The Gay Super Bowl...

Can I just say that I was in the bathroom taking a slash when the commercials aired. Totally bummed. I haven't seen them, but the general consensus of the room was that they blew burrito chunks.

I'm sad to have missed the fun! I kept tabs on a few of the fashion bits, with the help of the psychos at gofugyourself.com ;

Hathaway's gown- win.
Heigl's not too bad but not as good as Hathaway.
Mermaid at her wedding - I liked it.
Hilary Swank- I kind of liked it.
Jennifer Hudson- no.

Glad the party was such a success!

I watched the version they showed on French TV last night. It was so completely ridiculous that basically everything is dubbed into French. Even the dialog in montages is dubbed. The funniest though was that the dubbed voices even read out the nominee names, but in a French accent.

I cannot find what I thought was Alex's post about Refro, but either way....

per IMDB.com

Renfro Snubbed at Oscars

Tragic actor Brad Renfro was snubbed at Sunday's Academy Awards when organizers left him out of a montage of stars who died in the past year. Renfro was found dead from a drug overdose in Los Angeles in January, aged just 25. But he was overlooked on a list of 98 movie industry people, that included everyone from actors and directors to public relations people. A statement from the Motion Picture Academy of America claims, "It is simply not possible to include everyone in that segment." But a friend of the late star of The Client, Apt Pupil and Ghost World tells Tmz.com, "It's unbelievable and disgusting."

[innerSpaceman]

Yes, especially since they - for the only time that I can remember - included AGENTS in the montage.


Perhaps if they started including all the child actors who went on to die from drugs at a young age, the entire montage would take on too much sleaziness. Oi.

Having finally seen head-to-toe shots of Oscar Ceremony Celebrity Formal Wear, I noticed for the first time that Daniel Day Lewis was sporting brown Hush Puppies with his disgusting tux. Ugh, demand the Oscar back.

But they matched the brown stripe on his lapel!

That's what Swanie said but to me it looked like the lapel stripes were red matching his wife's outfit.

I get that that's what he was going for, but he'd have done better with multicolored shoes eg: black with brown accent, or something*.

Might I add that I fit your side note to a T except that my clodhoppers are brown leather, not suede.
And I dont beleive my multi colored ribbon shoes go with as much as I think.

[Sohrshah]

I think that the Day-Lewises were exercising their right to a sense of humor... or over-the-top "fashion" "sense".... either way, it didn't make much sense.
