Betty White: the lovable old pain in the pass



also, let's not forget that this happened...

today's (un)shocking news: betty white ruled on SNL

just want to see some highlights? here are my two fave sketches and one awesome performance from jay-z (with an adorable betty white shout out at the end. seriously hova? i can hardly stand it.)

holy crap this woman is amazing.

got your tivo slash dvr slash vcr set?

YES!

your betty white dreams have come true

The glorious Ms. White will be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8th. The special Mother's Day episode also includes the return of many other fabulous former SNL ladies: Tina Fey (who will also be hosting an episode in April), Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch. Let's just hope they fully utilize her talents- myself, I'm hoping for a Samberg/White digital short.

Let's sit back and remember her fabulous SAG speech (which also makes me think, why the hell didn't we have Betty White do Sandra Bullock's introduction at the Oscars???)

on the 200th day of awards show season, the SAGs gave... yawn...

...sorry, i just fell asleep. Seriously, could I get at least a little drama in the different acting categories? I really thought the SAGs might be the place that Carey Mulligan or Colin Firth got honored. Although, actors do love to honor those long due. The only award that actually excited me was Glee winning best comedy ensemble. Other than that? Who was surprised by these winners?

• Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz have been the two sure things all along. now they're joined by, apparently, everyone else. And yes, in case you're wondering, Waltz continued his trend of overly rehearsed, thematic speeches, this one going off on "screen actors" versus "stage actors". can't wait to see how he fits "Oscar" into his speech. (Mo'Nique's was disappointingly boring at this event, after her incredible Golden Globe speech).
  
• Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey for comedy actors
• Michael C. Hall and Julianna Margulies for drama actors
• Mad Men for drama ensemble
• Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock. Both are fantastic in their roles and both deserve to be honored (even if I do believe that Colin Firth deserves it more).

I guess this is one of those cases where I'm not so much disappointed as I am bored. I feel like there is no drama in the acting categories going into the Oscars. Of course, the BAFTAs could potentially insert a little, as they do love to honor their own, which could give Mulligan a shot at an upset. But maybe we have all the drama we need in the Avatar vs. Hurt Locker/Cameron vs. Bigelow races.

The one thing that the SAGs did enforce is that everyone loves Betty White, and rightfully so, because, damn, that woman is rad. If you want to see the uber-charming intro by Sandy Bullock go here, but for the woman herself, check out her Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech below:

if they were really after my heart, they'd play flip cup, but I guess the world isn't perfect
