    1. It was probably Mo'nique's and she just took it.

  2. Let's show all the black people in the audience to make up for not nominating.

  3. Oooooo, liam. Grrrrrr. And, nph seems like someone told him to tone it down tonight, doesnt it?

  4. Why is BCoop's date always his mom? Isn't he still with Sooki?

    ReplyDelete
  5. It's official, I sat next to a future Oscar winner and didn't know it!

  6. NPH is kinda killing it.

    2. Haha! I was wondering if that was staged or it was one helluva coincidence since they showed it right when the line "No one is drunk and bitter yet because no one has lost" :)

  8. I hate that I'm on the road missing all the dresses. Bummer. Guess I'll need to log onto E! to see what you're talking about.

    2. Hey there Lotta. Nice to see you. Just heading back to the Bay Area after being in the country. Should be home soon but I'll have missed most of the show by then.

  9. Wes Anderson can film his next movie under JLo's giant dress.

  10. Uh I'm 31 and Nicole Kidman's face looks younger than mine..THATS a problem

  11. Gina- i was looking at pics over on daily mail, and many of our actors have screwed with their faces. Take a look at Rosanna Arquette, Tim Mcgraw, who also seems to hv gotten plugged, to mane a few. Kelly o, give it up already with purpleass hair. Really. Most of the women look beautiful.

    1. I know right? I just think it's very unnatural for a woman of her age to look 20 years younger then she actually is

      Delete
  12. I checked out the pics on Eonline and wonder where some big names are like Clooney and Brangelina, Tom Hanks and that Ilk. Where are those folks? Like someone mentioned on the other post pointed out seems like it's a newer crowd what w/Gaga and Whora and the Katrashians.

    1. No Brad, no George, No Tom....i don't even think I saw Ben Affleck or Matt Damon

      Delete
    2. Whoa! Really Gina? What the hell is going on here? Royalty doesn't show in support. Could it be a Sony hacking backlash? What about Rogen or Apatow or Cameron? Something is totally up. Maybe the addition of Kelly O and Khloe made them realize the Oscars aren't as glamorous as they used to be.

      Delete
    3. Sherry- none of them have a movie in competion, so they taking the night off! Lol

  13. I liked a few minutes ago when NPH called Jason Bateman the most well-adjusted former child star in the room. It criticizes several people in the room, but NPH can get away with it since it includes him too. A little sly.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ya, I'll be turning over to Downton when it's time.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm late, missed most of the red carpet. Anna Kendrick's coral dress was pretty. I like the green on Scarlett, need to see the whole thing. JLo needs a new look, don't love Gwyneth's pink. Oh here is Tim....looks like he's had work. Congrats to JK Simmons, love him!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Goop "My friend" Paltrow. She's so bloody proud of everyone she knows :eye roll:

    ReplyDelete
  17. I missed the set-up to NPH in his underwear. Did they pretend he got behind on a costume change and just had to get out there? All I know is I looked up and there he was not so dressed....

    ReplyDelete
  18. Did all the A++++ peeps skip the red carpet?

    This is so dull. I'm totally going to switch over to my DVR'd Downton in no time at all.

    Jared Leto's hair. Just stop it.

    1. Agree, I'm pretty bored. Ohn, happy Patricia won, loving her speech!

  19. Ya I'm between watching girls now catching up on Oscars, hate Gwennys pink flower. Then get caught up and watch looking on hbo, then back. No commercials! And I agree NPH is a very well adjusted child star!

  20. Go Patricia!
    Also I liked when they showed Emma Stone during her nomination and she was holding a Lego Oscar in support of the Lego movie which didn't get an Animated Movie nomination.

    1. @WUWT: I saw a lot of animated movies last year, w/ my son. I rated Lego an Eh. It wasn't horrible, but nothing special.

      Delete
    2. I didn't see the movie (I don't think I saw a single nominated movie this year, huh); I just like that Emma showed support with a Lego Oscar.

      Delete
    3. Count! You're still here! We were wondering where you'd gone to!

      Delete
    4. She didn't really. It was given to her during the "everything is awesome" performance

      Delete
    5. Gina: I started watching about 8:25 CT, and missed all that. Thanks for giving it context for me.

    6. @Robin: I'm still alive and kickin. I'm a conflict poster at heart. If there is ever anyone here in need of being trolled, click on my profile and get my email address.

  21. Congrats to Patricia Arquette. Gandolfini roughing her up in True Romance is an all time fave scene.

  22. Is anyone else seeing random feathers falling from the ceiling?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Maybe they're leftovers from the Birdman sketch? Didn't someone say they did one?

