Oscars 2013

[Sciencewoman]

I loved my fellow Gamma Phi Kristin Chenoweth. I don't enjoy watching most of the suck-up entertainment reporters...I'd much rather watch a "peer" interview a "peer."

I texted my daughter when Kristin was interviewing Pi Phi Jennifer Garner -- "my sister is interviewing your sister!"

Just saw the "We Saw Your Boobs" clip. Meh...much ado about nothing. All of the clips of the stars looking chagrined are stock footage and part of the joke. None of them are wearing their dresses from the night of the Oscars. It wouldn't have been as funny if they'd all been cracking up. I'm not a Seth McFarlane fan, but part of the Oscars is making fun of the stars as they go on stage to pat each other on the back for making millions of dollars. This was pointedly making fun of actresses for going topless in film, which IMHO, is fair game.

Seth doesn't perform my style of comedy. His voice has a timbre my ear associates with an 'unseen announcer' style like the unseen female voice on Oscars that tells us, "this is so-and-so's third nomination and first win in this category".

And Seth's mic should not have constantly picked up his paltry, forced applause which came across so loud it sometimes seemed he was the only person clapping.

Thank you! I'm not the only one that thought Halle Berry looked smokin' hot! No one else there could have worn that, but it was perfect for her. When she came out on stage, I said, "Wooooow!" Everyone else I know hated it.

Outdoors on the red carpet her outfit looked more zebra-y (the lighter stripe in particular) and I thought yuck, but under the stagelights it was divine.

Tina Fey came out and said she would never host the Oscars--too many dresses and too much pressure, especially for a woman. Seth also said he'd never do it again

OMG...you are so right!

Team Coco for next year! In addition to being hilarious, I feel like a Conan or Colbert would get people watching the Oscars who don't usually tune in.
