The Short Doc winners are scaring me. The producer guy is just strange, and giving a lousy thankathon. Send the music! Better: they cut their microphone. Rock busts with a John Kerry joke. That’s low.

Carlos Santana on guitar, Antonio Banderas on vocals. I am predisposed to like this. Ooh, motorcycle on the stage. Santana looks rather like Che. Mike says Santana is “showing up the singer” with his guitar work. I agree. I think I still like the French song best. Mike says he likes Charo’s guitar-playing better. He’s […]

Rock brings out the biggest men I have ever seen. He introduces Cruz and Hayek as the “next four presenters.” Naughty boy. But it disproves something I thought: These women are not the same person. They’re just clones. At least the sound mixing winners get to be all the way up on stage. Ray wins. […]

Best Cinematography: House of Flying Dagges wuz robbed! And probably the Passion, too. The cinematographer for “A Very Long Engagement” was nominated too. He made Audrey Tatou look cute. I’m not impressed. The winner just thanked the medical staff who are keeping his mom alive. Um, in this context, I don’t care.

Jeremy Irons, introduced as a “comic genius” by Rock, is introducing best short film nominees. Again they’re in the audience. Poor winners. Winner described her award as “the dog’s bollocks.” That’s good, I think. Laura Linney: not looking so good. Introducing best animated short. No clips, darnit! “Ryan” wins! Woo! And the creator was a […]

Why is there a monkey on the piano? TLO says Beyonce’s makeup (changed twice already tonight) isn’t good in this iteration. I think the conductor just gave the bird to the audience.

The star of “Phantom of the Opera” is the tallest, skinniest woman I have ever seen. No joke. Hey, Mr. Lloyd-Webber is playing piano. Beyonce is again singing very credibly, but is wearing a chandelier around her neck. I still like the French song best so far. Ooh. A fake Phantom. Mike thinks the necklace […]

The president of AMPAS: “Tabernacle of Talent”? Ugh. On the other hand, he’s making everyone in the audience suck it up and applaud the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s good for actors to do this. Al Pacino needs to shave. He’s introducing a lifetime achievement award for Sidney Lumet…Johnny Depp is wearing a strange tuxedo to […]

Mike proposes “House of Flying Daggers” should win “best weaponry.” I’m there. Spiderman 2 wins for Visual Effects.

Sideways wins for best adapted screenplay…and there’s Sandra Ohs! Oh! One of the writers was married to Ohs. I apologize for that “Oh.”
