Oscars 2009 - no awards at all.. But "The musical is back"

We are back with Sky, Beacham is in grumpy, maybe drunk, mode. She hates the amateur intimate nature of the ceremony. She is angry. Don't mess with Beecham. She'll strangle you with her pearls...

We are back at the theatre. Hugh reckons change has come... not Obama but Mamma Mia outselling Titanic in the Uk. Musicals are back. He says he cannot wait for Doubt the Musical (nuns. They've worked before).

So. Now we have a big fancy odd number. Hugh Jackman doing a bit of Fred Astaire. With Beyonce. The cheorography is pure MGM. Loving it despite the fact that it's a big clumsy compilation and it really actually doesn't work! Actually they have moved to Grease. I feel less good about liking this now! They are having fun with the combination of tracks, but they really aren't weaved together. It's a shame. I love musicals but if only they had stuck to well done and classy. Cripes. Zak Ephron has appeared scarily from nowhere. With the Mamma Mia folk. Mamma Mia is the theme tonight a bit. I supposse it is the major seller of the year but not Oscarable. We have military drummers joining in Mamma Mia (the song). Odd. It's a bit like a really really really well funded stage school car crash! What a waste of top hats and sequins! Cute to end on "The Musical is Back!" though! Crist. Who do we blame? Baz Lurhman.
