Chris Rock goes out to interview moviegoers at the Magic Johnson Theater. They've all seen White Chicks. And thought it was good. I'm afraid. Hold me.

Scarlett's presenting from a balcony? This isn't going to work for me unless she drops a chandelier on Robin Williams from up there. And yay, look ... technical people won Oscars. Who knew?

And now it's time for Costume Design, presented by a man now best known for a role in which he wears a tux. EDNA!!! HA. I'm happy now. :) Aw, poor Pierce and his lost voice. Ugh. If Troy wins, I have fits. And the Oscar goes to ... (Please say Edna, please say Edna ...) The Aviator! Yay! And her dress is all '40s-esque, too. Pretty. *g*

"He's boring us to death with his politics." *snerk* Well, at least he's got a sense of humor about it. And the Oscar goes to ... (Hee, Sophie Okonedo is having a blast ...) YAY! Cate Blanchett! Awww. "I hope my son will marry your daughter." That was cute. :)

Aw. Johnny Carson memorial. Miss Piggy! Hi, Miss Piggy! *waves*

And Leo comes out to present an award for Best Documentary. Supersize Me is so going to win this. (I still have to see that. *sigh*) And the award goes to ... Born into Brothels? Seriously? Well, that's pretty cool. Lady, don't bend over -- it's not doing nice things to your dress!

Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom come out to present an award for Film Editing. Can't I just stare at those two a while instead? What, they don't have the nominees just lying around on stage? And the award goes to ... The Aviator. Looks like The Aviator is sweeping tonight.

And now Mike Myers is onstage. Do you know how long it took me to figure out that he was actually in an Oscar-nominated movie this year? Because I'm Just. That. Dense. And okay, based on this performance, I wouldn't give Accidentally in Love an Oscar, and I like the song. Sheesh. Well, at least Adam Duritz changed into a less doofy suit.

I /loved/ that dress Edna was wearing. Delicious!

I couldn't believe Troy got nominated where Alexander didn't. Whatever else one has to say about Alexander, the sets had a degree of historical accuracy rarely seen. E.g., the purple and gold cape he wore is modeled on a real cloak taken from the royal graves in Macedonia. There were nods of that type all over the place. They even (correctly) had the royals wearing BLACK wool -- very minor, but absolutely correct detail. (Black die faded, and so, to have true black clothing meant one could afford the wool of young lambs, of which there was a great deal less.) Now, that ... thing ... on Angelina Jolie (including the Burger King crown) was total bullshit, but I understand (through the grapevine) that she refused to wear the (historically accurate) dress they'd originally planned because it "wasn't sexy." Anyway, can't believe Troy got nominated and not Alexander/ Only because the people doing the nominations are historical idiots.

(On Stone: hated his film, loved (most of) his sets. The Ishtar Gate for Babylon blew me away. Replica of the gate from U. of Chicago's historical model.)

Bloom, wash your hair or SOMETHING...

But platinum looks darling on Kirsten.

Yeah, that was a less than stellar performance of "Accidentally in Love".
Tsk, tsk.
