Thanks, you guys, for reading.
I have so much to say. Not just that a woman finally won Best Director. But she won Best Director, Best Film and Best Ex-Spouse-Fuck-You!
Mo'Nique's win wasn't at all surprising. But it really said to me that comedians can do serious drama. And I know that's happened before. But the fact is that they always have to prove it. But the good ones who do it? They're the ones who actually DO it. She fucking did it. Her performance was beyond measure.
Gabourey Sidibe? That girl is too remarkable. I just hope she gets the right roles (and isn't typecast as "the sassy, fat girl") because she's too cute and sweet and fabulous. As the late, lamented Patrick Swayze would say, she can't be "put in a corner!"
I had such a great time watching. It helped my commentary to have my best friend Heather with me. I loved every minute.

Oscar Night 2010 - Part II
The show, itself...
8:34 - Antonio Banderas in a full beard. He's apparently just given up.
8:37 - Where are Helen Mirren's boobs? She's always showing off the rack.
8:44 - Glad that Penelope Cruz hasn't been relegated to the Foreign Film ghetto... There's still Sophia Loren, though!
8:46 - Heather, on Woody Harrelson: "As he gets older, he's just going to get better... And that face? Is just going to get weirder."
9:01 - Shut it, Miley. If you can't deal, then go home.
9:13 - SJP is GNAWING HER GUM!!! Ugh!
9:17 - Molly Ringwald and Matthew Broderick? I feel like a kid again!
9:21 - John Hughes. Will there ever be anyone else who understands kids as well as he did?
9:34 - I love it when a gay man wins. "Isn't that like a man to not let the woman talk?" Isn't it like the old Jewish woman to run over someone's comment?
9:40 - So, apparently, Ben Stiller's only function, now, is to look like an ass at every awards show.
10:00 - Way to go, Mo! Bring it home, girl.
10:08 - Way to play the "near-death card," there, buddy.
10:09 - "Clothes whore"? Half-right.
10:12 - Charlize Theron's bodice looks like the result of unfortunate foreplay.
10:28 - Wouldn't it have made more sense to have had the stars of Paranormal Activity present the horror movie tribute?
10:29 - Zac Efron: Making me feel like a dirty old man since 2006.
10:30 - King/Queen of the Dead! Whoo!!!
10:41 - Brittany Murphy had a very tight lead. I was sure that Natasha Richardson would steal it, but Karl Malden took the win!
In all seriousness, though, I'm disappointed at the lack of such luminaries as Bea Arthur. But she was honored during the Emmys, so I can't complain, I guess. But watching that weird dance number and having lots of our recently passed friends not being shown just feels wrong.
11:01 - And Farrah Fawcett was left out of the Oscar In Memoriam montage. Once again, her death was upstaged by freaking Michal Jackson.
11:06 - Tyler Perry? You are super-hot, but... please be quiet.
11:18 - One of the Best Foreign Film winners was dressed like Wednesday Addams-gone-formal.
11:30 - Yes, Morgan Freeman is a giving actor. He gives it to his granddaugther.
11:45 - Heather: [Oprah's] wearing blue?
Peter: Everyone's wearing blue!
Heather: But all the black women are wearing the same color blue!
11:49 - Sandra Bullock: A Razzie and an Oscar in the same weekend. You rock that shit, girl!
11:52 - Best speech of the night. Sorry, Mo. Sandy took it.
11:55 - I just missed the announcement of the first female Best Director because I was running my mouth?
I love how humble she is. WHEN SHE JUST BEAT HER EX-HUSBAND!!!
11:59 - Heather: I thought they stopped saying, "And the winner is..."
Peter: Tom Hanks is old skool.
12:01: You know how I feel about men in uniform. Any uniform. And I don't just mean sexually.

Oscar Night 2010
I'm getting back in the blogging saddle and posting my running commentary on tonight's Oscars and red carpet, starting at 6pm eastern. Feel free to post your responses!
6:00 - Y'all ready?
Blah blah blah, Ryan. Just show me the dresses.
6:01 - FYI: Heather and I are doing the E! Red Carpet right now.
6:04 - What the hell's Zac Efron doing there? Not that I'm complaining. Ah... presenter.
6:09 - Not caring for Anna Kendrick's hair, but the dress is lovely. A little too close to her skintone, but still beautiful.
Mariska!!!
6:12 - Classy answer, Mo.
6:17 - Is blue the color of the evening? Mariah looks great, though -- and not insane!
6:19 - Am I supposed to care about this behind-the-scenes stuff?
6:27 - FYI: ABC has a live stream of the red carpet.
6:50 - A little late to the game with this one, but I'm so glad that Nicole Richie's settled down. She looks a bit dowdy tonight, though. A little too far on the opposite end of the spectrum.
7:00 - Sandra Bullock's pretty tipsy, I think. She had to hold on to the velvet rope stand.
7:03 - I'm watching Amanda Seyfried on both ABC.com and E! Aack! Brain freeze! Brain freeze!
7:50 - RDJ was on a little while ago. Normally, I hate when guys don't take off their sunglasses when being interviewed, but he's just so wonderful that I can let it go.
8:06 - "It's because she doesn't understand English." Oh, George Clooney! You rogue.
8:11 - Screw the Nelson Mandela celebration. I want to see Invictus because I want to see Matt Damon playing rugby. Hot.
8:22 - POSTURE, MILEY! POSTURE!
8:25 - Just to be "that guy," I think it's hilarious that Kathy Ireland, the supermodel, interviewed Gabourey Sidibe, the official Oscars big gal.
6:00 - Y'all ready?
