Well, I just finished watching my taped Oscars (hot date tonight, had to timer them) and I have to say that I enjoyed this year a lot more than recent years. They seemed really scaled back and not as over the top, which I appreciated. My thoughts:
-First. Hurray for Balcony Lady's giganti-boobs! (And the rewind button!
) Woo hoo! Oscar history in the making, right there.
-Hated the "Oscar at your seat" idea. Felt cheap. Loved Rock's crack about it.
-Loved the Carson tribute. Very touching, and showed what a difference real class makes.
-Balcony Lady's enormous boo.... Oh, sorry, covered that.
-Best Speech was definitely the recipient for the best song. Forgot his name, but very swanky route to go with his choice of acceptance speech.
-Clint Eastwood is truly worthy of his stardom. Today's John Wayne, only oozing dignity and charm.
-Morgan Freeman finally received the honor he truly deserves. It's about time!
-Jeremy Irons deadpanning at the background clanging was priceless.
-The pairing of Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek, and Salma's cleavage. Wow. I've had that dream several times....
-Jamie Foxx has completely won me over. If his speech wasn't worthy of teary eyes, then I don't know what is. And his daughter; what a little scene stealer! Bravo Mr. Foxx!
