Boringest Oscars Ever!
Posted by E190 on February 26, 2007
I couldn’t do it. I abandoned all hope of entertainment while Céline was caterwauling in that horrible dress. All the awards anyone cares about (other than the nominees, of course) were saved for the end for some unknowable reason, leaving the first drab two hours like a platter of celery sticks when we were expecting petit fours. And Ellen, sorry, was not at her best. I hear Helen Mirren won. Shocking…
Best line of the evening from the ultra super hunky winner of best short film, Ari Sandel, on his West Bank Story, a reworking of West Side Story taking place between Israelis and Palestinians:
I made a comedy musical about Israelis and Palestinians that takes place between two falafel stands in the West Bank …
The only film from the whole dreary mess I haven’t seen yet that I now want to.

I thought Ari was yummi too! and LOLed when I heard the name of his short film and they showed the clip.
Celine’s song was terrible but then the songs nominated for oscar were also terrible (all five)..
It ended up being lesbian power night at the oscars. Lesbian presenter, lesbian singer taking home the oscar and lots of potential and/or closeted lesbians during the ceremony. Also some gays (out and closeted).

I’ll me more impressed when an uncloseted, completely out actor wins best actor or actress. It’s going to be a long, long wait and if it turned out that Gael García Bernal were gay and out, I would be very very very happy).

Celine… *shudder*
I never win anything. It’s not fair, dammit

Keep reaching for the stars, ChooChoo … but don’t grope or they’ll slap a restraining order on you so faster than um … faster than something really really fast!
