honestly, not sure this even deserves a post...

because I could not have been less interested in the MTV Movie Awards last night. Any time that Twilight wins everything (including, most offensively, ACTING awards), I feel unable to relate to or care about the results (and, keep in mind, I'm the 3pies4rolls-er who dislikes the twilight phenomenon the least)

a few other observations:
  • Sandra Bullock is fabulous. And amazing looking. Welcome back, Sandy! (and i also don't hate that you and ryan reynolds are reuniting for more rom-com magic)
  • Christina Aguilera, what happened to you? I couldn't decide if you were trying harder to be Gwen Stefani, Pink, or Gaga. All I know is that I could have lived without the glowing heart vaginas
  • Les Grossman is funny in small amounts. a full dance number is unnecessary (frankly, I think I enjoyed Ed Helms performance of the Hangover song much more). and, despite the unexpected goodwill the Grossman character has earned Cruise, watching him present as himself at the end of the night still made me throw up a bit in my mouth.
  • Kristen Stewart, if you are going to claim to hate all the attention you get and actually have the insensitivity to say that looking at paparazzi photos of yourself is like looking "at someone being raped" (true story. and yes, she apologized, but you've gotta be fucking kidding me), and make a huge deal out of how obnoxious it is that people keep asking if you and robert pattinson are dating, then perhaps you shouldn't play into it all and stir it up with your best kiss acceptance. Really, I don't give a shit whether you two are dating. But I'm tired of my entertainment magazines wasting space on it. So please, stop yelling at them for it and then encouraging it. Thanks, Jessica.
  • frankly, I think this was my favorite part of the night:

Anyone else miss Hugh Jackman?

Oh, Oscar Day. How I hate when you are over. 364 days until the next one. sigh. Of course, you do make it slightly easier when you are like last night. Because, while I was happy with the winners (although my dream of a Colin Firth upset went unrealized), the show itself was so bleh. (See a story or list of the winners)

Let's start with the opening. Frankly, all I got out of it was why is NPH not hosting this show? Because his opening number was the best "host" type thing of the night. Baldwin and Martin? All my fears from the original announcement of you guys as hosts came true. Boring, not very funny, and the pace of the show ground to a halt whenever you were onstage. Your opening shtick went on about 15 people longer than it should have (the first 2 or so minutes are glorious NPH time, the rest, well...):



Then you did that weird dance thing for the nominees for Best Score. Did you really think that would engage people more than the Best Song performances you eliminated? Because, if so, you should not be producing awards shows. Further evidence in that you gave about 4 minutes to horror movies (which basically reminded us why horror movies aren't well represented at the Oscars (and, by the way, the Twilight movies are NOT horror movies)), and like 6 minutes to John Hughes (while leaving Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur off of the "In Memoriam" video). All of these led to a rushed finale for the Hurt Locker's big win and an anticlimactic feel to the end of the show.

There were some highlights. Tina Fey and Robert Downey Jr. were fantastic (shocking). Once I can find some video of that we'll get it up here. (UPDATE: Video located! Watch it here) And Sandy Bullock's speech was as charming as we could have hoped for.



We'll be talking about red-carpet fashion later, but i wanted to get some of our initial thoughts out to the interwebs. So, tell us, what did you think?

charm incarnate

I know who I'm rooting for tonight for Best Actress. And her name is Charming McSandyBullock. Sandy is going for history tonight, trying to become the first person to win both an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. And, showing just how awesome she is, she showed up last night to accept her Razzie (not something that people normally do). Let's just hope we get another Bullock speech tonight!!!

even though I think Carey Mulligan should have won in a landslide...

I am totally charmed by Sandra Bullock after she tied with Meryl Streep for Best Actress at the Critics Choice Awards last night.



also, one of the nice themes throughout was celebs talking about giving to Haiti. Of course, hopefully they put their money where their mouth is. Which, again, thanks Sandy.

Now go do more (that goes for all of you celebs (and everyone else)).
