tvordljJust a few notes as i watch this so far...
Intro with Ellen, not bad. Bits that made it look like she was caught on camera backstage... different. And i liked her wandering through the audience too.
Always something cringingly embarassing though and the triple "comedian" thing with Will Farrell, Jack Black and John C. Reilly? awful!
Ooh i saw one of the nominated animated shorts! It was The Danish Poet, they showed it before The Queen yesterday! And it's produced by the Canadian National Film Board.
Orchestra cutting off the speeches. Rude, Rude, Rude.
Sound effects "choir" ... clever
Many of the gowns seemed to be either strapless or halter style. Saw dressed i didn't really like but nothing yet that screams "What were you thinking?" but.... what i have noticed this year and in past recent years is that many of the women have these wonderful and expensive formal gowns and do nothing with their hair! It just hangs there or worse. Cameron Diaz's and Rachel Weiz's hair looks like they were trying to grow it out, pulled it back and the rest shagged out all endy and sticking out. Someone else's hair looked like she used rollers or a curling iron on it but forgot to brush it out after.
It's almost 11:30, don't think i'll last much longer. the middle bit is always so boring.
