Oscar Observations

In no particular order:

1. Justin Bieber cameo: Love him or hate him (I'm indifferent), his cameo was funny.
2. The grand art deco set.

3. Cirque de Soleil performance. 
4. Refreshingly Anne Hathaway free! 
5. Will Ferrel and Zach Galifianakis' cymbal bit. It was silly, but effective.

6. James Earl Jones accepting his Oscar on the stage in London.
7. Billy Crystal reading minds. "Billy didn't tell me he was filming that kiss," and Nick Nolte grunts.
8. Emma Stone's bit with first-time-Oscars excitement. Ben Stiller really did seem annoyed.

9. Fast forwarded through 98% of the speeches.
10. A powder blue tux on Oscar night. (Thanks, Carl Swebo!)
11. The Scorsese drinking game with Melissa McCarthy and Rose Bryne. Scorsese!

12. Christian Bale's true accent.
13. Jean Dujardin wins! Formidable!
14. (But I was kinda hoping Gary Oldman would win.)

15. In the videos, didn't Tom Cruise look like he just got him some fresh botox?
16. Um, Bret McKenzie just won an Oscar.
17. Nick Nolte looks like Anthony Hopkins.


18. I wish someone was assigned to straighten all the men's bow ties, both on the red carpet and before they came out on stage.
19. Christopher Plummer becomes the oldest person to win an Oscar.
20. Reese Witherspoon extolling the virtues of Overboard.
21. Did The Artist really win?! Huzzah!
22. Angelina Jolie looks more and more like a vulgar Maria Schriver. Or Skelator.

  1. I love this post. I especially loved how Jim Rash made fun of the stupid way Angelina Jolie stood all night.
