I am watching the Academy Awards shows tonight and will be posting my trans-fashionista comments here until the end (mine, not necessarily the shows').
19:16 EST: Switching between the red carpet shows on E! and TV Guide Network (TVGN). E! has a better staff than TVGN except for the glaring exception of
transgender-bashing Kelly Orbourne. How does someone who dresses like her get off dishing on the way anyone else dresses? I hope her 15 minutes is over soon.
19:22 EST: I much like
Rose Byrne's black sequins evening gown.
19:27 EST: I also much like the evening gowns worn by Jennifer Lopez,
Stacy Keibler, and
Milla Jovovich.
19:34 EST: Is it just me or was
Bridesmaids overrated? If it wasn't for the feces jokes, that film would have been a blip on the radar that would have faded long ago. Personally, I found the feces jokes disgusting and not amusing.
19:41 EST: I also much like Leslie Mann's evening gown.
20:01 EST: What the... I assumed the Awards show would start at 8 PM like it has for the past 45 years! Wrong! It starts at 8:30. At that rate, I may fall asleep before Billy Crystal finishes his opening act.
20:15 EST: Having seen most of the outfits worn by the stars tonight, the outfit I would most like to femulate in is
Rose Byrne's black sequins evening gown.
20:23 EST: On the other hand, I loved
Midnight in Paris. I watched it for the first time last night and it is right up there with my favorite Woody films, like
Annie and
Hannah.
20:44 EST: Billy Crystal's opening act was the same time-proven shtick he used for hosting the Oscars in the past.
21:22 EST: The
Wizard of Oz focus group was very funny. (Love those flying monkeys!)
21:51 EST: I'm running out of gas --- next commercial and I may call it quits.
21:54 EST: Ben Stiller represents nepotism at its greatest. I think his parents are talented, but Ben... not so much.
22:07 EST: Christopher Plummer wins the Best Supporting Actor award. I will always remember his
excellent femulation in
The Silent Partner.
22:22 EST: My eyes are getting sleepy.
22:30 EST: My fave Woody wins for Best Screenplay (for
Midnight in Paris)! Hurray! On that positive note, I am going to bed.
