Live-Blogging the Oscars: Red Carpet
I would like to start by stating that I REALLY need to upgrade my 13-year old ghetto 27″ TV. We are at a friend’s house, watching the Oscars on a 57″ plasma, and it is spectacular.
Let’s start with the red carpet commentary from this party (10 people; 4 gay, 6 straight and 1 baby). Hey, it’s Oscar Sunday and it’s fabulous excuse to get together and be catty.
Why is Miley Cyrus at the Oscars? Hello, this is a day for movie stars. She’s a teeny bopper television star, a Nickelodeon creation.
Here are some quotes from the peanut gallery:
“I don’t understand the show-one-bony-shoulder dress thing.”
“I think I just saw a bone poke out. And I don’t mean from the front.”
“Helen Mirren is a GILF.”
“Woah. Gary Busey looks like Joan Rivers.”
“Her boobs look like two empty wallets.”
“What has Cameron Diaz done lately? Why is she there?”
“Tilda Swinton is Ziggy Stardust.”
“Christmas threw up on Daniel Day-Lewis’ wife.”
“Is Viggo in a Civil War movie or something?”
[Side note: We're drinking every time the cameras show Cameron Diaz or Miley Cyrus...which is far too often.]
We have deemed this the Year of the Bony Shoulder and Red Dress.
And now, on to the show…
