The Gay Super Bowl...

[lizziebith]

I was amazed that the reclusive Cormac McCarthy could be seen in the audience, but given this year of weirdness (seriously, NCFOM is his worst book -- as a fan, I can barely acknowledge its existence) I guess I should have been prepared. I think I'm a little resentful that people are discovering him via such a pale echo of what he can do. It's sour "I discovered that band when they were cool" talk I'm doing here.

I'm glad Marion won. I don't care for a lot of stuff Tilda is in, but I love her anyway. Loved the binocs/periscopes gag, and the waking from nightmares bit, too. Yes, and the wii play and Lawrence of Arabia on the stupid small video device (iPhone?) were fun. Pretty good show this year, but most of the dresses were same-y. Like, insert skinny person in shiny fabric here. Yawn. And Harrison Ford seemed like he was on serious old-guy meds and that made me sad.

Viggo's awkward moment came on the red carpet when the interviewer pointed out that his niece should NOT have seen his performance in "Eastern Promises." Yeah, no kidding. To her credit she said she'd "covered her eyes" during the questionable bits.

Final note: the eyeball commercial. Whoever thought that one up must be hurt badly, because I'm so deeply weirded out I'm thinking about payback. I don't know what I can do, but...I want payback.
