous Oscar thread

JACK!

cheese omlette?

oh thanks

no baths huh

You can see it here.

Jack….Connects the humanity (hey, hey, hey) in all of us.

no antibiotics

no telephones

no telephones sounds like a plus in some ways

no prolonged primaries.

I think I am the only person in the world who hated Forest Gump

Now that they are reviewing all the movies that won pic of the year, kind of makes you wonder why some these movies won……

Dances with Wolves?

i loathe the telephone in ALL its forms
“what fresh hell is this”

Oh nevermind, i found it. *grin* Figures the Pixar film would take it this year once again. But those writers are good in ways that have been years in the making it.

That little Rene is so cute.

Poor Rene. Can we take up a collection to get the poor girl some eyes. She’s just so squinty all the time!

No, you aren’t.

Renee looks good…she finally ate a sammich. She was looking a bit scary for a while there

i love RobinWright Penn

all-time omg–Bjork’s swan dress : >

tonight’s very blah–the Edith Piaf actress looks good tho…and short hair is nice on Zellweger.

Nicole Kidman is entirely plastic now –scary

Nope. I hated it too.

I wish Nicole would let her hair be curly, much prettier IMHO.

wtf is Nicole wearing?

i love Nicol she needs to STOP THE BOTOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX oy

That’s why I hated Forest Gump. (I adore her too) I thought her the treatment of her character (not her fault) embodied every horrible stereotype inflicted on women of my (baby boom) generation.

What a necklace!

Not sure, but the necklace is lassoing her breast in a most distracting fashion.

She’s going to be Val Plame on film.

Four words for Cameron Diaz: blotting papers and matte powder. Just needed to say that…I bet it’s hotter than hell in that theater with all of those people crammed together in it.

Something that fits a fourth months pregnant woman…

They say Cameron’s career is totally over because of her skin and hi-def. It’s sad.

Kudos to 98 year old Mr. Boyle.
he looks good.

I say Jessica Alba has the best baby dress.

Okay now everybody, who is willing to admit: How many of us practiced our Oscar acceptance speech in the bathroom mirror when we were kids?

Kidman’s color looks really unhealthy–as if she’s consumptive or something.

Wow, that sucks. Can’t they do a dermabrasion magic thing? Or some sort of underbase filler?

You know, I had lunch with all those women the other day.
And, they all had really fabulous things to say about your squinty eyes and necklaces.
I guess it’s all in fun, huh?
And, PS, I liked Forrest Gump.
harummmmph.
But, really, they all had nice things to say.
I guess they can afford to.

the camera isnt kind

Her dress washes her out badly, and it is very wrinked. She’s looked really good in the past, tonight, not so much.

Love the Marion Cotillard win. Here is La Vie en Rose sung by Edith Piaf.

Really? I hate those ostrich feathers on it. The plum color was gorgeous, though. I liked the Cotiallard dress best thus far.

Well it didn’t take long for the media to turn on Obama, CNN is now running a poll on “Does Obama Show Proper Patriotism to be President.” Creates a nice contrast of course with Uber Patriot McCain, details & contact info at Kos: http://www.dailykos.com/story/.....409/463353

For fear of Godwin coming down on me, how is that different from asking, in another place and another time,if Obama is a good German?

thank you muchly
