I agree-eh! Very boring and the fashions were very blah! Jon Stewart needed help too. Can’t imagine what it would have been like had the writers still been on strike.
How about glued-on helmet head? I have been lurking on your site for quite some time now and find it absolutely hilarious. I started reading your blog when your daughter’s accident was mentioned on another blog… and aside from keeping my fingers crossed that the reattachment would work (which it has), I got hooked on your posts.
I haven’t watched the Oscars for a long time; I prefer to catch the highlights on tv shows and look at the pictures in the magazines. The Oscars have become too much; all the different categories so no one is overlooked or snubbed… the endless thank you speeches…
Anyway, just wanted to let you know the enjoyment you are giving me as I suffer through the end of one rotten, lousy winter up here in northeast Canada.
In other words, I didn’t miss anything. I never watch award shows these days, I just watch recap shows on other stations (like Fashion Police) to see what people were wearing. Who cares otherwise? AND THE ROCK? AT THE OSCARS? Puhlease!
Oh, Clooney off the singles list. Met her in Vegas (cocktail waitress) and word was if he took her to the Oscars then that’s it for Mr. Single. Glad you caught him.
I think I’m beginning to get a better understanding of the look my hairdresser was going for when I went to see her last week. Helmet Head looks sexier on you than it does on me bossy.
Bossy – more on Maya. Isn’t she PTA (Paul Thomas Anderson’s) main squeeze & baby mamma? I saw him in the oscar audience, but couldn’t tell if that was her next to him. What does Bossy think/know?
Yeah, kinda like those little Lego people with snap-on hair that you step on in the dark in the middle of the night.
And, as Craig mentioned above, I thought the other big hair story was the Afterthought Ponytail look (Ellen Page, Cameron Diaz, etc.) with the big ol’ Girl ‘Burns.
This recap makes me seriously thankful that I spent hours on end watching NASCAR during a bunch of cautions, red flags, and bad weather. A disappointment, sure. But at least I didn’t have to stab my own eyes out with a dull spoon (because it hurts more, you idiot **some movie quote but can’t remember which one**) over having to stare at bad helmet head hair. Especially when it comes to Dwayne Johnson. I so wouldn’t have *hearted* him anymore if I had to witness it live.

I saw a closeup of Travolta’s head somewhere, and that hair is definitely FROM A CAN. The same kinda can that produces SPRAY CHEESE.
Travolta might have just worn a sign on his chest announcing to the world he sprayed his head with spray paint. I do a better job at halloween on my kids….

I haven’t watched an “award show” in years. Seriously, why are these people getting awards? Because they can act? Heck you should see the job my 6 year old does when she doesn’t want to eat the chicken on her plate.
I mean, I love me some Cusack as much as Bossy (and he should have been nominated for something at sometime over the years) but still, do we really need 3+ hours of people wearing outfits that cost more than my car payment in order to give it to him? Nah.

Daniel Day-Lewis was worth the wait..He’s a classy cat.
And Dexter has it right about the scientologists removing the brain of Travolta, and replacing it with a flip-top for easy access.

I’ll go out on a limb and state that I was disappointed that Norbitt didn’t win in the make-up cateogry. We laugh ourselves silly over some Norbitt here in these parts.
Andy Griffith called. Howard is missing. Last seen impersonating Martin Luther King.

The BEST part of the Oscars was waiting to see which presenter would slip on that one spot by the mic.
Eh is definitely the word.
What I want to know ’cause I have an inquiring mind, who is that woman in the little box in the Rock’s photo? And what is she doing?
Bossy takes the best TV pictures.
yeah, what was up with the hair on the Rock and Travolta??? dark. severe. unflattering. yuck! kinda looked like it was painted on with a sharpie!
OMG – I picked up on the same hairdo thingy also!! Check out my OSCAR OBSERVATIONS on my blog: http://thecolorofhome.blogspot.com
Too funny! Love the one of George’s date!!
Yea, I noticed the sharpie hair on Travolta too….plus the gumby thick neck. Maybe the whole “look” is a weird botox thing.
Did Ellen Page have helmet hair too?
George Clooney brought Martin Luther King?
I rested easy in skipping the whole deal, because I knew I could count on you for a sharp, insighful summation. Me=not disappointed.
Mmmmm, furrowed Clooneybrow.
Did you see who got the oscar for best sound editing. I am dying to know.
JT looked like he had sprayed his hair on. Is that possible?
Um. That was TWO words…Helmet (one) Head (Two) Unless helmethead is a compound word. It could be. But I don’t think so.
I did not watch a single second, so I appreciate the recap. Thank you.
I thought it looked a little pube-like.
Oh, Clooney off the singles list. Met her in Vegas (cocktail waitress) and word was if he took her to the Oscars then that’s it for Mr. Single. Glad you caught him.
Eh? Really? I actually enjoyed it. First time in many years, in fact.
The Oscars were incredibly boring as usual, but also as usual, I couldn’t turn it off. Damn you Oscar.
And what was with all the women with “wind-swept” hair? They all looked like Hermey the Misfit Elf who wanted to be a dentist.
I was too distracted by The Rock having a name other than The Rock to notice his hair.
Travolta looks like a mental patient. Wasnt that guy nominated who starred in “the crossed eyed Jimi story”? I didnt see him.
Ken Doll Hair.
Glued on fuzz.
So fugly.
But ya know what, I kind of relate to John.
I was once slightly cute.
I am not any more.
Just like John.
I think I’m beginning to get a better understanding of the look my hairdresser was going for when I went to see her last week. Helmet Head looks sexier on you than it does on me bossy.
Bossy – more on Maya. Isn’t she PTA (Paul Thomas Anderson’s) main squeeze & baby mamma? I saw him in the oscar audience, but couldn’t tell if that was her next to him. What does Bossy think/know?
Travolta looked like Dracula. TRULY.
And what is up with Cameron Diaz?? eewwww.
Yeah, kinda like those little Lego people with snap-on hair that you step on in the dark in the middle of the night.
And, as Craig mentioned above, I thought the other big hair story was the Afterthought Ponytail look (Ellen Page, Cameron Diaz, etc.) with the big ol’ Girl ‘Burns.
Everyone was wearing their “just in case it rains” hair.

i’m pretty sure travolta’s hair was painted on.
Thank goodness for DVR.
Travolta gave me the heebie-jeebies.
thanks for the recap.

I couldn’t help but be entertained by the endless montages last night. I love me a good montage.
The helmet head? Only works on Jim Carrey when he’s playing Lloyd Christmas, methinks.
THIS POST was the funniest and bets part of the entire OSCAR experience this year…THANK YOU
yawn. the oscars were cure for my insomnia. well. that and the x@nax.
I’ll bet they paid big bucks for that cut:o
