hey who are these whores that sidney lumet was thanking?

I didn't even watch this. Watched Equilibrium, Return Of The Jedi & The Twilight Samurai instead and I'm all the better for it.

Catalina Sandino Moreno was robbed. Absolutely robbed! Doll swallowed replica pellets -- eight, all told, I believe -- of cocaine (flour in hers). For an actress, most of whom don't eat (insert: knowing (sarcastic) nod to women in the room, indicating I know that anorexia in Hollywood is a creation of the patriarchal studios), that's like DeNiro gaining sixty (?) pounds for Raging Bull. So, you have to appreesh.

Beside that, first-time film actress killed in the part. Just laid waste to the scenery. She was a cocaine mule, for all intents and purposes. So natural, so real.

Didn't watch it, but it looks like I'll have to put together that drunk mix LooGAR asked about now.

I'll call it Wastrel In The Gaggery or something.

Beyoncé: That was thre funniest damn thing I've ever heard! I think she got two french words right. The rest was gibberish. What the hell were they thinking.

That's what I thought!! The choir boys sang with better French accent.

who gives a shit!? it's in her (thunder) thighs.

It was pretty bad but it can't top this Oscar moment:

Guess since this might be the "official" Oscar thread that we can talk about the best psrt of the show:

The part were Chris Rock is in the Magic Johnson theatre asking people if they saw the nominated films.

Rock: "Did you see Sideways?"

"Hard" looking dude: "Naw man. I ain't even gonna front. I can't lie to these people. I ain't seent it."

Awesome!

beyonce sounded like poo. don't let her sing songs like that. she should just stick to her soul/r&b thing and leave my ears alone.

It sounded much better to those of us who were listening with our eyes.

Oh, my god, I forgot, the theater part! And every one of them, when he asked about them having seen White Girls, said yes.

And when he let that chick have the mic, and she says "you right up on me, Chris" because he was standing close to her?!? Hilarious. That's why I soooo hope he'll be invited back, tho I'm sure he won't.

I actually thought the song with the boys choir was kinda purty. Why do you all hate America?

The "song" is pretty.

Beyonce's mangling of the song was not. She was struggling in that song. Her vocals were all wrong for that song. Plus her eye movements during it looked like she knew it as she was so obviously straining herself during it that her eyeballs were bulging upward.

Now that I think about it, Adam Duritz's eyeballs were doing the same thing. Was it something in the lighting or was there a lack of fiber backstage on the buffet?

So, you've heard the original and it's heaps better? I know most of what she and R&Bers belt out is mostly fluff (read: 5 min. version of the national anthem), but this gal's got chords ... and it seems she's got a bit of versatility. Admittedly, I don't speak but a few phrases of French (and poorly!), but I thought her Rs were reasonably decipherable. I don't speak a lick of Swedish and I loved Dungen - the noise, that is. The same applies to her performance last night.

Btw, what the fuck was Puffy doin' there last night? I thought he was much more out of place than Beyonce.

I don't know, but they cut to him IMMEDIATELY after Chris Rock's joke about gunplay breaking out at The Source Awards, and P. Didd-iddly was NOT laughing. In fact, he looked like he'd have whipped out a Glock right then and there, were it not for the crack Kodak Theatre security screening process.

128, 342....but who's counting?

The problem with beyonce singing french is that no one knows if she said anything right, or if she just made up words that sounded French.

So what was up Sean Penn's ass about Chris Rock ripping on Jude Law? What did Penn say?
