It's beginning! It's beginning! Yay!!!!!!
Wow the staging is bling a ding diamnote dong!
Hugh Jackman is on. Looking tall and tan and attractively random. Still not quite sure why he's hosting this year but he's a charming chappie. He's doing the obligatory toe curling waving at the crowd... Hugh's little nationalities joke about Australia is quite cute. Everything is downsized due to the recession. Next year he'll be in the film New Zealand ;) Go go script writers.
So.. It's a class credit crunchy musical number. With cardboard props. In that sexy expensive Michel Gondry style. It's a musical number based on the nominees of course. Hugh is doing a good job actually so far. Although his tan and suit and such is strangely reminiscent of William Shatner circa 76. Wow! Phallic tastic Tripic Thunder props! IT is cute to get a stage actor to do a no frills number. Anne Hathaway has been accidentally on purpose co-opted on. Anne as Nixon. Cute. Anne is showing off that yes people, she ia available for musicals. Thank you. I think the undertone is that Frost/Nixon is a porny cheesy romance. Hmm... odd. And crazy silver dancers (as if from Eurobeat) are mime dancing The Reader. Now The Wrestler. Home props include barbed wire and a standard lamp. And fold out Oscars! Clearly the boys films are the focus this year.
However. Quite possibly best. opening. ever.
Classy and cheapie. Hugh Jackman is almost scarily Vegas and lady friendly. Although Hugh's little lap hopping onto Frank Langella is rather fun. Nice joke: 7 second delay but for Mickey will be a 20 minute delay if he wins. Cute. Again Hugh is pimping round the audience. Meryl looks pained. Likes his 15 noms steroids joke. Weirdly it's a little Best Actress clip show. And the video intros to the clipshows are a bit, well, classic cheesy. Oh no. It's actually the film that's cheesy. But it's introducing some seriously rockin ladies: Eva Marie Saint, Whoopi Goldberg, Tilda Swinton, Goldie Hawn and Angelia Huston. Tilda rules them like a sexy couture queen! It's a bit we are the ghosts of Oscars past but hey, nice idea to make folks work for their previously received statuettes! And tears already. I love the pairings btw: Eva Marie Saint = Viola Davies; Angelia Huston = Penelope Cruz; Whoppie Goldberg = Amy Adams (it's a nun thing); Goldie Hawn = Taraji P Henson; Marisa Tomei = Tilda Swinton.
WINNER?! Penelope Cruz!!!
AWESOMENESS!! Je suis insanely delighted!
Penelope has 45 seconds and she's very very very thrilled! fabulous! Lovely wee speech btw. She wrote one, she's showing her classy european roots. Charming and touching and not painfully blubby. She is talking about art. Penelope we love you! Everyone from Spain shares her award according to my live translator!
