Yeah, I went against the odds predicting clout would loose to substance. Wishful thinking I suppose. George Clooney declared that Hollywood is his town and he made it stick. And IMNTBHO, Affleck has been looking a little embarrassed coming down the stretch here, while Clooney has been looking defiant. Is he ever gonna come out? Someone's gonna pay for not nominating Affleck for best director, letting Ang Lee win it for Life of Pi, further letting the cat out of the bag that it was receiving the real award for best pic by default. Everybody knows best director and best film are inseparable categories, or they should anyway.
BTW, that's gotta be the worst Academy Awards show ever. Everybody's timing was off and looked on edge--Jennifer Hudson excepted, who deserves an Oscar for proving the best revenge is living well. Almost all the humor was either nervous flat or over-the-top stupid--or both. Lavish sets but nothing worth showing. I mean the infantile song about boobs, Ted's near inflammatory routine, and trying to decide whether to turn the spotlight on Barbara Streisand or not, confirming it was indeed her there, begging the obvious question, why? And would somebody please give Charlize Theron a suppository so it could keep that bug company.
On a serious note, my favorite body/dress combo was Halle Berry's. No comment on her hair.
