Oscar: the Grouch

[ladyvyola]

How the hell did the Oscar telecast manage to feel rushed and yet drag on endlessly?

Gil Cates, roast in hell for the worst-produced and worst-directed show I've ever seen.

Just fascinating to see the class divide in show business rear its ugly head. I mean, we all knew who the little people were, but to see them actually get stepped on during the show? Awesome, dude! Makes every little kid or teenager or twenty-something just dream of the day they'll get their drive-by award.

Did you also notice the LACK of FEMALES when the little people were brought up on stage?

It didn't really hit me until last night...

Men men men men men.

At one point, I wanted to start singing It's Raining Men, but, as you know, I don't know all the words. ;-)

They're something like this:

Humidity is rising
Barometer's getting low
According to our sources
The street's the place to go

Cause' tonight for the first time
Just about half past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start rainin men

It's raining men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Amen

I'm gonna go out
I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutley soaking wet

It's rainin men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Every special men

Tall blonde dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took over heaven
And she did what she had to do

She fought every Angel
To rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy

It's raining men

Don't get yourself Weather Girls
I know you want to

I feel stormy wheather moving in
About to begin
Hear the thunder
Don't you loose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
(Rip off the roof and stay)

It's raining men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Amen

It's raining men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Amen

It's raining men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Amen

It's raining men
Hallejulah
It's raining men
Amen

It's raining men
It's raining men
It's raining men

Oh Jesus!

Okay...I don't know the TUNE! (As the words were clearly on the monitor since we were at karaoke...)

Now...link to the MP3, smart-boy! ;-)

It's amazing what you can find by Googleing "It's Raining Men" + Lyrics

I didn't watch it - I just did the outfits post-mortem the morning after.

Apparently it's the 1930s again, because oyster-coloured slinky satin is back in fashion (although none of the fashionistas apparently know what oyster-coloured satin is).

My personal Oscar clothes winner was Jamie Foxx's daughter who looked absolutely adorable, accessorised perfectly (those gloves *made* that outfit) and provoked a squeal of "oh, God, a child dressed appropriately!" from me.

Second was Cate Blanchett - the only woman I have ever seen who can get away with wearing pale yellow (the most unforgiving colour I know of).

<<<< oooo, a perfect chance to use this icon!

Well, I spent a great deal of the pre-show and telecast saying, "I still like my dress better!" as I just last week finally found a gown for the movie premiere. And I like '30s Hollywood, as you will be able to tell when we post pictures of the grand affair. (But not oyster-colored slinky satin -- not my color and slinky is a little too clingy for my figure.)

"I still like my dress better!"

But we'll really have to wait and get the reaction from the, um, "guests." ;-)