  24. Felicity Jones looks terrified

    ReplyDelete
  25. How many bars before JHud starts screaming her lungs out? And that key is too low for her.

    ReplyDelete

    1. Amazingly restrained for her. I like how they put her vocals lower in the mix so you couldn't hear her as much.

    1. Hi, Lady H!

      Easy premise for a hit show. Daddario, naked, in slo motion. One week she walks across a room. The next week she scratches a buttcheek. Week after that, she opens a fridge and bends over to peek in. It would generate more ratings for HBO than the current bridge from News Room to GOT.

      Delete
    2. LOL @count!!! I'd totally recap that every Sunday on here ;)

      I just thought about you the other day, as I saw that the article "Ass Is the New Pussy: Why Anilingus is on the Rise" was nominated for a Media Award by the Council on Contemporary Families!

      Delete
  27. Didn't care for how they blared the music over the "In Memorial" segment. It felt rushed.

    ReplyDelete
  28. WTF Terrence Howard?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I rather like David's red/burgundy tux. Sadly I've seen none of these documentaries and I prefer them to regular cinema lots of the time.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This John Legend/Common performance is the highlight of the show for me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Gotta hand it to John Travolta, he's able to laugh at himself. And Common is one hot man.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Never mind, Idina Menzel just made my night.

  35. I don't understand what's happening right now.

  36. No no no. LadyHaha (typo and it stays) singing the sound of music? I'll give her this. She actually sounds amazing. Is that really her? Shit, I am impressed and floored.

    1. She deserved that standing ovation. She really really did. I would have preferred a head voice on the last "dream" but she carried it off. And what did Julie do to her face? Does it look different to anyone else?

    2. Gaga killed it.

  37. Wow between GBH and Whiplash, it looks like the American Sniper predictions may have been off base, along with the Birdman.
    Ugh give us the good categories already!

  38. That speech is awesome.

    1. I want Pulp Fiction era Samuel L Jackson to host. "WHAT? IS THAT A COUNTRY?"
      toss in a little Snakes on the Plane and it would be gold. :)

  42. Gaahhh. I hate that beard on the Texas T-Rex.

    Knew Julianne would get the award. Haven't seen any of these nommed films either.

  43. Julianne is now half way to winning an EGOT.

  44. Sean Penn attempted to tell a joke and crack a smile. The earth wobbled a bit.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I gasped when he said that until my bf explained that they are close friends (he said Penn was in one of his movies? 21 grams) so I guess it was an insider sort of jab. Still..

  45. Well I'll be damned.
    I hope another person thanks their dog :)

    1. I think it was between Birdman and Boyhood, so not too much of an upset. I was pulling for Boyhood.

  47. It was 20 years ago David Letterman hosted. He should have come out tonight to do "Oprah...Oyelowo. Oyelowo...Oprah."

    ReplyDelete
  48. So did anyone figure out which female celebrity/actress wouldn't name her dress designer? That's all I got (didn't watch, will see hilights mañana).

    ReplyDelete
  49. Why wasn't Joan Rivers in the "In Memorium" segment? She was in movies and I remember she was a huge part of the Oscars as a red carpet interviewer/commentator. If this was a deliberate snub because some people have been offended by her before she passed, shame on the Academy.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I agree...she should have been mentioned and Elaine Stritch was left out too. What a pity!!

  50. It was odd not to see Clooney, Brangelina, Damon, etc. there. I'm surprised Angelina wasn't there since Unbroken was up for several awards. On the bright side, no Jennifer Lawrence. NPH was awkward and mostly cringe-worthy. That mess with his Oscar predictions in the briefcase at the end really pissed me off. It was 12.30a, I just wanted to see who won Best Picture so I could go to bed and he's wasting more time with that ish.

    Of all the Best Picture nominees, the only one I've seen was The Grand Budapest Hotel and that was before it was nominated. I like most of the actors in it (which is why I saw it to begin with), but it was a disappointment to me. I don't really understand why it got all the nominations it did, especially Best Picture.

    ReplyDelete
  51. That's right no Jennifer Lawerence either. Hmm. Wonder what the boycott was.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Was Jack Nicholson even there? I didnt see him.

  53. clooney/amal
    brad/angelina
    amy adams and other big names involved in the sony hack were at the
    night before party in hw b4 the oscars but had nothing to do with the oscar ceremony
    don't know the direct link between the sony link and siting out oscars other than showing the big wigs "if you think you don't need big stars have your biggest money making party without us"
    i guess they wanted to prove to hw executives how much star power is worth and when missed
