ok, so we stayed up til the best picture was announced......even though we had seen few of the heavily contested pictures.......i must say that i was annoyed at chris rock's brand of humor......nasty comment made about gwynneth paltrow breast feeding an apple wasn't helpful.....and the comment about oprah being so rich that john kerry was set to propose wasn't either.......oprah didn't look pleased.....and one wouldn't want to cross her, would one?.....great dresses this year.....i really liked cate blanchett's dres.....it did look very 30's......and i also liked julia robert's gown.......whose cleavage was enhanced by breastfeeding of twins.......luckily rock let that one pass without a jibe...julia looked so radiant, which means she must have live-in help with those children........renee zelwegger's dress was so tight she couldn't have breathed nor walk......which made her face look even more puffy and pained.....she always looks like her eyes are swollen shut.......let's see....i forget about the male gender.......jeremy irons wore a getup that resembled high-end nehru ensemble......the coat longish and the shirt not tucked in......what was he thinking.........i was pleased that sideways won for best adapted screenplay......and i also enjoyed the music....beyonce certainly has a range that goes unnoticed in the hip-hop scene.....her duet with josh groban was nice.....as was her piece with the boy's choir singing french.....and then there was carlos santana backing up antonio banderas with the spanish song........the hair was distracting.....but it was very touching......and then yoyo ma playing a cello piece as they rolled the in memorium reel.........ah well......they say a winter storm is a-coming.....and as always.....it it is going to snow...it better snow big enough for a day off.......so i can lounge about and watch oscar-winning dvd's from years gone by......
