My Take on the Oscars

Here's my take...

• ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
  
  
• Did anyone under the age of 60 notice or care that Barbra Wa Wa is giving up her Pre-Oscar interview show?
  
  
• What was up with all of those one strap dresses from the Vera Wang's Andre the Giant collection?
  
  
• Mrs. Avenger had to remind me that we were watching the Oscars and not a live action remake of the Flintstone's.
  
  
• Monique is the new Oprah.
  
  
• Avatar almost became the first remake of an Oscar winning film (Dances with Wolves) to win its own Oscar.
  
  
• Found it odd that three suicides (Michael Jackson, Brittany Murphy, David Carradine) made it into the "In Memoriam" section of the show but two actresses who died of natural causes Bea Arthur (Mame) and Farrah Fawcett (Dr. T and the Women and The Apostole) did not.
  
  
• Why not combine the Oscars and Tony's and limit our national nightmares to one night?
  
  
• With Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren canceling each other out Sandra Bullock waltzed her way to a best actress win.
  
  
• Kudos to Sandra Bullock for winning both the Best Actress (Oscar) and Worst Actress (Razzie) in the same weekend.  Maybe now Jessie James can stop moonlighting as reality T.V. bitch.
  
  
• Three things were missing from Jeff Bridges acceptance speech; shorts, flip flops and a white russian.
  
  
• Look for my movie "Bear Based on the novel Nerd by Blurb" to become an early favorite for the 2012 Oscars.
  
  
• Surprised to learn that the Hurt Locker was about the Iraq War and not a posthumous John Hughes Film set in a suburban Chicago high.
