Okay - was Bjork's dress a real freaking dead swan? Like head and all? I couldn't see it all that well -- mainly because I was making fun of her sorry butt singing -- I can howl at the moon better than she can and no one's lining up to pay me big money -- of course I don't own a dead swan...or a dead anything for that matter...but I do have a couple in the pond here at work -- do you think a live one would give off the same impression?!
Also - Julia -- love her...love her....love her. She is not "It's all about me" like today's people are -- ie, Jennifer "What do you mean that not everyone wants to be me" Aniston...Brittany-See-My-Boobies....or J-Ho -- she is genuine and very loving of the people that surround her. In fact, did you guys hear, that there was a guy that worked for one of the big popular Hollywood scene limo service -- he drove Julia somewhere, and was so impressed by how sweet and nice she was, that he sent her a rose to say "Thanks" for treating him like a real person (by the way this same service said that Whitney Houston is the absolute WORST to drive because she is just nasty to them and to the people that work for the company) anyway -- the limo company fired the guy for sending her that rose and Julia found out about it and got his job back. Now that is just the nicest thing - she didn't have to do that - he was nothing to her, but she did because that's what makes her "America's Sweetheart" (not my phrase - just what everyone calls her).
Anyway - I didn't get to see too much of the Oscars and I hate I missed all the commercials that everyone (including the morning show on the radio) were b%&*@#$g about. But I love Billy Crystal, and he is just Mr. Oscar for me -- when he did that opening several years ago, where he sang all the titles of the movies up for best picture, and came out pulling that big oscar singing "Mr. Saturday Night", I thought I'd die - it was so funny! I like Steve Martin too, but he just isn't Mr. Oscar.
I have not seen Gladiator, Traffic, or Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon (or whatever it is) -- I am a huge animal lover, so my brother said not to see Gladiator (yes I know they don't hurt the animals, but I still hate movies that show that stuff!). I don't want to sit through sub-titles with the other two either. I just worry that it would be a big waste of time -- but its helpful to hear what you guys think. So far on Traffic, people have either absolutely loved it or hated it, depending on who you ask.
And I don't know much about Russel Crowe (and just CANNOT see why Meg left Dennis for him) he is just not handsome or sexy at all to me. I think he acted all stuck up like this whole affair was beneath him. Oh well. Like the rest of you, I didn't get my oscar this year either...LOL
