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. ;-)

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).
