10 Repulsive Things About The Oscars Noticed By Cate While Doing Her Income Taxes And Making Brownie

[catelin]

1. Russell Crowe's hair (Go Greased Lightning!!)
2. Steve Martin's painfully humorless "jokes."
3. Catherine Zeta Jones and her self-conscious camera-hogging. Blech!
4. Bob Dylan's teeth and the way that camera angle made it look like his eyes were rolling up into his head...too Bela Lugosi.
5. Dino DeLaurentis seems to have fathered his own grandchildren.
6. Bjork's "Leda" impression.
7. Appalling lack of much of anything but white, white, white faces.
8. Just about all of the real class acts have died.
9. The goofy satellite sequences.
10. Rene Zellwiger's constant squinting and blinking...Reminded me of "It's Pat."

I must respectfully disagree. I thought Steve Martin's dry delivery made him the best host in years, particularly all of the Russell Crowe bashing. Far more amusing than Mr. Crowe's hair. Or pehaps I just still give Mr. Martin slack that has since evaporated for Ms. Goldberg and Mr. Crystal.

And I simply loved Dylan's slightly hilarious performance... to me he looked like a mad cross between Slim Whitman and Vincent Price. I believe ALL Oscar song performances should be performed against a black void with creepy up-lighting. It was the only win of the evening where the losers didn't look miffed. After all, you can't really complain to losing out to Bob Dylan, can you?

Actually, I don't think it was the content of the jokes that bothered me so much as his pained half-embarassed delivery of them. I would have preferred gleefully unapologetic jibes. But anything is better that Whoopie/Billy. Ack. I did enjoy the way Russell Crowe puffed up like a wet hen--oh so self-righteous and indignant! THAT made me laugh.

Slim Whitman + Vincent Price...That's exactly it!!! Hehehehehe!!! Oh, Bobby...what has happened that you've come to this? ; )

Bob ~= Vincent Price

Julia Robert != (but wishes she did) Audrey Hepburn. That really annoyed the hell out of me.

Ah, bob, what happened to you indeed....

Bob Sieger said that folk music in america is just a bunch of people fishing from the same stream. All pulling their catch from the same continual flow.

Arlo Guthrie said that Bob Dylan is the guy at the head of the stream with the big ass net.

That's hilarious. I love Arlo. : ) And the Julia/Audrey....don't know if that's what she was going for; but if so, she failed (as anyone would--Audrey Hepburn is one of a kind).
