shadowkatAfter dozing most of the day and doing little outside of making muffins, reading This Supreme Court Amicus (which gave me a headache), and watching television. I kind of crashed this weekend. I did clean the kitchen a little bit? And I painted a little bit.
Now watching the Oscars.
Me: Damn, Goldie Hawn looks awful.
Wales: Well, she is older, age comes for us all.
Me: No. It's Botox. And too much sun. She can barely move her face. And that dress is falling off her. (Seriously you can look amazing in your 70s and 80s, see Helen Mirren and Judi Dench, and Meryl Streep, who aren't abusing Botos). In stark contrast - the actress who played Thelma looks amazing, and lovely in her dress. And she's much older.
It's amusing because Hawn starred in Death Becomes Her with Merly Streep, but apparently only Meryl figured it out.
I think I'm going to get tickets to the preview performances of SMASH. Either grab Friday, or a Thursday ticket.
Now, Halle Berry looks amazing. And Doja Cat has a beautiful gown made of diamonds or so it appears.
I'm happy - Flow won best animated film. If you haven't seen it - and can? Do. It's beautiful. And the first win ever for Latvia. (I thought it was France).
Also? Conclave (best adapted screenplay) Anora (best original screenplay) and Kierkin Culkin (best supporting), with Wicked picking up (costume design - and in an Oscar first? The first Black costume designer to win ever) and Substance (makeup and hairstyling). Oh Lovely, Zoe Saladane won for best supporting actress - I really wanted her to win for Emile Perez, she was the reason that film worked. When she was on screen - I forgot everyone else.
The comedy is still horrible - but what do you expect?
They did make a good point - this is more of a celebration of film, and provides recognition to the crew and the folks behind films that we never see, and get very little recognition. (Makeup, Cinematography, Hairstyle, Animation, Producing, Screenwriting, Sound Editing, Score, Original Song, Film Editing, etc.).
ETA: this is an odd Oscars? No original song presentations - instead they just did an explanation of each one, and this very odd Bond number that drug a bit. Also Mick Jaggar looked perplexed by the win - it was El Mal from Emile Perez. The New Yorker staff who were commenting on it - appear to be bored by it. ETAA: They weren't entirely wrong? It was boring. But then all awards ceremonies tend to be boring and highly subjective, which begs the question - why do I bother watching them or anyone for that matter?
