Oscars tonight

I'm finishing off the Cheerios now! I thought Cameron was lookin' like her cute self too. Hey, has Johnny Depp or Drew Barrymore been seen by anyone? or Reese? Gwyneth and Nicole were stunning and statuesque as usual.

I saw Reese.....similar hair to Golden Globes...dark purple, strapless dress with soft ruffles on the skirt. She looked good, but not my fav. I am amazed at how thin the actresses are. Since the camera is supposed to add pounds, can you imagine how thin they are in person?????

I'm thinking about stretching myself ala Bobby Brady Maybe that's their secret!

I think Reese was on of my favorites.


Yea! for Jennifer Hudson!!!!!:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Jodie Foster looking great.

I loved her haircut, but really wanted to push that one piece out of her eye.

I think Reese was the best dressed, bar none. And thank God Jennifer Hudson took off the jacket for her win. :clap_1:

agreed. Reese looked quite elegant, but she always does.

I liked the red sparkly number she wore in her singing number though I was afraid for a minute that she was going to fall out of it.

Helen Mirrin looked impossibly elegant in her gown, and Gywneth Paltrow's gown was beautiful too. And did you notice how her lipstick matched perfectly? I wish I had those drop earrings Anne Hathaway wore!

Forrest Whitaker's acceptance speech was very touching. All in all, a very entertaining evening. I didn't even mind Ellen, who does nothing for me. She made Merman and me laugh a few times.

Agree about Gwynneth's gown, she was gorgeous, as was Reese, but I think my favorite was Penelope Cruz's dusty pink number--stunning, and her lipstick sort of matched, as well. Is long straight hair the trend these days?

I was a bit surprised that The Departed won Best Picture, but gratified that Scorsese won for Best Director, because he deserved it for his body of work, and even if I wasn't crazy about the writing for The Departed, the acting was certainly a credit to Marty.

I had thought that The Queen or Letters From Iwo Jima would win Best Picture (I haven't seen either, but really want to.) I liked Little Miss Sunshine but comedies don't win BP too often, and IMHO Little Miss Sunshine, though I did love it, isn't quite on the same level as, say, Shakespeare In Love, a comedy that did win its year.I liked the international/diverse flavor of the evening (must see Pan's Labyrinth, but it'll have to be a Netflix for me.)

Ellen Degeneres didn't wow me, but she did okay. I liked her little mini-interviews.

I loved Al Gore's almost-announcement. ;-)

I don't think too much of Penelope Cruz, but I liked her gown, too.

Penelope was the most stunning, IMO. Al and Leo cracked me up. and I really liked Ellen - she looked prettier than I've ever seen her.

did you see Meryl Streep? she looked like she was wearing her housecoat! but she can get away with anything. she was still hot.

i must add that reese's hair looked great grown out. very gripable;-)

I thought the same, that her makeup was very feminine and pretty. But what's the deal with those god-awful clodhopper shoes she wears? Are ugly shoes a trademark of hers? (Can you guess I liked Jennifer Hudson's Manolos much better. ;-) )

reese was gorgeous.

wait johnr. gripable? is this why guys love long hair on women? tee hee.

she doesn't dress well from head to toe - that's her trademark! but her hair and make up were really nice.

jennifer was just adorable.

ok people, i will be the debbie downer here - we watched the last 1 1/2 hrs and i think this could possibly be the most godawful boring oscars i have seen in years. ellen was soooo boring from what i saw, there were no racy gowns, no controversies, ho hummmmmmm.......

i thought queen latifah looked really nice. sorry, i think reese looks like a ferret with her pinched little face (just my opinion, i know everyone else likes her). thank god martin scorsese won so everybody will quit whining about him...what's up with a bald jack nicholson ? leo looked particularly hot, as did marky mark.

and my big question of the evening? how much money was represented on the stage when george lucas, frances ford coppola and steven spielberg all were presenting together ??? i suspect more than i can imagine - and i can imagine a lot !

reporters and radio people are predicting jerry seinfeld will be hosting next year - you know what would be great ? george carlin hosting the oscars....wow :shock: that would be a night to remember...

audie, you have a good point! even though I enjoyed the show as much as any other time. let's face it. the red carpet show leading up to the oscar's is always more interesting than the actual show. the oscar's is always too long and rather boring, IMO. I still enjoy some parts though.

Mark Wahlburg - my new boyfriend.

Queen Latiffa is always a hottie.

I kinda liked Jack's new look.

but, I'm telling you the hottest person there, IMO, was Diane Keaton! she is just so gorgeous!

you are so right about diane - she looks wonderful - i wonder what her secret is ? i look worse than her and i'm probably 20 years younger....
i was disappointed that eddie murphy got passed on, it would have been sweet vindication for him after the beating he takes for his movies and personal life.

i must add that reese's hair looked great grown out. very gripable;-)

Extensions, my friend.
She looked gorgeous.

I didn't watch the Oscars. I don't care to much for them. But I do love Diane Keaton, she and Meryl Streep are my most favorite female actors. Tootsie, have you seen "Somethings Gotta Give". Diane was fantastic in this movie and so was Jack Nicholson. It is one my favorites. If any of you have not seen it, it is very good. IMHO.

Where was Brad
I loved Rachel W's dress!
I thought Jennifer Hudson did come out of her red dress, it looked like she adjusted herself when she turned to the right side. Nothing was stopping her, not even her dress!
Marky Mark!

yes, I've seen it. and Family Stone - loved it. and I'll see any and every movie she's in... even the recent one (Because I said So) and I hear its not that great, but still gotta see it!
