Host: Meryl Streep
Let John Travolta present all the awards. Funniest Oscars yet, guaranteed.
I have seriously reached saturation point when it comes to technically and artistically good films/shows with underwritten and/or vastly outnumbered women characters. I don't care how slick it looks or how many awards it has. I just think "oh look, another sausage fear thank god, there aren't enough of these already".…
They sped up the music, cut out a whole measure of the song, and the orchestra was telecasting, and wasn't even in the building. All of these add up to a less than ideal situation.
They totally shortened it. They cut off a whole stanza! First Travolta botches her name and then they rush her through a three minute song. I'd be pissed too.
It also seemed like they played it far too fast! She seemed pissed as all get out when it was over, (and rightly so!)
Hey now, don't bash 'em until you tried 'em.
It was awkward, but to be fair, you did cut off where she says "they are probably thinking there's that girl who kisses all those white guys on her show." When asked "what do you think everyone here is thinking about you?"
This woman is the best thing to ever happen to award shows.
My thing about high heels is that they make me so grumpy. How can you have a good time if your feet are in such pain?
It's horrible because he was truly excellent in that role, but Chiwetel was never going to win. He was out campaigned by McConaughey (and Di Caprio) throughout the season.
This is stupid beyond belief. Rowling was a single mother on welfare when she wrote the first Harry Potter. She didn't bloody wave a magic wand and poof! Bestsellers everywhere!
The mark of someone terrible at their profession:
One day a friend of mine who has an MA in English Education told me with all seriousness that she corrected her students who thought Colbert was a liberal satirist. She wanted to make sure that they knew he was actually a very staunch conservative because she watched the show all the time. I was so heartbroken I…
Next on his vendetta list—The Onion! Did you know most of their stories aren't even TRUE?!
I really hope Colbert responds to this with the most outrageous selective editing possible.
"[A] fake anchor if ever there was one" ... Does he really think that people believe that Stephen Colbert is a real anchor? Maybe he is only partly getting it? What part of Comedy Central does he not understand? And does his staff not know enough to explain what satire is? This whole thing is fascinating. Now I'm…
A Fox News host is angry about things being taken out of context and selectively edited? Colbert is going to have a field day with that.
