Oscars debrief

My point for point review of Hollywood’s big night:

Highlights:
Tim Robbin’s flipping off Chris Rock, Charlie Kuafman’s being intimidated by the ‘shot clock’, Sidney Lumet’s acceptance speech for his Lifetime Achievement Award (What a classy dude).

Best Supporting Actor – Morgan Freeman: Hey you guys! It’s the Electric Company. I liked Clive Owen.

Best Supporting Actress – Cate Blanchet: No brainer. Hollywood does so love itself.

Best Actress – Hiary Swank: Forgot the back of her dress. Another no brainer.

Best Actor – Jamie Foxx: Enough already. You’re not Ray Charles. You can shut up now and go hang with Cuba Gooding in his shitty roles. See ya in Soulplane 2.

Best Director – Clint Eastwood: Yep, he gets the ‘you’re-ready-to-tip-over’ Directing Oscar. Scorsese dissed again.

Best Picture – Million Dollar Baby: *Mike making a fish face with flapping gill action* Fished in. You all fell for it… What a sad commentary. It was good, but not that good.

Bitches:
Beyoncé – Do you really know what you were singing? Shut up!
Sean Penn – Still a brainless egotistical turd.
Barbara Striesand – Still with the big nose but now you’re fat too.

Overall:
My prevailing thoughts during the bradcast: *yawn* When will this end.

I can’t wait until next year.
