2007 Academy Awards Show (continued)
****LIVE BLOG**** 10:50 PM
RYAN: Oh Caroline, I’m sadly worried about the show tonight. It’s a little underwhelming on the entertainment factor. If this were a movie, we’d be saying, “Ok. Time to wrap it up.”
CAROLINE: No doubt. But I’m pleased about Al Gore’s win. You didn’t even bother to see “An Incovenient Truth” but it was really good.
10:51 PM
RYAN: Clint Eastwood just had a stroke on stage. There’s one every award show and I guess it was in the stars for Clinty tonight.
10:59 PM
CAROLINE: Oh God, there’s an old man onstage rambling in Italian. Can’t someone get the man a translator?
RYAN: The best part is watching the stars react. Did you see Kate Winslet’s look of utter confusion? I mean this moment is horrific and pure Oscar gold! I love it!
11:06 PM
CAROLINE: Ok, this telecast is supposed to end in 25 minutes and they haven’t even done the “Dreamgirls” medley yet, they have at least 5 more awards to go and Penelope Cruz still can’t speak English. This is getting ridonkulous.
RYAN: Hugh Jackman! He made the secret signal he promised he’d make for me. He’s my new boyfriend. Love you Jacks! You’re the fourth hottest man in the movies!!
11:11 PM
RYAN: Looks like Kirsten Dunst already heard she’s on everyone’s worst dressed list by the time she got out to present the Original Screenplay award. Why’s she sooo angered?
CAROLINE: Ugh, her dress is hideous. She has no one to be angry at but herself.
11:21 PM
CAROLINE: Finally, the “Dreamgirls” medley. I like both Beyoncé’s and J. Hud’s dresses better here than what they actually wore to the Oscars.
11:29 PM
RYAN: Congrats to the win for the gay woman who congratulated the woman to whom she is married! Amen! Now, about that “Dreamgirls” medley – I’ve never seen Beyoncé work so hard in her entire life!
CAROLINE: I know! She was popping veins whilst belting it out.
RYAN: One diva turn after the next. Those girls wailed and it was fabulous.
11:39 PM
RYAN: Why aren’t they cutting out this extra crap? Just give us the awards!
CAROLINE: Seriously. The show is already ten minutes over. Must we watch another montage?
11:48 PM
CAROLINE: Oh my God, it’s the dead people montage. This night is never going to end.
11:56 PM
RYAN: Sad. I look forward to emotion and tears during the acceptance speech of the winner for Best Actress. And the very British Helen Mirren was altogether way too poised.
CAROLINE: I can’t even talk about Helen until I address the travesty that is Philip Seymour Hoffman’s hair. Would it have killed him to shower?
RYAN: No.
CAROLINE: I’m embarrassed for Helen holding her purse during her acceptance speech. And she’s missing an earring.
12:01 AM
CAROLINE: Reese is stunning and skinny and her dress rocks.
RYAN: What do you expect? She’s back on the market.
12:04 AM
CAROLINE: Wow, who knew Forest Whitaker could successfully string a sentence together in an acceptance speech?
RYAN: I had to wait three and a half hours for this predictable moment? Even with his notes, he’s still no speaker.
12:15 AM
CAROLINE: I’m happy to see “The Departed” win, as well as Martin Scorsese. This was one of my two favorite movies of last year.
RYAN: When the golden trio of directors walked out to present Best Director, I knew then it had to be Marty. This was a long time coming and very sweet. Congrats to “The Departed!” Golf claps all around!
12:18 AM
RYAN: Shout out to our pals Jessica, Cosmo & Joshua B for your love tonight!
CAROLINE: You guys rock.

What is going ON? Is Clint Eastwood actually translating or just making shit up?
Jessica February 26, 2007
This is one of your bests posts, Ryaline. I cracked up at every line. Ennio was ad libbing a bit so Clint had no shot. I loved Ennio and especially when he started to cry. He reminds me of grandfather, may he rest in peace! And he wrote the song that I walked down to aisle to at my wedding (Ennio, not my grandfather).

Jennifer Lopez is wearing a Cleopatra costume

Hudson sounds great. It’s a good way for her to usher in the demise of her career.Who is Randy in the middle of these two??
Joshua February 26, 2007
Hmm does this mean we don’t get to see And I Am Telling You?

Lesbian kiss (Melissa Etheridge) on the Oscar’s should be on your top 5 list Josh
Joshua February 26, 2007
OMG I totally tivoed through the kiss. whoops.
Jessica February 26, 2007
Caroline will understand me when I say how gay for Melissa Etheridge I am. Let’s put it this way: At my wedding, I stopped everything and did a dance duet to a Melissa song with my best friend. We cleared the dance floor. Not in a good way.(I know I’ve made two references to my wedding whilst blogging but they weren’t gratuitious, and that’s it, I promise.)

Ok – who needs this time filler by Michael Mann? What the hell is this and why? Caroline I might have to go to bed now. Luckily for WeSeeMovies I will be updted in the morning.

Is Anna Nicole Smith going to be incuded in the remembrances of those who have passed?
Joshua February 26, 2007

I LOVE MR.SCORSESE – HE CRIES OVER EVERYTHING – For a superhero – he seems pretty human – my fingers are crossed fro him to bring home that damn oscar – he so deserved it 20 years ago.
jessica February 26, 2007
forest is such a weird dude. if anyone is interested, i am in a tie-break for first prize with one other person out of 25 right now, with just picture left! (We all picked scorcese so thats a wash). if i lose best pic, I think i still come in third!
Joshua February 26, 2007
Awwww… I thought Forest’s speech was touching.
Joshua February 26, 2007
Somebody in the booth told the voiceover chick to read the trivia more excitedly so now she’s yelling about Martin Scorcese entering the semenary. And it’s still not working.
jessica February 26, 2007
josh – that made me crack up.”IN A SEMINARY!!!!”i’m going to get serious for a moment and say that i love how a black actor winning best actor (or best supporting actress for that matter) is not even remarked upon anymore. that was not true a few years ago. we are living in historic times!
Joshua February 26, 2007
haha; yeah and woulnd’t it be nice if the gay ones didn’t have to pretend they weren’t.
Jessica February 26, 2007
yes, josh, agreed. barry diller (not at the oscars) and john travolta – come out.i tied for second place. not that exciting. i only won $40.50. first place won $500!

I don’t know how to say it… words fail me… this live blog is PURE GENIUS! I wish I was logged on mid-show. I would have been chiming in non-stop. I am forwarding a link to weseemovies to everyone I know. Truly, the highlight of my Oscar experience. Keep it up.Jenny M., Utah
