The Oscars

The 79th Annual Academy Awards show is this coming Sunday night, February 25th. The glamor, the stars, the fashion faux pas!

Here's a list of the nominations.

This year I'm uber Oscar-prepped ... and nowhere to go. I've seen more of the nominees than ever ... but no one's invited me to an Oscar party. Waaaaaa!

Last year, zapppop and I won a Best Costume award at an Oscar Masquerade party with our interpretation of Brokeback Mountain. Hahaha.

This year .... zip.

Despite the fact that Netflix is stiffing me on Half Nelson before the Oscars ... I've still managed to see:

All the nominees for Best Picture and Best Director. All the noms for Best Animated Feature, Best Supporting Actor, Costumes, Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects, Song, and Original Screenplay. I've seen 3 each of the Best Actor and Actress noms, 4 of the Art Direction noms, 3 of the Cinematography, 2 of the 3 Make-up nominations, 4 of the Adapted Screenplays, and heard 4 of the nominated Music Scores.

I've only seen one of the Foreign Films, but it's the one that's going to win. So far, only one of the animated shorts ... but I'm going - with other swankers - to a screening of various nominated live-action and animated shorts on Saturday. And I've seen 2 of the nominated documentaries, but none of the nominated documentary shorts.

The four nominated lead actor/actress performances I've missed are glaring omissions. I've not seen Volver, or Last King of Scotland, or Notes on a Scandal or Half Nelson. But it's still the most Oscar-ready I've ever been.

Isn't anyone having an Oscar party????? It seems such a shame to watch at home all alone.

And here's my favorite moment from any Oscars ever - Bette Davis presenting the Best Actor award, 20 years ago! (It's a six minute clip, but the fun stuff is at the end, once Robert Wise hits the stage to accept the award on behalf of Paul Newman .... Oh.My.Gawd.)
