Oscar Moments

[jamesq]

6:21: Meryl Streep's daughter looks like wee_megan.

6:38: Hugh Jackman's song and dance abilities are phenomenal. Anne Hathaway is adorable.

7:23: SJP is a little horse tonight.

7:55: I like chorus girls a lot.

8:10: Heath Ledger wins. Surprisingly they follow this with Best Documentary and not the march of the dead.

8:13: Bill Maher wears a suit made of vinyl.

8:32: The sound mixers are all LOADED!

8:48: The powers that be cut off Jerry Lewis.

9:07: The best foreign film went neither to the Hebrew or Holocost film, it went to the Japanese film. We're all shocked.

9:16: The march of the dead. :(

9:19: Reese Witherspoon says something, but we don't know what because everyone turned catty at the same time.

9:40: Bobby De Niro must have been drinking with the sound mixers.

9:42: Angelina Jolie and Micky Roarke are competing to see who has the largest ring.

9:47: Amen Sean Penn. Amen.

9:54: The entire cast and crew of Slumdog Millionaires celebrates their Best Picture win.

She does not look like me!

[jamesq]

The general consensus at the party is that she's hot, so we're curious why you're objecting.

[wee-megan.livejournal.com]

hahaha. Well I'm flattered. I just saw the red carpet stuff and didn't think that we had much of a resemblance, that's all.

[wee-megan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the chorus girls were hot :)

[jamesq]

Ok, you need to know that I do this every year. Next time you have to come to the party.

I'm just at home sick in my pj's watching it by myself. I'm in next year though! Thanks!

7:23 - Did she whinny?

[jamesq]

I meant her sore throat, what are you talking about ;)

8:59 It sounds like a bunch of Indian people are singing "Giant Ho"

9:16 did they not mention Heath Ledger?

[jamesq]

The theory here is that they had two versions of the montage: One with Heath that would be used if he didn't win Best Supporting Actor and one without that they used because he did win.

[wee-megan.livejournal.com]

So him winning trumps the fact that he died? hmm...not getting the logic. I thought maybe the family asked them not to put him in?

[minyata.livejournal.com]

I was wondering about that, but I was painting so I missed the first person in memory. I thought it was Heath...

[kayeita.livejournal.com]

Didn't they mention him at last year's oscars b/c he passed away last january and the oscars would have been in February?

[garething.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember he was the last person on last years March of the Dead...

What did Sean Penn say at 9:47?

[mallt.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be missing the "a"....

For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight. I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone.

Thank you for posting the quote. You Tube is blocked here, and lj crashes the system I'm using at home. At least I'll know where to look.

But from what you quoted, that's a great sentiment, and well expressed.
