Another year, another chick Super Bowl. Stream of consciousness thoughts on the Oscar festiviites:
Red Carpet commentator, Kathy Ireland Who dug her up? While her '80s Sports Illustrated calendars are impressive, and sure, that Kmart product line is like, awesome, her choice as a red carpet commentator? Somewhat vexing. Oh, and please don't write in and tell me how she was on Dancing with the Stars. A show that casts Kate Gosselin does not a credible '00s celeb make. Meanwhile, speaking of the time warp...That opening footage on ABC of 'classic' red carpet What was with that VHS-ish completely random feed of 90's-era celeb couples? I'm pretty sure last I checked Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford aren't together anymore. Weird and awkward, ABC. But on the other hand....
John Hughes Tribute Unexpected highlight of the night, for sure, even if Molly Ringwald looked terrified and Judd Nelson...oh, Judd Nelson. Someone give this guy a comeback movie, quick.'In Memoriam" montage Yes, yes, touching to have James Tayor sing along as we watch the long list of celebs who have passed, but don't they usually leave the biggest stars to the end...ya know, the grand finale of famous people deaths? Michael Jackson was lumped in like he was a random PR exec and did I miss it or did they really forget Farrah Fawcett?
Best Score Montage 10:50pm...probably not the best time to launch into your 5 hr interpretative dance/mime routine of all the best score nomineezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
