Last year for the Oscars Adam was working in Kelowna and I was alone recovering from my ass surgery so I watched the Oscars in my designer Betsey Johnson dress and heels and felt all sexy and shit. I went to bed before they were over.
This year we printed Ballots and filled them out earlier in the day. That is just so awesome that you can print them right off the Oscars’ website! Who knew?
Adam decided to dress up in a suit and when he was out at the corner store getting milk I threw on my wedding dress ‘cept I couldn’t get it done up because I’ve packed on some sweet pounds in EXACTLY six months TODAY and because I am still sick when we finally got it done up when I’d cough we heard wee ripping sounds so I had to take it off. I was going for more of a ball gown feeling for this year’s show but it didn’t work out.
We’d seen quite a few of the nominated films and performances- I was really looking forward to them this year if for nothing more than Ellen. I loved it when she gave Martin Scorsese a script and then Clint Eastwood wanted one too but all he got was a lousy photo. That was funny.
Ryan Gosling looked fantastic representing for Canada. Half Nelson is a kick ass movie if you haven’t seen it. His nomination reminded me of Edward Norton’s second nomination for American History X in that it was a fantastic performance, you knew he wasn’t going to take it, but both performances are MUST SEEEEEEEEEE and both men can still do no wrong in my eyes. Acting wise HOLY I’m married, although I did remind Adam that my innocent crush on Ryan Gosling started in 2001 when he did The Believer which therefore predates him. OBVIOUSLY I love Adam the mostest.
The show was way too long and Cameron Diaz looked stupid. Kirsten Dunst takes the worst dressed EVER award. Abigail Breslin at age 10 looked more mature than Dunst at age 24. Al Gore rocked it out hard and Leo looked like a man. I seriously thought Jennifer Hudson’s right boob was going to explode out of her dress when she was singing, it scared me and I found it distracting. But there was part of me hoping it would bust free as well.
In the end Adam and I tied with 14 of 24 categories correct. I was trailing for a while but caught up because Adam had Babel picked for the big awards and he didn’t even like it whereas I had The Departed for the big ones and cleaned up. I really wanted Mark Wahlberg to take Best Supporting Actor he was hilarious in The Departed but Alan Arkin was also fantastic in Little Miss Sunshine so I was happy to see him win.
If it were up to me Ellen would now host every year, just with less makeup on, I loved her outfits and her hair but was not a fan of her makeup it was a little too girly for my taste.
