you don't think it was gerard butler?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hell no. Pants weren't tight enough. ; )

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

Gerard Butler?
*snicker*

[meredith-mae.livejournal.com]

LOL I saw that. My first thought was "Is that where gerard butler is?" Then I realized it couldn't possibly be him - he looks different, and that's just SO beneath him.

Also - really lame gimmick. REALLY lame.

night Cleo! thanks for a ton of laughs during the show!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Gerard Depardieu.

[whitewithsnow.livejournal.com]

You're not serious, right?

[anniesj.livejournal.com]

That is officially the funniest thing I have seen ALL NIGHT.

Seriously, man. That poor guy.

[k-puff.livejournal.com]

LOL. ^_^ My thoughts, exactly.

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

LMAO XD

[herigstad.livejournal.com]

oh man. gimmick-tastic.
that was about the only amusing thing about this year's oscars.
well, that and your commentary.

I'm still blind from Beyonce's disco-globe dress, dear. Could you put audio on this post? ;)

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

At least she didn't mug a drag queen for this dress.

A drag princess, maybe.

I couldn't help but wish that he'd give a healthy tug on her arm and send her sprawling down the stairs.

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

I second that!

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

*laughs madly* Ahem...Poor bastard is pretty much what I thought, too.

And what was up with Beyonce singing practically everything? Josh Groban would've been fine by himself. :P

[nore-fortuna.livejournal.com]

Josh should have done a hustle move and bump her off the stage.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

I had some speculation about that in my LJ. I toyed with the idea it might be Antonio Banderas--he was the Phantom on Broadway for a while, I think. I know he sang the Phantom's part in the Andrew Lloyd Weber 50th birthday gala dealie. So it would've been a nice nod. But I think that guy's too short.

Also, Antonio, despite what he's let happen to his hair, has more dignity than that.

Thank God that was not Gerard Butler ...

... my love for him would of been seriously diminished. Rob Lowe redux? Uhhh, no thanks.
Instead the man has the good taste to hang with Emily Mortimer (squishes her w/ love) instead of Beyonce. http://www.livejournal.com/community/gerardbutler/97586.html#cutid1

All I have to say is: AHAHAHAHAHAHA. *ahem*

Also, Cate is awesome. From E!Online (http://www.eonline.com/Features/Awards/Oscars2005/Blog/928.html): "Absolutely, you asshole!"--Blanchett, on whether the Oscar will turn her into a diva.

[jaseroque.livejournal.com]

And then she does little snappy things with her teeth. ^_^ They're showing it a lot on the tv over here. (Here being Australia. It's funny, they're showing the Oscars one one channel and the late-night news on the other, and the news is reporting on the Oscars before the Oscar has actually been given out on the other channel. So if I'd wanted to I could have found out who won best leading actor about... two minutes before it aired. If I hadn't already read Cleo's recaps. Which I had. So it didn't really matter anyway. ^^; )

[etherealshores.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering that myself.

Am I the only one who thinks Beyonce singing songs from Phantom is WRONG?

[whitewithsnow.livejournal.com]

I think that Beyonce singing anything is wrong.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

I couldn't actually hear Josh Groban singing, because my brother immediately started talking about how much he hates him. Which, I may add, has no basis whatsoever. I dunno, I love Josh Groban, but I've heard him sing over the shrieks hundreds of teenage girls and be heard incedibly well.
Why was Beyonce there again?

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Me thinks it's because the only movie I've ever known her to be in was Goldmember, so this was the only way they'd even let her in the building. "Can I come if I do all the songs for free? Pleeeeeeeeease?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/lorien__/]

the poor guy will never live that down...
wish he pushed her off those stairs tho...
oh well... hopefully they learned their lesson and will have the actual singers preform their own songs!!!

and what the fuck was it with the aisle thing??? did they forgot the clips off the movies and got stuck as to what to do???

and the stage thing??? omg!!! it soo felt like pop idol or fame academy or one those other 'song' contests... oh blah!

anyway...
Thanks again lauren, for a brilliant recap and helpin us through one of the most boring oscar shows ever!

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Just some schmuck, I'm sure. But couldn't we have given it to Gerard? I mean, we should throw him a bone of some sort. He didn't suck THAT much.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Dunno off hand but bet it is on his resume now.

Academy Awards- Phantom

Or something like that.

Did you notice that they have canned the dancers?

[wokeupinnacar.livejournal.com]

Beyonce = *STAB*
I hate her. Why was Emmy there, and NOT singing? *kick, scream, acts teenybopperish*
Mum got mad when I squealed about Andrew Lloyd Webber there. Told her I couldn't enjoy it because Beyonce was singing. Proceeded to make a sandwich.

[sfmarty.livejournal.com]

Thank you again, Cleolinda, for making the show bearable.

Well, I paused, then skipped, thur Beyonce. Think the poor schmuck was a Central Casting reject.

[kisthenightwind.livejournal.com]

Poor Bastard.
When my ds first caught sight of the guy he was all:
WTF? Mom, she has her own Death Eater!
