I thought the fashion was particularly compelling this year. Of course, some was compelling me to throw up, like Mickey Rourke’s get up. Yeah, Ann, what was up with the tooth? I think that is taking the role a little too seriously – like he had his tooth knocked out while wrestling and the only replacement available was something metal. . .

Otherwise, many beautiful dresses and tasteful hairstyles. Much classier than most years.

Just my OP of course.

And let me add another shout-out to Make Do Style about the Slumdog Millionaire comment.

But I do salute his current comeback. It’ll be interesting to see into what kind of a piece-of-shit movie he will sell his ass next time.

It’s probably because I have been watching movies about ageing men, such as Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino, but I must confess that I almost liked The Wrestler. I’ve seen it three times now and I don’t think the director could have found a better has-been to do the role than Mickey Rourke. It’s not a great movie by any standards, but it probably is the first MR movie, since Rumblefish I don’t hate. They show 9 & 1/2 weeks every now and then on TV, but every time the ice cubes and scarfs come on I must change the channel. I don’t even know which one of the two eighties blondes he played with in that one.

His chichuahua just died. Shouldn’t that count for a pity Oscar? Then again, Heath Something just died too.

He’s probably too ugly to win anyway. When both mama and papa Brangelina are nominated in each their own categories, the competition is a bit unfair. A family Oscar is too cute to miss. And who do we want to see on the magazine covers and Happy Meal trays for the next year anway? Plastic Mickey? I don’t think so…

I don’t know what’s worse the lips or the fact Slumdog millionaire might win best picture.

Can’t wait for your take!

Angelina Jolie… is a freak. Her and her travelling freak show of collectable kids – travelling from one photo op to another the world over. Is it just me or is that pack losing it’s luster?
