Finally!

We should now be back to normal.

I gave up on the Oscars at about 10:00, right after Anne picked up her award.  I didn't think it was a horrible show but there wasn't enough going on that warranted missing a good night's sleep before a Monday.  While I found a good deal of Seth McFarland's material funny (the Von Trapp Family bit actually made me laugh out loud), I don't understand why he needed to occasionally go so tasteless.  He also has a wide misogynistic streak.

I agree with BK that the highlight of the evening was Shirley Bassey knocking "Goldfinger" out of the park.  And yet, who gets a standing ovation?--Jennifer Hudson with her overamplified, autotuned and underwhelming "And I Am Telling You".  Feh!

Low point (aside from the Lincoln joke) was Paul Rudd and Mary McCarthy doing God-knows-what they think they were doing.  I agree with Rex Reed on McCarthy--the woman's only schtick is her weight.

You actually think Jennifer Hudson was autotuned?

I rarely watch the red carpet & usually only look at the photos online.  I'm glad I watched last night.  My favorites were:

Best dress Stacy Keibler
2nd favorite dress and the most stunning, Sandra bullock
Ann Hathaway's had on a beautiful necklace
Quvenzhane Wallis best purse
Jamie Foxx's daughter looked lovely in her beautiful dress.

[Jane]

I watched part of the show.  I'll try & finish watching later today.

I just wish people would dress up more today.....

NEWS FLASH:  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PAIR OF DRESS JEANS.  JEANS ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR WEDDINGS OR FUNERALS.....JUST BARELY APPROPRIATE FOR GRADUATIONS AND EVENINGS AT THE THEATRE!!!

Very much agree with you DR Jrand62. Wanting to dress casually is usually just an excuse to dress scruffily.

I'll throw my vote in with this one, too, even though I'm probably as guilty of scruff as anyone.

Bitterly cold again today. I'm really sick of this chilly weather which has gone on for most of January and February.

I am scruff.

BK,

I totally agree with you about the show last night.  BORING!

However, I did enjoy the numbers from LES MISERABLES and CHICAGO.

Much of the humor was in bad taste...and, worst of all, not amusing.

The funniest line of the night was Daniel Day-Lewis' Margaret Thatcher quip.

Was a number from "Chicago" really necessary?

Probably nor, but it was one of the better numbers in the show.

[Jennifer]

The Chicago number was entertaining but I wish she had been singing live. It did not even remotely look like she was singing.

[Jennifer]

I thought the LES MIS number was amazing. And I did actually think that Seth seemed quite talented in his singing and dancing numbers.

[Jrand74]

We should now be back to normal.

Or next to normal....anyway.

[Jennifer]

DR Jane I agree aout Stacey Keibler and Sandra Bullock's dresses. Very pretty. I also thought Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lawrence both looked stunning.

[bk]

I'm up again - I went back to bed and got four more hours of sleep - that was the right thing to do.

[Edisaurus]

Of course, one very good thing about last night's Oscars was that they DIDN'T do the tributes to the best actors and actresses as they announced those winners.  That idea was a pretty bad one.

That was a real relief. I hope that idea is gone for good. It seemed very "reality TV" driven.

[George]

George - I don't suppose you would have happened to have  recorded the Oscars?

As a matter of fact, I did.  I didn't record any of the pre-show stuff or Jimmy Kimmel's after-Oscar show, but I got the whole 3-hour (without commercials) broadcast.

[George]

George - I don't suppose you would have happened to have  recorded the Oscars?

DR Vixmom, I'm not sure where, but I heard this morning that the entire broadcast is available for viewing on the web.

Vixmom, if that's good enough for you, just let me know and I won't send a disc...but if you want a disc, let me know, too.

Just heard from Dolores' son that she had a full hip replacement this afternoon and that the surgery went well. He hasn't seen his mom yet. I would imagine she's still under the affect of the anesthesia.

I need to drive to the ends of the earth today -   I haz received a grand jury summons

VIBES THEY DON'T WANT YOU!!!!

[Jane]

Nope - a simple Google search tells the reason no one serves it anymore - you can thank the United States government as we can for so many stupid things: In 1999 they raised the tariff on Roquefort and other imported foods from Europe 100% because Europe refused to buy hormone injected beef from the US.  End of Roquefort dressing because a pound of Roquefort cheese costs around fifty bucks to get here.  Bravo US.  Perhaps they should think about reversing the tariff.  There also seems to be some question whether restaurants actually used real Roquefort cheese, but I'm here to tell you they did.  There was a big difference between Bleu and Roquefort.

Interesting.  Instead they should have outlawed hormone injected beef here.

Well, the cinemascope on page 2 made that impossible to read, so if I missed anything important, i apologize.

I think we are ready for the SUPERMAN orchestra reading on Monday and my Encores! work is finished for this round. Tomorrow, I'm back to Madame Roberta and "Lovely To Look At."

My 3:30 meeting cancelled, so we moved that to Wednesday afternoon and I headed home.  I stopped in the corner market, and I swear there are a lot of stupid asses who shouldn't be allowed to be parents.

I didn't watch as far as Jennifer Hudson, however, I do recall Shirley Bassey receiving a standing ovation.

Thank goodness, and thanks for reminding me it was ok to put my font size back to normal.
