" When I saw her family there in the front i think i knew in my heart she was going to win. "

They aren't rigged. Yes, most people's families aren't in the Orchestra and certainly not the front row: she probably demanded it and got it because she is a movie star. But I don't think she was tipped off, nor did they give it to her because they were there.

^Brick - i know that. my heart was right though. i just had a feeling, regardless. of course they didn't give it to her because her parents were there or because her husband is a hollywood oscar winner. it isn't the oscars. i may not agree with it, but i think it was a category that may have been very close.

ljay:

seriously? first of all i never said i hated her. so, tell me is not liking someone in every thread about them not the same as someone who gushes over them? lol

give me a break. at least i am clearly not alone in my feelings. i DO NOT HATE CZJ. that is a wasted emotion and I don't know the woman. I am not a fan, so sue me ffs. and typing my feelings about her silly speech or how i feel about her award wins really doesn't take that much energy.

- i did see her near some shops in Toronto when she was filming Chicago. she is gorgeous in person, and...she did say "hello" -

Pretentious writing is only considered brilliant when it is written by Sondheim or perhaps Kushner.

I'm rather bemused by the mini-tantrums regarding the length of Johnasson's speech compared to others. I noticed from the start that all the speeches in the beginning were lengthy. I told my father they were really going to be scrambling and cutting people off by the end of the broadcast if they mis-budgeted their time (which they often do). As the broadcast went on, the speeches got shorter until it turned farcical by the end. I just assumed everyone was noticing this. I couldn't figure out what was going on after the Best Musical award before Memphis reprised their song. That whole transition and ending was royally effed up. Other than the end of the broadcast, I enjoyed it. I was hoping the Fela performances would finally spark some interest in seeing the show. Instead, they cemented by complete disinterest in it altogether.

I loved the bit about Spiderman. Unfortunately, most of those watching it had no idea why it was funny.
