My favorite Oscar moments
1) Al Gore and Leonardo Dicaprio’s skit was hilarious! I loved that Al Gore was going to announce his formal presidential nomination but the music cut him off (pre-planned). That was priceless and I laughed my ass off!
2) Jennifer Hudson in her red dress on stage absolutely shined. She looked so volutpuous and curvy! Women with curves look so sexy when they pull it off well. Kudos! And Beyonce Knowles sang her heart out! The Dreamgirls sounded sensational!
3) Melissa Etheridge - I loved her song. Maybe I’m partial cause I’ve seen her in concert before and I just adore her, but she sounded phenomenal tonight. And a woman in a pantsuit is so sexy.
4) Jennifer Lopez’s dress. OMG. To die for! I totally wanted to paint her. She looked DIVINE. Beyonce’s dress (not the red one but the pre-Oscar dress) was shockingly gorgeous too!
5) Jerry Seinfeld was hilarious. He came out there on stage and told some completely unrelated jokes and got the crowd laughing sooo hard. Then said, “Now… on to the depressing documentaries…” That was priceless.
6) I loved the presenters (the two main stars from The Devil Wears Prada) bickering back and forth and then the camera zooming in on Meryl Streep who pretended to be pissed off. LOL. Very funny.
7) LMAO. Ellen Degeneres wearing that baby harness around her chest to hold the Oscar statue so she could imitate stars backstage trying to juggle the task of holding the statue while shaking people’s hands and having conversations! LOL
Ellen Degeneres going into the audience and asking Steven Spielberg to take a photo of her and Clint Eastwood together (while on the air) and then said, “No that’s not good enough - can you make it more centered?” LOL… cause she wanted to put it on Myspace.
9) Kelly Preston. Kelly Preston. Kelly Preston. mmmmm. *tingles all over my arms* I am still in love with her* I’ve had a crush on her ever since the movie Twins came out in 1988 and I was still a child. She is one of the very first women I have ever ever ever ever admired. And seeing her with John Travolta… wow… she STILL has it going on! She is soooo fine. Mmmm hmmmm….
10) Naomi Watts and Robert Downey Jr. were doing a skit and she was saying things like, “I got to experience things like… aliens and monsters and ghosts and spiders going up the wall…” (talking about movies she’d been in). And he said, “Yeah sounds like a typical daynight for me in the late 90s.”

overall a dull show, with a nice inoffensive host.
Ellen will probably host the show from now on..they’ve been looking for a replacement for Johnny Carson and Billy crystal…someone funny, but who is not going to offend the academy members like Chris Rock and Jon Stewart.
…they still need to cut about an hour from the show..they could probably do without the dance numbers and the boring clip sequences.

yeah very dull, I fast forwarded the whole thing pretty much - I didn’t listen to any of the acceptance speeches except maybe 1 or 2. I miss Chris Rock!!! He kicked ass as the host!!! And in my opinion WAAAAY funnier than Ellen!!!
the problem with a host like Chris Rock/Jon Stewart/David Lettermen, is that, although popular among the general public there brand of humor consists of poking fun at the rich and powerful…It’s a little harder to make that material work when the audience in front of you is the rich and powerful.
Ellen is more the “nice lesbian aunt” than the “voice of dissent”. She makes everyone relaxed regardless of politics..

1) I guess I’m too Peter O’Toole for all that. I miss Bob Hope.
Once again, Meg Ryan didn’t return my e-mails and once again we both stayed home. Be that way! I’m gonna wait for Abigail Breslin to grow up.
2) I did like Robert Downey Jr. Brace yourself, Bella. He’s another Duke-like dude.
3) There’s something so wholesome about Ellen that gets on my nerves. She make lesbianism seem so Episcopalian.
4) Majorly pissed that Rinko and her big, hairy monster didn’t win.
5) Penelope . . . (drooly Homer Simpson noise)
6) I think they need cut back on the number of great people who die each year. It’s really depressing. Can we substitute some assholes on Fox?
7) Al Gore. The guy keeps winning but he never gets anywhere.
9) 2007 Best Supporting Actor Oscars: New Mexico, golden; Everyone else, hind titty.
10) Why do these lists always have to go to 10?
