Whoa, Sylvester Stallone. The hell? Everyone in the audience is like, "The fuck?" "Let's talk about Clint Eastwood!" Ohhh, I get it. Stallone's all "jealous" of Clint's boxing movie. Stallone is so what Matt LeBlanc is going to grow up to be like, by the way.

Here's Goldie Hawn. Eh. Best musical/comedy. Gooooooooo Eternal Sunshine! Oh, shit, I did that wrong, didn't I? Sideways takes it. Dammit. Very nice dresses on the actresses, though. Also, the guy accepting stands there with his hand in his jacket pocket for like a minute, and he totally looks like Napoleon. Heh. Finding yourself, protecting the vision, heart in every frame, etc.

Sigh. I hope Clint Eastwood is prepared to get up again.

Here's Nicole! Nicole, I love you! Maybe not as much as I used to, due to your overuse of Bo--what the shit are you WEARING? Huh. On second glance, the peacock shoulder-feather is kind of swank. Nice. And... The Aviator wins! Yay! We're still in the game! Although I have nothing to do with it, and technically I thought it was just a pretty good movie and it didn't change my life or anything! But come on! Everybody's gotta have a team to root for. The guy accepting says something about "a brilliantly originable script." Dubya? Is that you? Woot! Shoutout for Her Cateness! Seriously, I may never forgive Annette Bening for this. I still haven't forgiven Gwyneth Paltrow for running off with her Elizabeth Oscar, and that was something like six years ago. Ah, well. Cate got the last laugh. She's over here working with Martin Scorsese and Peter Jackson and Wes Anderson, and Gwyneth Paltrow's in, like, View from the Top. Oh, and Sylvia. Wasn't that supposed to be her big awards comeback? HA HA.

Yeah, I get way bitter about this stuff. You haven't even seen me get het up about the Oscars proper yet.

*sigh* Award shows just aren't the same with little hobbits and men not brushing their hair.

[pscopathictiger.livejournal.com]

They really aren't.

[gabsy.livejournal.com]

Hehe I said to my mom when Stallone came in : He still exists? Well, what can you say? You learn something new everyday!

[myriad69.livejournal.com]

Cleo, I am fangirling you like crazy right now.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Word.

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

"a brilliantly originable script." Dubya? Is that you?

Hee...

Altho that'll get you shot in Hollywood if said out loud.

[wokeupinnacar.livejournal.com]

I think. I just peed myself. I need a hamster. My mouse is fat.

And I can't wait. I'm going to try to see Sideways next weekend, since it looks to be stealing all of Eternal Sunshine's awards.

I do want to see The Aviator, but I can't get behind Million Dollar Baby. For one, I have yet to see any of Clint Eastwood's superultrabrilliant movies. For two, that is the stupidest title ever. Okay, no. The stupidest title ever would be Million Dollar Baby Geniuses.

When I first heard the title Million Dollar Baby, I first thought of a movie about the Dionne quintuplets. But maybe that was Million Dollar Babies. *shrugs*

hee, napoleon dynamite.

Gimme yer tots!

[darkviola.livejournal.com]

Oooh, you should totally do this for the Oscars. And the Emmys (So we can weep together when Lost dosen't win. It's a curse with me I tell you! Either my shows are criticly acclaimed and get *tons* of awards [Like E.R. and CSI.] or are criticly acclaimed and get *no* awards, and are cancelled before their time [Buffy, Angel, Wonderfalls and Firefly.]

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

Lost has to win something...!!...eventually...right...?

*cries at the thought of no award for Sawyer*

But I have to say...Ok, I loved Buffy. To pieces. That show was the shiznit. But, "cancelled before its time?" No. Sadly, that show jumped the shark...aw hell, took a crazed flying leap over said shark...after the whole "death of Buffy" thing. It still had some awesome moments going for it at the end, but it was time for it to be put down. I'm only glad it went peacefully to its grave while it was still in semi-loveliness, instead of clinging to life desperately at it all turned to crap.

