Oscar entry #9

[cleolinda]

Ah, tabulation blah Price Waterhouse blee. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, two strapping black guys in tuxes and sunglasses come out. Here's Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek. Wow, there is so much accentage going on here. I can't even reproduce how Cruz said "category." And here's a metric ton of guys in suits sound nominees onstage. I think I have The Aviator down for Sound Mixing, because the big crash is just something else. And a bunch of names are announced. WHICH MOVIE, PEOPLE? Whoa, it's Ray. I was so expecting Aviator to sweep this one up (as previously mentioned. Duh. I'll stop redunding now).

Sound Editing. Still Hayek and Cruz. More suits march out. Just four guys this time, though. The Incredibles wins.

Sister Girl flumps in. "Gahhhhh, how much lonnnnnnger is it?" "It's only been two hours," I say. "How long is it gonna beeeeee?" Oh, hon. You're new, aren't you?

Hayek stays onstage to present the Motorcycle Diaries song and lays out some Spanish smack on the song title. Salma takes it upon herself to translate some of the song's powerful lyrics for us. BRING OUT SANTANAAAAAAA! Here's Antonio Banderas and Santana. This is the one song I have actually been looking forward to hearing performed, I tell you what. I mean, it's totally Beyonce-free and features no cruelty to hair.

Okay... it's not that great. And Antonio is a little greasy tonight. But I stand by my... and now we're mobile? Banderas and Santana are wandering around. I do not put it past them to start wandering through the audience. But they don't. Man, this "trainwreck" is even a little tame.

Was anyone else just a bit afraid of Antonio there? Honestly, greasy lounge singer of DOOM!

It might be my total lack of understanding Spanish but did Antonio just sing about a speedo?

Yeah, it's clearly just my brain projecting that *brow waggle*

[anjenue.livejournal.com]

Omg. ANTONIO. And SANTANA. I think I have died and gone to Spanish Heaven.

[lezopez.livejournal.com]

Antonio is still SO SEXY OMG.

[kittenkatt.livejournal.com]

I think Tony's mic was up a little too high....

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

No, Beyonce! finally! Please let it stay that way!

[aquidis.livejournal.com]

Agreed! I almost want that song to win just because Beyonce didn't sing it...hehe.

Tell Sister Girl to get comfortable. And that she's not alone. (My fiance is bored to near-tears, methinks.)

Yay for a not!Beyonce song!

Aw man, that would have been so awesome. So. AWESOME. If they'd just aimlessly strolled though the crowds. And then if Johnny Depp handed off his flask...

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

That song about communist motorcycles was TOO SEXY!!

As you probably know, it still breaks my heart that they couldn't afford to get him to play the Phantom.

My roommate just randomly told me that the gold oscar statue should hook up with one of the gold statues from PotO. *laughs and gives her a strange look* But, it could work. Maybe. Yeah, we're both strange.

"We did it". HEE. Sounds dirty. I like...whatever his name is...

[rose-whispers.livejournal.com]

Bleh. Too much I was nearly eaten by an econo-sized brylcreem!Antonio and not enough Che-shirt wearing!Carlos.

[kaerusattori.livejournal.com]

Hee. Nice icon.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

YES! a crack about the weird handing out of oscars!

[tsuki-no-yami.livejournal.com]

Oscar drive-thru. Hee!

[elbiesee.livejournal.com]

I just laughed at Chris Rock for the first time tonight, methinks... "Presenting in the parking lot", indeed. Wouldn't put it past 'em.

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

Ha! Right on, Rock! Oscar drive-through, I'd love to see that!

"It's only been two hours," I say. "How long is it gonna beeeeee?" Oh, hon. You're new, aren't you?

I'm not new, but BOY this is dragging.

I was hoping they shot Chris Rock, although his parking lot line was the first hit of his evening.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

OMGNO! so many choices!

Finding Neverland! I'm happy!
