Oscars, part 6

[cleolinda]

HELP HELP IT'S GOING SO FAST

Wow. Jessica Biel looks fantastic from the neck up, and then she's wearing some blousy drapy satin bedsheet horror, I don't even know. She's here to recap the Sci-Tech Awards Thingy, because she was the Hot Chick Consolation Prize Host they always throw to the tech guys who aren't "important" enough to be awarded on the show itself.

And... that was it. Commercials. YOU ASSHOLES! I HIT POST FOR THAT?

Movie commercial: Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx in The Soloist, a movie that looks like it was created in a lab to win Oscars.

We're back. It's the Apatow short film. It's... Seth Rogen and James Franco in Pineapple Express mode. They're going to watch all the movies that were nominated for an Oscar, except for The Love Guru, which they got instead of Slumdog Millionaire. They roll around laughing at Doubt and The Reader. Dollar bills are stapled to faces. Franco tries to make a move on Rogen during Milk. Janusz Kaminski and his two Oscars come and hang with them.

Please welcome! James Franco! Janusz Kaminski! And Seth Rogen!

Best Short Film, Live Action

Auf der Strecke (2007): Reto Caffi
Manon sur le bitume (2007): Elizabeth Marre, Olivier Pont
New Boy (2007): Steph Green, Tamara Anghie
Grisen (2008): Tivi Magnusson, Dorthe Warnø Høgh
Spielzeugland (2007): Jochen Alexander Freydank

"Spielzeugland" wins; Rogen laughs at Franco's enthusiastic pronunciation. I think an oncoming headache is sapping me of any sense of humor.

Next up: a once-in-a-lifetime performance! I imagine it will not involve Peter Gabriel!

No. I'm sure of it. Beyonce was lip-synching D:

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

And I also liked it.

Just that Beyonce and those High School Musical kids being there made me pout. Beyonce's cool and all. But...c'mon, am I the only one who think Beyonce lipsynched? >.>

[kittenkatt.livejournal.com]

I must disagree with a lot of comments and say that I thought it was awesome. The only thing that would have made it better was Anne instead of Beyonce. Or, well, anyone else. Perhaps someone who has been in a freaking musical. Nicole too busy?

HOOOO MY GOD BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR.

[duckiemegs.livejournal.com]

There are no words... If they were going to "bring back broadway" they could have picked better musicals... honestly.

I still don't consider HSM a musical. Ew.

[ironclad1609.livejournal.com]

The Fish called Wanda Oscar for Kline is still one of the most pleasant and deserved surprises this show ever presented ^^

[smu.livejournal.com]

I still haven't seen that, is it good?

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

Hang on. I've been distracted by shiny things, but ... it's the Oscars. Where's Nicholson?

[kittenkatt.livejournal.com]

Yay for all five of the Supporting Actor presenters! Quite a company of great actors.

[himhilien.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[valancy-s.livejournal.com]

Damn! The six of them were trying so hard, and that was just a TERRIBLE ARRANGEMENT!

Baz Luhrmann, where has your genius gone toooooooo?

[trinastar.livejournal.com]

*blinks* What was Beyonce wearing? And Oh hell no, why did they have Zanessa out there? I don't mind the Amanda and her on screen beau but seriously Zanessa?

Drumline much at the end. \o/

[hypocriticalme.livejournal.com]

I... liked that number. Then again, I have only been to one Broadway play and am in no way a connoisseur of theatre.

I kept getting distracted by Beyonce's pink lipstick during close-ups of her face. Why couldn't it have been red? Her entire outfit was red save for the black top hat. Pink just... distracted me.

That said, I missed the opening, and this is my first time hearing him sing, but I've gotta admit Jackman's got a nice voice.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

He was in a show on Broadway, essentially a one man musical, and when he went on vacation for two weeks, they shut down the show. People went to see HIM.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

And....we've reached Heath. *sob*

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

My favorite part of this show is Cuba Gooding Jr.'s presentation or Robert Downey Jr. PERIOD.

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

YEAH XD

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

I need to feed Seth Rogen some shepherd's pie.

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

Heath. :)

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATH.

WE KNEW YOU WOULD WIN BUT STILL! *CRIES*

[hypocriticalme.livejournal.com]

HEATH WON HEATH WON HEATH WON!!!!!!!

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

As much as I loved Heath's performance as the Joker, and how much I think he deserves to win; I really sometimes wish RDJ would win something. Because his role in Tropic Thunder is really, really awesome.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

Was it me, or was RDJ tearing up at the beginning of the speech about him?

Yay for Heath, though. Or his family, at least.

[sirinde.livejournal.com]

And... the Heath Ledger award goes to... yep.

[sirinde.livejournal.com]

also *tear*
and as much as I love him and this role, I can't help thinking they just gave it to him because he died...

[smu.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU FUCKING GOD HEATH

[kittenkatt.livejournal.com]

Y'all, I knew it was coming and yet am still all teary-eyed.

[moogleybacon.livejournal.com]

Man, Kevin Kline's speech made me want to pop in The Dark Knight... *makes a note to do that after Oscars*

And now his family is making me tear up... Miss you, Heath. D:

[numbedtoe.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he won. It's pretty much the last chapter, and it'll be nice for his little girl, and the rest of his family. It would have been nice to have seen what he could have done.

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

What song is playing in the background of the docu montage?

[ironclad1609.livejournal.com]

Sounded like a voiceless variation of Sia's "Breathe me", not entirely sure though.

[smu.livejournal.com]

OMG, Angelina was starting to CRY

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

OH BILL MAHER. SOMETIMES I LOVE YOU AND SOMETIMES YOU MAKE FUN OF GOD AT THE OSCARS.

[dragonzair.livejournal.com]

That was slightly painful to hear...

Tina and Steve's joke was less...tactless? Imo, at least.
