'Cause I'm A Turn It In And I'm A Turn It Out
My Bologna Has A First Name It’s O-S-C-A-R
--So when you saw Forest Whitaker go up on stage to get his Best Actor award did you first think of him as Jefferson from Fast Times? Rawlins from Bloodsport? Ghost Dog? Kavanaugh from The Shield? Or if you’re like me Forest Whitaker will always be Herman the bully from Diff’rent Strokes?
--How freakin’ insane was that troupe of dancers, Pilobolus, which performed the movie logos?! Can’t wait until that shows up on YouTube.
--Ellen was pretty strong and easily had the hottest lesbian girlfriend there in Portia de Rossi.
--There’s cute and then there’s Abigail Breslin and Will’s boy Jaden presenting an award.
--Embarrassingly I still haven’t seen The Departed. How weird/stupid was it that The Departed with Martin Scorsese and an all-star cast like that was represented on stage by only the producer when it picked up Best Picture? That made no sense.
--Although I’m sure it’s disturbing as hell I’ve got to see Little Children with Jackie Earle Haley/Kelly Leak. Freakin’ weird seeing him now.
--Also freakin’ weird seeing Jack Nicholson with no hair.
--Dreamgirls had 3 of the 5 Best Song nominees and didn’t win?!
--Prestige was nominated a couple of times, but didn’t win. That was one fan-freakin-tastic movie!
--By the way, the only way to watch the Oscars is on DVR. I can’t imagine the boredom suffered by those who were actually there in their seats for four hours.
--Congratulations to Sharon Stone and Basic Instinct 2 for picking up four coveted Razzies including Worst Picture and Worst Actress. Maybe next year Wayans boys, as Little Man managed to pick up only three. M. Night Shyamalan picked up worst director and worst supporting actor for Lady in the Water. Congratulations to all those well-deserved “winners.”
