Still bummed I wasn't there for the big night myself.

That was possibly THE most hysterical Oscar opener they've had in years. Oh man. I laughed SO hard. I guess it was worth flipping on the channel just to see Billy Crystal as Gollum. Ahahahahaha, I'd give my left boob to see that again.


Oh, and one other thing. *ahem* IANJOHNNYLIJAHDOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Ian was the very first person I spotted! And he announced the clip for RotK! Which had hysterical!drug!abuser!frodo clipage! Muahaha! And Johnny no longer looks like a hobo! Though he seems to be channeling Jack Skellington! Baby steps Gabby, baby steps... AND EEEEEEE! LIJAH! AND DOOOOM DA-DOM DOM DOOOOM!!! I am a fangirl.

Heh, the Academy's are SO rigged. So far I've gone 3 for 3 in guessing the winners. *shakes head* AND ROBIN! EEEE! DID EVERYBODY SEE ROBIN? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! HE WAS FLASHING HIS BOOB! BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god the funny. Mayhaps I should have recorded this...

I'll inform you the second I miss-guess a winner. (BEST SHORT ANIMATED FILM DOESN'T COUNT ON ACCOUNT OF ME NOT KNOWING ANY OF THE CARTOONS BUT ONE!) (BEST SHORT DOCUMENTARY ALSO DOESN'T COUNT BASED ON THE SAME REASONS, DANG IT!) Damn, I have no excuse for "Best Cinematography." I guessed "Girl with the Pearl Earring." But considering I made it 3 hours without guessing wrong is still impressive. *cheeky grin*

Muahaha. When Richard Taylor won for best costume design this was me:
Me: Oh lord. Please tell me Richard isn't there so I don't have to listen to his acceptance speech. Oh please oh please... DANG IT! He IS there! Now I have to --- BILLLLLEEEEE!!!! *points at TV*

Heeeeee! BILLEH! SO CUTE! They show the Hobbits SO MUCH this year. Sheesh. I'm running out of squee (ha, you wish). AND TOM! TOM HANKS! LOOOOOVE! THEY PLAYED "HAIL TO THE CHIEF" AS HE WALKED OUT, IT WAS ALL PERFECTLY RANDOM AND HYSTERICAL! Oh, love. Love of the Bob Hope too.

DUDE, DID YOU SEE THE DIET PEPSI COMMERCIAL? THE GUY IN THE COMMERCIAL IS THE PLAYER FROM THE THIN LAPTOP COMMERCIAL! DUDE! I LOVE THAT GUY! I swear he's gonna be the next Matthew Perry. The guy's facial expressions are AWESOME.

I love Liv Tyler SO MUCH. She looks GORGEOUS tonight. I LOVE HER IN THOSE GLASSES! I WANT A PAIR OF GLASSES THAT LOOK LIKE THAT! SCREW 20/20 VISION, GIVE ME BUDDY HOLLY GLASSES!!! Anyway, hehe, this was me before she came out:
Me: *listening* Hey, they're playing Howard Shore! ("please welcome Liv Tyler...") ..Oh. That may be why.

*giggle* Oh yeah, I'm down, I got the 411. *ahem* Also, Sting is hot, and Allison Kraus STILL kicks butt. My lord. The girl can sing like nobody's business.

Hehe, Billy Crystal telling us what everyone in the audience is thinking... Wow, that was so so so funny. His impression of Robin Williams was impeccable! That was hysterical. I need to find someplace where I can download clips of this stuff for later, because honestly? He's SO FUNNY. I've got a tickle in my throat from laughing so much. AND WILL AND JADA SMITH ARE SOINLOVE AND SO CUTE IT KILLS ME! OMG I LOVE WILL SMITH SO FREAKIN' MUCH!!!!

OMGA! JIM CARREY AND BLAKE EDWARDS!!! THAT WAS THE BEST THING EVER! FIRST JIM'S STORY ABOUT HIS OLDER SISTER, THEN THE CLIP SHOW, AND FINALLY BLAKE ON THE RUNAWAY WHEELCHAIR.... BRILLIANT!! Omga. That was so incredibly wonderful I can't even begin to say.

