Another recap... FROM THE FUTURE! Not mine, however. Also, I would think that Chris Rock would be a lot funnier than... whatever that is.

So: here are my official pick-to-win Oscar predictions, based partly on the EW Oscar issue, because damn if I know what's going to win best short animated documentary whatever. However, I'm still iffy on several of them (Score and Song particularly), several races are still very tight, and if you're playing to win, I suggest you put Morgan Freeman instead of Clive Owen. I just couldn't bring myself to put anyone other than Clive and Cate in the supporting categories, despite my resolution to kick pool ass.

Presents! (Vladimir: "What is this, Oscarmas?") So I got Tim Tams from redyu (yay!), and two Cate posters (The Gift and Veronica Guerin) from mariadeluca (yay!)--and then! and then! Vladimir's impromptu "yay for finishing Titanic" present arrives, and it is Anna Dollerious. It is seriously one of the best costume replicas I have seen on a doll; the one variation is the hair, which is not in long loose curls (see prototype picture on link); it's in supatight supacurls that just pass her shoulders. The effect of this is that Anna Dollerious has, essentially... poseable hair. You can do "windblown," or "falling from a cliff," or "dead from smush," and it totally holds. And hooooo boy, does Anna Dollerious have some awesome bitchface. This is probably not the best sentence to follow that with, but it's also a really good likeness of Kate Beckinsale. (Heh.)

Also? She has a GUN. And a SWORD. And a DAGGER. And they all school Fugagorn's sad, crooked ranger sword (bless). (Eowyn Doll has just handed me a note to pass to Anna. It says, "Will you be my friend? Yes / No / Maybe. P.S. I like swords.") And she has the buckled thigh-high boots and the corset (tied in the back with tiny red thread!) and EVERYTHING, WHEE.

(Shut up, I love dolls. If Sideshow or Franklin Mint or Ashton Drake came out with new Emmy!Christine dolls, my wallet would die and be dead.)

Please for to go to sleep now, as I am tired, and have a lot of blogging ahead of me tomorrow...

I liked your Oscars FROM THE FUTURE a lot better. Also, I agree with the predictions.

I think you must, having put such dollish poses in my brain, make with pictures, stat.

Best parts of that Oscar recap... FROM THE FUTURE!:

10:32: Rock says Collateral would be more believable if the Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise didn't seem like lovers.

10:39: Rock introduces presenter Orlando Bloom as "the gay hobbit."

10:53: Rock says I, Robot is up for a special-effects award because it made Will Smith look like a black man.

11:30: Rock says goodnight, singling out several losers by name and adding, "Better luck next year, suckas!"

Oscar picks sound good to me. Was there any logic behind the 27-minutes-over choice, or did you just go with a random number?

Vladimir spoils you, seriously. That is pretty awesome.

...that sentence alone has made me smile for the first time today. Someone needs to write a theme song for you to the tune of Cheers (when you're having a bad day, just come to Cleo's, where there are talking dolls and smushing Annas and many a funny story and everyone is happy yay for run on sentences! And put that in song form!)

I think I might need some sleep too. Sorry if I freaked ya out... I get kinda cracked out around this time.

Mmmm. Tim tams. *goes to round some up* Have you been sent the Black Forest and Chilli Choc kinds yet? SO GOOD!

Awwwww, that's adorable. I hope Anna circled yes. ('cause Eowyn might have to kick her ass otherwise.)

Man, I feel sad and lame. I've not yet seen Van Helsing.

Yay! The posters got to you!
*dances happily*
Sorry about the amount of tape I used to close it up, but... I kind of black out when I get tape in my hands and when I wake up... well, you had to hack it off so you know.
As for the doll thing...
*brain is already formulating ideas for other gifts for cleolinda*
If I ever see an Emmy!Christine doll I'll make sure to get two (since I would die without one too).

[angelryka.livejournal.com]

Emmy!Christine doll? Imagine a Gerard!Phantom doll. And a Patrick!Raoul. My mind is spinning.

Can't wait to see your Oscar recap!

[museofswearing.livejournal.com]

I really, really want poseable hair on my own personal head. It would save a lot of time in the mornings, that's for sure.

[sparkythehamstr.livejournal.com]

You make me laugh.

*doesn't have princess Barbies or anythingSHUT UP THEY'RE PRETTY!!11!*

Can you even get the LotR dolls anywhere? I remember seeing Arwen/Aragorn Barbie/Ken, but they sold out quickly. Woe.

(Eowyn Doll has just handed me a note to pass to Anna. It says, "Will you be my friend? Yes / No / Maybe. P.S. I like swords.")

I get so weirdly happy when you mention her. I think I'm having a major case of over-identification here.

tim tams

[unstable-geek.livejournal.com]

so good. I was hoarding them until I saw them for sale in the "Internation" section of the bicky aisle a SuperStore.

Please tell me you know about the Tim Tam slam......

[eruvadhril.livejournal.com]

yay for Tim Tams! Aussie Aussie Aussie!
DISEMBODIED VOICES FROM AUSTRALIA: OI! OI! OI!

And I want dolls that pass notes to each other.

Oscar recap .....

"Another recap... FROM THE FUTURE! Not mine, however. Also, I would think that Chris Rock would be a lot funnier than... whatever that is. "

Man, that WAS lame. I get the feeling Chris Rock is going to be pretty tame in fact. The fiasco is going to be Gil "I'm trying so hard to be edgy that I hurt myself" Cates lame-o direction.

I'm not even going to watch. I have to study for a Operations Management midterm (and yes, nothing in the world is more boring) and everyone's comments here will be more entertaining than anything on the screen. Unless of course, there is a disaster of epic proportion, which I am praying for.

I used to -love- dolls ..and then plushies captured my soul. X_x

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

It seems altogether appropriate that Anna Dollerious is a "retired item." (It could be worse-- what if Vladimir ordered the doll, and it came as a little urn with gritty gray stuff inside? With a beaker of salt water to keep it company?)

I made Oscar predictions weee. And honestly, I looked at yours to pick short films and little things like that. However, I was hoping A Very Long Engagement might stand a chance for cinematography.
