I just look at the gown pix online the next day. I'm both impatient AND lazy. :mrgreen:

Oh, I love that part too. I've been checking out all the after pics.

The current Oscar show was badly staged in part of it. They had another stage in the middle somewhere that only had one camera on it, so you couldn't see a close up of the presenters, which took away from being able to enjoy the gowns.

I like that regular ties have replaced bow ties too for tuxedos.

Of all the narcissistic, self congratulatory, rich people parties, the Academy Awards are the worst.

Same here. What did you think of all the dresses that had the bottoms all ripped and puffed out? I thought it was ugly.
I enjoy watching the Oscars. I was happy that Jeff Bridges won, and that Avatar didnt win much. However Sandra Bullock shouldnt have won, I thought Gabourey Sidibe should have won.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

I haven't had chance to look at them all yet. I usually catch up with the red carpet stuff a few days later on the Internet and in magazines. I watched some of the ceremony in news clips but I missed most of the red carpet beforehand. I'll catch up with the pics soon and tell you what I think of those dresses.

Here's where I usually go for the best red carpet pics - they might not have them all up yet and I haven't had time to have a proper look but it's the website I go to for Oscars stuff http://oscar.go.com/red-carpet?cid=10_oscars_primaryNav

When I visited LA a few years ago, I got lucky as there were very few tourists around and so my daughter and I had the "Oscars tour" of the Kodak theatre to ourselves. The guy doing the tour was an actor (of course!) and the week before I went there, I'd seen in him an episode of Friends. Our private tour was all very camp and starry-gossipy but my daughter and I had a great time and enjoyed every spangly minute of it!

The ones I am talking about are like this one

What's with all this fashion bollocks? :dono:

I suppose it shows up the vacuous nature of the nature of the oscars far more than any amount of vitriol and evidence of overlooked films ever could but perleeeeaaaasssseee, can't I just move this whole derail to the "Shopping for Shoes" forum? :hehe:

Have you tried Zappo's? Shipping is free, even for returns. They are on the pricier side, but I have never been disappointed with the quality and very importantly the customer service. I've ordered shoes in the evening, and the often come the next day. One pair of shoes I purchased ripped a seam after wearing them several times, and they replaced them without asking for the defective shoes back.

I hate that the Oscars make my commute even more hellish than it normally is thanks to closing down part of Hollywood Blvd, but otherwise I enjoy watching it and betting on winners. I don't take stock in it though considering how many times they get it wrong. I also enjoy the fashion :pop:

I hate Oscar acceptance speeches, that silly moo who won Best Supporting Actress was the worst. "Thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what is popular to do what is right." WTF? You acted in a film you pretentious cow, you're not Nelson Mandela, just thank your mum and get the fuck off the stage. :roll:
