The Oscars & Red Carpet thread — Page 11

Cate gave a brilliant performance; it was very well-deserved and Matthew has come such a long way. Also, congrats to '12 Years a Slave'.

If people did not like Matthew's speech because of spirituality and faith, then that is just plain mean. But they may not have liked it because they thought he was being too much of a hick, but that's what his personality is like.

Noooooo. Cos he implies that G*d is basically an agent w William Morris through which all things are possible. NO- guaranteed!

Steve McQueen jumping up and down like a happy little kid was a nice cap-off of the night. Reading about his personal life growing up, he'd be an amazing subject in the Shane Meadows This is England series.

Loved Cuaron's speech. People seem to ignore how important a figure he is to Mexican cinema. Without him, so many filmmakers, even the filmmakers he is not connected to, would not get noticed up here in the States.

McConaughey and Cate gave good speeches. For McConaughey's standards that was a good speech. Cate's speech was just an extension of her awesomeness, look up her speech at SAG and the Spirit Awards.

Lupita's speech was lovely.

Jared's was whatever. Hate the character, hate how that character is used, and checked out of the performance because of how the character was used. Just glad he didn't mention Brazilian wax.

Spike Jonze winning is really the only surprise, and he won the WGA.

David O. Russell film shut out after winning 2 the first time and just 1 the second time. He gets the nominations but the films cannot close. Neither can Sony. 3 times they were in position as front-runner during certain Oscar seasons, Social Network and Zero Dark Thirty the others, and came up incredibly short. At this point, I don't care about the quality of films they get to distribute. They are terrible at campaigning.

"Salutes Phyllis"

God bless the ostentatiously pious.

I feel about God the way Liza's Headband feels about Woody Allen.

Miss Midler has confirmed that she said to the audience, "I feel like I just won the Olympics."

---

At least Woody Allen made a few movies I liked. This God guy ain't done squat.

Yes.

I can never remember her husband's name to call her Mrs. Whatever. Hapsburg.

Has Liza's Headband exploded because Cate Blanchett did not condemn Woody Allen?

---

She's still the Divine Miss M.

---

Of course, The Harlettes call her "Miss Mildew".