If I have to listen to another acceptance speech from Richard Taylor I will blow a hole in my head. GAH! I HATE THAT MAN! I love that man, but I HATE THAT MAN! Though, it is great seeing Dom going "We won AGAIN?!" And Liv! Hahaha, priceless expressions man. But still. Oh, and what is UP with Fran tonight? Is she drunk? Hungover? High? Can't lift her head an inch? Geeze.

Oh my word! I didn't know Audry Hepburn, Buddy Hacket, or Gregory Hines died this year! Wow, that's terrible! What an incredible loss. Man, how awful.

Omga. Jack Black and Colin Ferrel on the stage together. No good can come from this. OMGA, "You're boring?" GENIUS! BRILLIANT! AHAHAHA! AND JOOOHN! JOHN CUSACK IS THERE! *LOOOOVES* AND TOBEY MAGUIRE! EEEEEE! Wow, I swear that kid should have been nominated for best actor. After having his performance as Red Pollard refreshed in my mind I'm just bowled over all over again by how amazing he was. He needs to get himself a role in a record breaking film and win lots and lots of awards. Yess. And take John Cusack with him. HEEE.

Is it wrong I want to throw a rotten tomato right in Phillipa Boyen's face? GET OFF THE STAGE!! GRRR!!!

Me: It's BILLEEEEEE---*with contempt* Uugh. His. girlfriend.
DAMNIT BILLY, DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BRING YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS TO THESE EVENTS? IT BURSTS THE FANTASY WORLD BUBBLES YOUR LOYAL STALKERS FANS SURROUND THEMSELVES WITH!!! GRRR.


Well, the bugger did it. PJ won Best Directer. Good for you boy, good for you. I think Billy Crystal sums it up best when he said, "And he's wearing shoes!!!" Hehehe. Now that is TRUE growth as a director. ;)

How much does Gabby love Adrian Broady (yes, I realize I said the SAME EXACT THING last year when he kissed the heck out of Queen Latifa)? LOTS. The breath mints! Aaah, he KILLS me! He is so wonderful. And I ADORE Charlize. I really do. Ever since I first saw The Italian Job. Good for you too, hun. ;)

OMGA. THAT WAS SO FUNNY! Did anyone watch the other actors when Sean Penn won best actor? First there was Johnny who was SO EXCITED, he was whooping and clapping, then the other two who looked equally happy clapping and cheering, and Bill Murray who was STOIC. AHAHAHA THAT WAS SO FUNNY! He almost looked angry! I pointed it out to my dad I thought it was so amusing, and then later Billy Crystal also seemed to noticed the same thing because he started consoling Bill. Hahaha that was so funny.

Well it was a clean sweep. But it wasn't the fact that RotK won Best Picture that got me. Oh no. It was Sean Astin who, when up on stage with the other hobbits, was in tears while Peter gave his speech. My god, I love him. That was so touching. It almost makes me want to search for a theater still playing RotK (though I doubt I'd find one) and go see it again. I love my hobbit boys. AND THE BIT ABOUT BILLY CRYSTAL'S COUSIN??? OMFGA THAT WAS SO FREAKIN' HYSTERICAL! "Are we related?" AHAHAHA I LOVED THAT PART SO MUCH!!! Anyway, amusing show. Predictable. Rigged. Totally worthless. But entertaining. :P

Today's Theme(s) For The Day:
"It is official: There's no one left in New Zealand to thank."--Billy Crystal
"You know, people are moving to New Zealand just to get thanked?"--Billy Crystal
"We are so grateful Lord of the Rings does not qualify for this category."--Winner of.. best.. something?

Hahaha, Billy Crystal was hilarious last night! The opening, the Robin Williams impression, everything. And your commentary was funny, too. at lease to me, hehe.

DAMN YOU

You NEED to put warnings on your entries! I'm serious! I didn't even watch the thing and you had me laughing! The part that got me was this:

Me: Oh lord. Please tell me Richard isn't there so I don't have to listen to his acceptance speech. Oh please oh please... DANG IT! He IS there! Now I have to --- BILLLLLEEEEE!!!! *points at TV*

I mean it! Put warnings on your entries: DO NOT READ AT SCHOOL!

Heh, I knew you would.

Sorry again. I guess I'll have to start putting warnings on my entries, though I really don't find them that amusing... :P You missed a funny show. I'm kinda glad I flipped the channel on now.
