The Gay Super Bowl... - Page 18

I thought this year, even though I didn't see everything, was prob the most well deserved year in a long, long time. For the most part I think what won was what should have IMHO. (Minus the F**king shorts)

Oh, this was the first time I'd seen the finalists for the Dove commercial.

T's was better than either of those. They were both good, but T's was better. Left me wondering if maybe hers was too good, that the judges favored ones that were good but still had an amateur feel to them.

I was disgusted, biased or not, T's commercial was leagues better than those.

Yeah, those Dove commercials sucked.

Oh, and I realized that the only majorly nommed film I haven't yet seen, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, was shut out - despite many nominations. I'm still gonna see it. Word is it's great.

Ok, the reviewer in Variety who was at the Kodak said "That's How You Know" played wonderfully live. My sister, who attended the rehearsal, said it was terrific live, but - looking at the overhead screens - predicted it would be awful on TV. She was right. But I'm willing to give the bloated production number the benefit of the doubt, since it just may have somehow been fantastic in person.

I blame it on the cinammontography.

I miss the over-the-top Oscars production numbers. <sigh>

I had a totally swanking good time at the home of the lovely LSPE and Tom. LSPE always makes me think "Lispy", which is ironic, as she's quite articulate.

Many thanks to my tattooed wine boy, who was kind enough to share a seat with me, and kept the globe of my---wine glass always within his grasp.

Seriously, it was a great time, and I genuinely enjoyed the cupcakes, the company and the banter. Did I mention the cupcakes?

My thoughts:

Mrs. Day-Lewis must have a fabulous sense of humor.
Jon Stewart is teh man
Women over 60 should not have jet-black Betty Paige haircuts.
Yeah Juno-writer lady!
Tilda is just awesome
Helen Mirren is just fabulously regal
My heroes are getting old- Jack is downright elderly, now. And Harrison. Oh, Harrison.
Bad haircut, scientologist or not, Any man who will waltz into his presentation is just fine in my book.
Fish scales, feathers, and animal prints are in. I have a deep seated fear that another Clan of the Cave Bear movie may follow.

You're entirely welcome, and it was all my pleasure.

And I must have been pretty much the wined-up tattooed wine boy to brazenly display my tattoos at the drop of a hat (not to mention some trou.)

You didn't see me complaining! :P

Well, I'd never even seen the first of the two they showed. It blew. It blew so bad that it was blatantly obvious what the producers wanted to win.

And T's was better.
