The Oscars

Speaking of color, I thought it was refreshing to see Charlize Theron opting not to wear... I mean be, orange this year. She looks much better in natural skin tones.


And was it just me or did Cruz and Hayek seem kind of awkward during their spiel. Kind of like, "I'm the hottest Latina movie star. Everyone knows it. Why did they put me with her?" Though, regardless, I still enjoyed their pairing.

When I heard about that it made me love her even more. I think it's awesome that she has a good enough sense of humor to not only take a joke, but play along with it as well. Maybe Sean Penn should hang out with her for a while; see if it rubs off.

Ya know, I did notice that. They showed hardly any clips of nominees and it bugged the hell out of me. Especially for categories like animated short, I love seeing the clips from the actual film. It was nice to see the nominees there smiling and getting some face time, but the award is for the film, so we should see some of that too. No clips for best pic is really surprising. Almost takes away the drama.