[jenlp.livejournal.com]

I still haven't forgiven Gwyneth Paltrow for running off with her Elizabeth Oscar, and that was something like six years ago.

Yes! Still grudging that, too.

And "Hi" found your lj because of Lost recaps. Which? Love. (yadda, yadda...)

[thespianlizling.livejournal.com]

As am I! I consider that one of the great injustices of my lifetime. The Oscars that year were just bonkers, man. Like, Geoffrey Rush got nominated for SiL instead of Elizabeth? OMGWTF!

[sometimesalways.livejournal.com]

hey. love your commentary. very fun. friended you for film reasons since i can't find like, anyone on lj that gushes about film as much as i do. anyway, wanted to say hi :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hi! If you want film gushing, you have come to the right place. : )

[girlfrom10thave.livejournal.com]

Gwyneth Paltrow's in, like, View from the Top. Oh, and Sylvia.
And Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Yet another crappy movie. Proof was supposed to come out in December and was supposed to be her next big awards comeback, but Miramax pushed it back. HA! I'm also quite bitter about her winning for Shakespeare in Love. Seriously! That over Cate in Elizabeth?
*is still pissed about that*

And Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Yet another crappy movie.

No! Sky Captain was great. So much fun.

you know...a lot of people i know hate gwyneth paltrow and always have. i never really had a problem with her. until the win over cate blanchett. true, i like cate more than gwyneth, but that's not why i think she should have won. she just did an insanely amazing job in elizabeth (which i now SO have to go buy tomorrow!), and she deserved the freakin oscar.

can we get a recount?

[gershwhen.livejournal.com]

Cate 1000% should have won -- by Gwyneth has "Hollywood Family" and that counts for more than talent. :(

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

Something about Paltrow bugs...not sure whay...(maybe because she named her poor child APPLE...or all things)

Anyway...i probably never...okay fingers are so numb i can't type...this shit sucks....slowly now...i never would have even known the globes had aired if not for this...seriously...i'da been like "oh? that was on already?" and half of the movies you mentioned...never heard of them. i feel out of the loop.

and how DARE Lost not win. And Johnny. I'm in love with Johnny. (by the way...i may have friended you...i cant remember)

[skyblade.livejournal.com]

A couple of thoughts:

Naomi Watts being introduced as the star of The Ring 2. Man, even the Hollywood Foreign Press is a little miffed Peter Jackson's follow-up to Lord of the Rings is a King Kong remake.

Howard Shore wins for The Aviator. If he wins the Oscar later this year, he'll be able to build his own Awards fort. And maybe throw some of them at John Williams.

Sylvester Stallone introducing. Is it me, or is every Globe ceremony required to have some looney has been who probably never should have been an "is" presenting one of the big awards.

Alfie technically wins an award. Yeah, I know it was the legendary Mick Jagger who won, but I don't know, this is why I don't like the "best song" category. It leads to things like Charlie's Angels and Kate and Leopold technically being able to count use the "nominated" brand on the posters and stuff.

[meinnim.livejournal.com]

I skipped watching the Golden Globes because I figured it wouldn't be half as fun as your running commentary. Thanks for all the updates.

[sparkythehamstr.livejournal.com]

I *heart* your Globes spam. And although I have no proof that you are responsible, I will blame you for what appears to be a burgeoning crush on Clive Owen. *shakes fist*

[raanve]

Yeah, I get way bitter about this stuff. You haven't even seen me get het up about the Oscars proper yet.

I love a woman who can get all het up about the Oscars! I am right there with you, baby.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Stallone is so what Matt LeBlanc is going to grow up to be like, by the way.

Hee.

The guy accepting says something about "a brilliantly originable script." Dubya? Is that you?

*chokes on her gum* WAHAHAHAHA.

[kvschwartz.livejournal.com]

I could so use your sagely advice on the story I'm working on. Wibble.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

I still haven't forgiven Gwyneth Paltrow for running off with her Elizabeth Oscar, and that was something like six years ago.

