Oscar Telecast - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 02-24-2009

One of us attended. Sort of. Okay the Queen was in the special room next door, but the stars did parade before her.

I'm thinking the Queen is stepping out on me.

Gee, can you tell that all of those pictures were taken around midnight after working like dogs since 2 PM?

I don't think HK visits us here any more so if anyone's in touch with him, let him know I'd be happy to share the transcript of the Andrew Stanton (Wall-E) and Kunio Kato (La Maison En Petits Cubes) interviews.

Yay! Any good dirt, Oh, Queen?

Hey! Why is the "Girls Gone Wild" guy flashing double peace-signs in one of the photos?

Re: Oscar Telecast - The Queen - 02-24-2009

No dirt at all this year. No one was drunk or falling all over the place for a change. The writer for Milk (Dustin Lance Black) got a little political and emotional, but other than that, it was very tame. Sean Penn started to get a little angry at a guy who asked an assinine question, but then checked himself and just answered it very well. (The guy asked about a protest sign outside the Kodak that said "Heath is in hell," and after snarling, "I don't know what that means," he took a breath and just said, "I think if we get used to dismissing these comments rather than commenting on them, we'll be better off. It's meanlingless gibberish.")

I got very close to Penelope Cruz and I have to say, she is even better looking in person than she is on camera.

Re the crazy guy in the picture -- just some guy at the bar. One of the many men that were hitting on every woman at the Press Room after party (mostly staff, as most of the actual press managed to get to other, better parties). No idea who he is. The guy hugging me above is Gary the sound man (no idea of his last name).

Quote:GWYNETH PALTROW - OSCAR BRINGS BACK BAD MEMORIES FOR PALTROW

GWYNETH PALTROW hides her OSCAR statuette away because it evokes both embarrassing and traumatic memories.

The SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW star, who won the Best Actress ACADEMY AWARD in 1999 for her performance in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, famously broke down in tears onstage during her acceptance speech, much to the mirth of many commentators.

But rather than snub the criticism and proudly display her achievement, she keeps it well out of sight.

The 32-year-old says, "I keep it tucked away at the back of the bookshelf in my bedroom because it weirds me out. For weeks after I won I kept it in storage... I won't even put it on the mantlepiece, the thing freaks me out.

"For some reason, I haven't been able to feel really good about it. I just feel sort of embarrassed and it brings up weird, traumatic feelings. It's associated with a tough time in my life."

Didn't taunt her at all! As I recall, she was in a pissy mood after her interview because the press wasn't asking her about her performance, they were bugging her about her relationship with Ben Affleck, and then she couldn't escape them and get back downstairs to get to either the Governor's Ball or to meet up with her people right away because the elevator at the Dorothy Chandler was broken. So whomever was escorting her had her come into the tiny little room they had me stashed in to edit and print the interviews so that she could get away from the obnoxious press while they cleared the staircase for her so she could escape. All I remember is looking up and seeing a lot of pink (that was some dress), realizing it was her and then saying something like, "oh, hey, you won, good, you really deserved it" and her bursting into tears again. I just kept typing. So her bad memories can't have anything to do with moi. Confused

hock:

oh just confess - Drunk Monk - 02-27-2009

it was your tormenting mirth that drove poor gwyneth into the arms of joaquin, where she transferred her heartbreak to him, forcing him to meltdown on letterman and be the brunt of stiller's satire. it's you, all YOU, messing with the oscars.

mean queen.

Re: Oscar Telecast - The Queen - 02-27-2009

Wow, hadn't realized just how powerful I was. Cool. :axe:

any woman who can hang with DOOM is powerful - Drunk Monk - 02-27-2009

why else would we call you the queen?

but lay off of poor gwyneth.

so.... who'd you make cry this year? dish, queen, dish. you certainly got us envious with proximity to penelope.

Re: Oscar Telecast - The Queen - 02-28-2009

It was a distinctly non-weepy year - the only weeper was Dustin Lance Black (original screenplay for Milk). And he wasn't really weepy, just a little choked up when he talked about Harvey giving him his story.

that's a major buzzkill next to penelope... - Drunk Monk - 03-02-2009

...were either of them wearing fishnets?
