"For those of you scoring at home, that's Martin Scorsese zero Oscars, Three 6 Mafia one"
- Jon Stewart
Yep, how pimpin' is that? It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp won for original best song. It's certainly original all right. And I don't think anybody thought that it would win! And audience members seemed shocked and surprised too! I thought it was really funny! Three 6 Mafia just came off the stage after their performance, so when they accepted their prize, they were in their jeans etc., but at least there was still bling around their necks! LOL.
And apparently, the Academy Awards ended 1/2 hour early?? What's with that?? Oh well, it just meant I could go out for dinner a half-hour earlier.
My fave was Reese Witherspoon's speech. She was so happy and giddy - that's how you accept a prize, and none of that monotonous slow-paced speech. Her dress was beautiful too. One thing about Reese Witherspoon is that she is very sweet and charming - it's hard not to like her!
Eric Bana was hot! (drool)
I liked Zhang Ziyi's dress - the skirt part of the dress had embroidered Swarovski crystals all over it - so sparkly and pretty.
Michelle Williams looked gorgeous, as did Heath Ledger. I loved her whole ensemble, and Heath, as usual, looked great!
I was disappointed there were no daring dresses or outfits, unless you count Ben Stiller in his green leotard - how hilarious was that? I just love that guy!
Crash won for best picture??? I was rooting for Brokeback Mountain. It's such a good story! At least they won for best adapted screenplay, and best director! I haven't seen Crash though, so I guess I'm not a good judge since I can't compare them!
Oh well, that's it for my Hollywood gossip column!

Well there were only 3 songs this year to chose from instead of the usual 5 so some crap had to win. What was sad was how bad it was live... i heard in the movie it was much better and relavent to the storyline. As for the awards ending early i thought it was a 3 hour telecast and ended 30 min late. Whatever. My favourite speeches came from Clooney, who recoginzed how hollywood is with the time and evolves faster than the rest of the country with their issues on civil rights, homosexuals, etc. Also, i liked Ang Lee mentioning that love comes in all forms and should be appreciated and accepted in society. Good for him. I perfer Eric Bana when he turns green... haha he's sexier as the HULK
As for best picture Crash I saw and it was the best. The actors in it were outstanding as every character is interesting and has some sort of racial bias/flaws and it crates a solid story with great dialogue amongst these characters. I was dissapointed Matt Dillon didnt win as he was outstanding as the Cop. All of these characters are flawed but deep inside you realize they all have some good in them and that is why i love this picture so much. Great realistic dialogue. l8r datrash