I'm still bitter about Tom Hanks running off with Liam Neeson's Schindler's List Oscar back in 1993, so yeah I get it. I'm also really fucking pissed at Fox Searchlight for putting all their clout behind Sideways and not Kinsey.

But Liam probably doesn't care because he sure looks like he was toking up hanging out with Dustin Hoffman before the ceremony. I mean man, but he was incredibly inarticulate on the carpet and about as deadpan as Depp all night.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

Also was it just me, or did Stallone's head look weirdly small?

[edda.livejournal.com]

Your hatred of Gwyneth makes me laugh. Thank you.

Ah, well. Cate got the last laugh. She's over here working with Martin Scorsese and Peter Jackson and Wes Anderson, and Gwyneth Paltrow's in, like, View from the Top. Oh, and Sylvia. Wasn't that supposed to be her big awards comeback? HA HA.

Is that still in theaters? How long did it last? For that matter, how about Kinsey? Didn't a ton of those really earnest "serious" Oscar-contender-type movies just vanish without a trace this year? Even more so than usual?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Sylvia was last year, but yeah, it vanished pretty quickly. I can't ever tell if an Oscarbait movie has disappeared or hasn't even opened wide yet.

[lumaria.livejournal.com]

Why is it that I hated Nicole Kidman for years, and when she finally got shed of that 140 lb. loser with the annoying grin (Tom Cruise to those who fall prey to his beguiling manbot spell), I can't get enough of her? Hm. It's a mystery. At any rate, I thought her dress was so great. The peacock feathers, which many people thought was garish, made me love it even more. Very nice. She'd look good in a potato sack. Not even joking.

[soulwatcher.livejournal.com]

Yay for your commentary, I didn't see the awards but I think you covered it better than the voiceover guys anyways.

Get Cleo lined up for Oscars commentary y'hear!!

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

Thank you for another fine night on LJ. You're such a talent. I'm stealthing in to say something late that you might not actually read, but if you do, it's meant in all sincereity.

I was 22 when I was first published, and I wish I'd have had half your balance and sanity. It would've saved me a lot of false starts and sorrow. Reading your stuff gives me a warm feeling, because I think you have a fine career ahead of you -- and not only that, you'll be able to handle it. It's nice. Thanks for sharing.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I read all comments because they are sent to my email! MOO HA HA.

Also: awww, thanks. I did throw a minor temper tantrum over some internet plagiarism several months back, but... I'm going to take "you can handle it" as a great compliment, because I've been trying to handle it well, or gracefully, or however you want to put it, and I'd like to think that I have, but it hasn't always been easy.

(And now I want to know what you've published. : )

[newsong.livejournal.com]

I'll have to remember to be online when I'm watching the Oscars - just for you :)

[trailer-spot.livejournal.com]

Just want to say thank you for sending your readers for a visit to my journal via the link for the Corpse Bride trailer. They were all very polite and grateful, and didn't leave a mess :D.

Since I didn't know beforehand that you once again real-time-commented the Globes, I opted to record them and watched them this weekend and read your comments at the same time. The Globes (drunk, drunk, stoned, sober, drunk, ...), as always, lots of fun.
Pre-show interviewer: "What was it like to perform in PotO?"
MinnieDriver *blank stare of doom*: "You know what, I sing the song at the end of the movie, I didn't sing in the movie."
Priceless.
Though not as much fun as last year's awards events with the live tag-board. But I look forward to your LJ-comments of the Oscars.
I still hope that you will sometime revive the dailydigest. Maybe when you've finished your book. Best of luck.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No problem. It isn't the first time I've linked to trailer_spot, but it may have been the first time people really flocked over there. What can I say? There's a lot of excitement for Corpse Bride. : )

I'm absolutely heartsick that the Digest has been down this long. Even so, real-time recapping is really easy through LJ, so I'm going to keep doing it in hopes that it'll eventually augment the resurrected Digest. : )
