This year, I’m asking you to go here to read the all-important Academy Awards Exegesis™, and then come back to leave comments, if you have any. I know it’s a couple of extra clicks and I apologize. I’ll try to make it up to you.
But before you go, let’s just reflect on the Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper imbroglio if we may. If you’re anything like me, and you are, you were moaning in agony throughout their performance. And I do mean performance. Personally, I kept muttering “Barf,” a word I haven’t used since middle school. But what else is there to say when confronted with such egregious grandiosity, not to mention over-the-top bad acting? Jesus Christ, why???
Now the internet is all ARE THEY REALLY IN LOVE??? and IS HE BREAKING UP WITH WHATSHERNAME?
If only he wasn’t gay.
Okay for now. Thoughts? Things I left out?
I so agree with most of what you said, and the rest I have no opinion on because I have no expertise (ie. what’s a good dress). Gaga was gag inducing. Her speech started out with a I worked so hard shit (yea, to make $100 million+ dollars) but she tried to save it by adding we all must work hard for our dreams (duh?). I agree about Yalitza Aparicio, a better actor or actress this year there was none. She was beyond amazing..I laughed with her, cried with her and couldn’t take my eyes off her. But I do have a question for the fashion expert. I love Emilia Clarke, and I think she is pretty real and humble (as per her late night appearances). What about her dress? Don’t know if I can post a pic here. It was nice but had this gap thing jutting out in front of her breasts and left breastplate. Was it a tease as in “Hey, look down here?” or some esoteric fashion thing. Please help because I’d hate for her to have done something pompous.
Tom Isenberg – It is an awful dress, thank you for reminding me. My guests on Oscars night also commented on the dress, saying something like “What the fuck?” It’s by Balmain, whose shit is a favorite with the Kardashians. When you look at that dress close up, it looks like bubble wrap. Good call, Tom!
Thanks, Sister Wolf. Yea, I was kinda shocked. She didn’t seem like the kind of woman to wear something that drew attention to her breasts, albeit double covered up with that flap thing. The flap thing seemed so superfluous and needlessly attention grabbing. Love my Khalesi.
In a World full of uncertainties i love the fact that I can have my Dose of Gaga hate her. She is annoying. So annoying. I hope you never get tired of pointing that out.
I enjoyed every bit as usual!
The Gaga spray tan….you missed that….and the stupid come hither at the end of the song…..yuck!
Welll let me think….hated, hated that pink multilayer tuile concoction the singer wore ; hated Maya Rudolph’s upholstered look and her antics;upholstered Glenn Close; Charlize looked wooden, with all the Dior to choose from, why that monstrosity? Why can’t someone make Amy Adams look like a grown up instead of a college co-ed? Ill fitting tuxes etc on the men. My favorite? JLo. Yes, I said it…
Again, all just perfect. Do write more. XO
