shadowkatWhy in the heck are they having Kirk Douglas presenting the Supporting Actress Oscar? Although he is admittedly adorable. And everyone is so star-struck. Loved his line - "I was up for this and never won."
I can't decide if Melissa Leo is more shocked that she won the Oscar or that Kirk Douglas handed it to her. Can see why she's shocked - they were predicting she'd lost it due to her unauthorized, self-financed publicity campaign for it - because the studio wouldn't do it.
Melissa Leo is a favorite actress of mine. Ever since her years on Homicide Life on the Street. This is an actress who doesn't mind how she looks on screen and has no vanity. Also disappears into every role.
Don't believe me? Rent Homicide, then Frozen River, and then The Fighter. A hard-working character actress who has done indie films, low-financed films, and no mainstream big films.
Anyhow.. very happy about that one. Wanted her to win for Frozen River.
So far, two for three on my predictions. Apparently Alice got the best art direction.
(When she keeps saying people aren't in the room - in her speech? There's a bar in the lobby that they all go to, also a lot of them are presenters. But I'm guessing they are at the bar.)
Other than that...this is sort of boring. Oh, Mila Kunis looks like she's falling out of her dress.
Wonder if they'll cut away if she does, the same way they muted Leo's exclamation of this is "fucking amazing". People the F word isn't THAT bad. I'm tempted sometimes just to do an entire post like George Carlin did a routine on curse words.
Apparently was off on short animated - it was The Lost Thing that I haven't seen but the clip was admittedly cool - the best by far, so well deserving. (Oh, I want to see the Illusionist). OF course Toy Story 3 won best animated. No surprise there. Hmmm, wonder if it will win again for Adapted Screenplay? The last Toy Story to win in that category was the first one, which by the way was Joss Whedon's Oscar, since he was one of the writers for Toy Story (the first one).
An aside are cardboard/plastic milk cartons considered paper recyclying?
