February 26, 201214 yr I'm going to use this thread to blog about the Red Carpet, The Oscars and the winners and losers for the 84th Annual Academy Awards. The Ryan Seacrest show has started on E! He is still the best at doing the Red Carpet of anyone out there. I think the ABC network should hire him once his E! contract expires. I hear he may be leaving E! News anyway after this year. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the Oscars, known as the SuperBowl for gay men. . .
February 26, 201214 yr The pre-show on E! had a couple of interesting things but one of the most interesting was Darren Criss singing with Kermit The Frog. What's not to like in this picture?
February 27, 201214 yr Glenn Close and Octavia Spencer are so far the best dressed that I've seen on the Red Carpet. Both Viola Davis and Glenn Close are wearing green. That's an unusual color for The Red Carpet. I will have pictures later when I can find some good ones. But I'll put one up of Viola Davis.
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members I'm here! I liked the Darren Criss picture. Also, I am so surprised that the red carpet stuff is already started. Usually you think of this stuff happening at night...
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members OMG! Is that the Dictator? That Dave Karger is a doll! He's gay too!
February 27, 201214 yr I really like Glenn Close's green dress. First pic. I'm NOT a fan of Melissa McCarthy's dress. She looks like a big pillow. Second pic. And Jessica Chastain (from The HELP) looks like she is wearing a drapery. Third pic.
February 27, 201214 yr Octavia Spencer is one of the BEST dressed of the night so far. This dress really compliments her body. First PIC. Rooney Mara's dress really washes out her skin. Definitely not a best dressed. She needed a bolder color. Second pic. Michelle Williams looked fantastic in this slightly off red dress. Third pic.
February 27, 201214 yr OMG! Is that the Dictator? I am NOT a fan Sacha Baron Cohen at all. I guess that was supposed to be comedy??? But throwing an urn of what was supposed to be Kim Jung Ill's ashes all over Ryan Seacrest was tacky and not funny. I'm sure it will be aired over and over again everywhere so it will help The Dictator's movie perhaps and maybe Ryan Seacrest's public exposure. But it was not funny and not welcome at the Red Carpet for the Academy Awards in my opinion.
February 27, 201214 yr Jessica's dress is too busy in the middle. Glenn's dress is nice but I think she will be a bit warm in it. I can't see their shoes!!
February 27, 201214 yr Jennifer Lopez is absolutely beautiful in this dress. It was all Ryan Seacrest could do to keep from pretend looking down her cleavage. . .LOL [First PIC] George Clooney and date are also stunning. [second pic] Christopher Plummer also looks excellent and he is almost certain to walk home with gold. [Third pic] And Jean DuJardin from The Artist also heats up the Red Carpet [Fourth pic]
February 27, 201214 yr Wow such a beautiful dress but too much cleavage do we have send kids to their bedroom?
February 27, 201214 yr Meryl Streep is wearing gold. I'm not sure I'm loving that look [First pic] Penelope Cruz is stunning in a bluish lavender. [second pic] And Natalie Portman is always stunning in red [Third pic]
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members Um, what are thee guys wearing? I couldn't care less about dresses!
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members I love Meryl's shoes! I was wondering when you would get around to the shoes, Hito.
February 27, 201214 yr The Best Dressed of the evening once again goes to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. [First two pics] And Gweneth Paltrow was also beautiful. I loved the cape. [Third pic] And Sandra Bullock didn't quite make it in her hanging fabric. [Fourth pic]
February 27, 201214 yr The opening with Billy Crystal going through the movies was once again very well done and it looks like they gave him a bit of a budget this year. He's just a great entertainer. It's interesting that they are doing the technical awards first this year. Hugo has 2 already. And "The Artist" & "The Iron Lady" both have 1 right off the bat. Usually they do Best Supporting Actor first but not this year. "I remember talking about Sean Connery and his performance and his chest hair and just saying, 'Can I please do that?'" -Adam Sandler at The 84th Academy Awards Did anyone else notice the first Ellen DeGeneres commercial for JCPenney? Cute. 4 more to come tonight. I'm glad "A Separation" won Best Foreign Film from Iran. it has the momentum going into the awards tonight. Octavia Spencer deserved to win for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS. She was brilliant in "The HELP".
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members I liked Spencer in that as well. She can use my toilet anytime!
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members I think Jonah Hill is going to win for Moneyball. Plummer has the edge, but I think hill will beat him out.
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members HuffPost has the Dictator spilling ashes prank: Dictator Prank (Actually, Huffpost links to Moviefone for the prank.)
February 27, 201214 yr Active Members Gosh, am I live blogging by myself? EXPAT signed out! I lost on best supporting actor, but best director will easily go to Michel Hazanavicius, "The Artist" even though Martin Scorsese, "Hugo" is favored.
