Joan & Melissa's Oscar Wrap Up 2009: Part One




Joan: Well, Melissa... Oscar 2009 is over and done. So ends our much-anticipated award season — with a whimper. Last night could have possibly ruined careers. As much as I love Hugh Jackman... He needs to simmer down, now. He was entirely too giddy and rambunctious. No amount of looking hot could diminish the d-chills that ensued. Aside from three very funny comic moments, the entire show was a waste of time. Those three moments: Ben Stiller’s hilarious turn as Joaquin Phoenix, Tina Fey and Steve Martin bantering about scripts, and the Pineapple Express digital video.

Melissa: Oof... i was frozen from all the d-chills that ensued through most of the show. the horrible lip-syncing during the baz number... no excuse for any of those performers to lip sync. not like we're listening to asslee simpson here. cut down on the horrid dance shit and let these people sing, if you must. i can do without all that shit but if they need to put it in there, then cut out the freakin awful dance productions. and the ridiculously looooong odes to the supporting actress/actor, best actress/actor nominees made me want to punch myself in the head till i passed out.

Joan: Agreed. The new format was awful. While it was a nice gesture to have winners from the past present to the new winners... It was too long, in an already long broadcast. I did like how they managed to make the Kodak look small and intimate with the set design. That may have been all I liked about the show format. They need an overhaul: present the top awards and no other. Leave the technical stuff (art direction, cinematography, etc) to the tech Oscars. That will cut the broadcast down significantly. It’s cruel to let us sit thru that much... Was it just me? Or did Baz Lurhman look embarrassed when they shot to him in the audience after that hideous number? It was as painful, probably more so, than Moulin Rouge. (Yes, I know you liked that movie...)

Melissa: I'm actually surprised i liked moulin rouge cause i haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate musicals and song and dance numbers. anyhoo, brad and angelina brought the douche ten-fold as they practically snubbed ryan again. doucheface john mayer was there with aniston. oooh, and how AWKWARD was it for jen aniston to present in front of brangie who were placed smack-dab in the middle of the front row as if they were the freakin' king and queen. barf.

Joan: I was on pins and needles the whole time. You could see her nervousness. Felt so bad for the girl. But good for her, to have the guts to get up there. I am sick to death of Brangelina getting treated like Hollywood royalty. And they’re totally acting like they should be drenched in crown jewels... The way they walked the red carpet w/o even bothering to talk to anyone for more than 2 seconds really made me sick. Then the way they sat there all night, w/sticks up their bums... Ugh. Be-low me.

Stay tuned for Part Two...
Including Best and Worst Dressed
