Random thoughts on Oscar.

Disclaimer: The following represent my opinion; YMMV.

Chris Rock: not funny. Jude Law thing, not funny. Wait for a star thing, not funny, and you really set yourself up when your line is "when you need a star, wait for a star."

Note to Academy: when you need Billy Cystal, and all you can get is Chris Rock, WAIT. The Bush thing was funny, though.

(Just so you know, I love Chris Rock in other venues, and I really wanted to love him here - he just didn't get it quite right last night.)

Robin Williams: looked great, funny. Call him next time. Is it just me or did he lose weight?

Jeremy Irons and Johnny Depp: fabulous, drop dead gorgeous. Jeremy, funny, Johnny, lighten the f ... up, dude. You looked as if you were attending a funeral, but the duds, and you, were fab.

Hillary Swank: steal Jamie Foxx's speech writer, Hon, because you really need one, but the dress was great. Your mom told you you could do anything if you worked hard enough? You are so lucky. When I shared my dream with my mother, she called me a "dreamer," and then she laughed.

Jamie Foxx: great speech, and mostly great delivery, but we could see the crying thing was ACTING this time. But it was still a GREAT speech, as were the others at the Golden Globes and at SAG. You know the secret to a good speech is to tell a good story.

Dustin: don't drink and drive.

Lumet: great.

Hersholdt award: great

When will the Oscars love Marty?

Gowns: okay, nothing exceptional.

Theater: all we heard was how hard it was to get a ticket to the Oscars. The Academy might want to rethink that since in all the wide shots, the theater looked more than half empty.

Oprah: I want to know what you did to your face because you look great!

Charlize: super, but I didn't care much for the Gone With the Wind dress. But you looked great, though.

Rene: wow do you look drawn, tied, and tired. Are you not aging well, or is it just me? That hair color does nothing for you, just as it did nothing for Madonna. It makes you look older and harsh, not pretty. Would love to see you back in blonde, and in that vintage yellow gown you wore a few years ago.

Beyonce: well, you must be one tired girl from holding up all the bling in the Phantom number. Loved the French song, though.

Morgan: loved the scarf, you looked fab, what a voice.

Hallie: Dress. WOW.

BahBah Streisand: bring your glasses next time. What IF you, or rather Dustin on whatever mood altering substance he was on, got it wrong?

Jamie's remarks about women on BahBah Walter's special: he said he can't commit now that he's on top because he couldn't trust the woman - better to wait until all the hype and glamour is over, so that's his excuse for being "single deluxe." But that certainly explains Warren, though.

Warren Beatty, self-conscious about his looks? "You are too kind."

Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffin: her broken foot - slipped in bed??? Oh, puhleeeze.

And Melanie: You looked hot, sweaty, and disheveled, but then if I slept next to Antonio every night, I'd look hot, sweaty, and disheveled, too. OR maybe it was just a poorly timed hot flash. I'm wondering if he's the faithful kind. You always end up with the cruel boys, the naughty boys, the narcissists.

Carlos Santana: dude, you still rock. Antonio's song: You are hot hot hot, but that was not not not a great rendition of the song. You were acting that song, not singing it.

Leonardo: you are one fabulous actor, but when you date a model, it's hard to take you seriously.

Warren: don't look at the microphone being thrust up at your face as if it's a gun or stinky sweat socks. Maybe you just need glasses. Annette looked fabulous, though. They should have given dual Oscars because how much longer can she keep it up? Someone please write more parts for fabulous women over 25.

BahBah WahWah: why were most of your questions for Hillary so negative?

Hated the whole thing with all the nominees on the stage. Soundmixing, costumes, etc, are important, but including some of the awards previously known as technical awards made the whole thing draaaaag on way too long. Start EARLIER, morlons. IF you finish by or before 10 pm in all time zones, we won't notice if it drags. Didn't mind the Oscars in their seats, but it was sort of weird, and obviously rushed, so why bother. Loved the Chris Rock drive through Oscars thing, though.

Some of the ads were good, better than the Super Bowl, but of course now I can't remember a one.

Now it's off to see the movies ...
