I skipped the
Oscars this year as I’ve been railing against the collective Celebrity Fever
that’s overtaken the nation and felt like I needed to walk the talk. John Jay (pictured) was kind enough to take the trash-talking reigns,
revealing an interesting Jessica Biel/Helen Mirren co-fixation.
8:04 P.M.
I usually boycot the
Oscars unless I feel passionate about someone or something...but since Jason is
catching an 810pm
I am watching E's red carpet now. It pretty much stands for everything I hate
and feel what's wrong with society. The gay dude with the Billy Idol hair
doesn't work. Hate the I'm to cool for school chatter that comes from these
babbling idiots.
Shows on now...
Wait, what the fuck, shows not on till 830pm. Going to turn to the SciFi
channel and watch 30 minutes of "End of Days"
CONTINUE IF YOU DARE, APRES LE JUMP
8:50 P.M.
Didn't mind that
opening of "The Nominees". Pithy little vignettes by, I am assuming,
all the nominees.

Doing stand up routine and its okay. Wonder how much Bruce what's his name

Editot’s Note. At
this point I had gotten home from
Reno
911! Miami The Movie and the posts from John
Jay had dried up. I sent him a note: “don't give up! this is all gold-oscar
gold.” But no dice. Then, this morning:
8:41 A.M.
...841am
Told you I wouldn't make it to 1130.
WINNERS
Marty for the Departed-great entertaining film felt it lasted 30 minutes too
long. But damn entertaining and Leo and Jack were fabulous.
Marty for the Departed-see above
Forest
for Last King of Scotland-decent film and, from what I remember, not too big of a stretch for
Forest
's talent. Meaning it was the same
performance he always gives and I don't see what all the hoopla is about. But
good for him and I guess it is a far cry from his empath role in Species.
Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine-fantastic
Jennifer
hudson
for Dreamgirls-huh
Helen Mirren for The Queen-didnt see it heard she was fabulous. God she looks
good
