Best Supporting Actor, Heath Ledger; Hugh dances, not as good as Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein.

Beyonce is everywhere. Wasn't she just singing to Barack and Michelle at one of the inauguration balls? This girl is everywhere. Nice Grease number. Lame. Oh, Sound of Music...gone. All that Jazz? Bob Fosse? Who cares? Now Jil is singing to that French disco tune. These numbers blow. Bunch of tuxedos and trying to act dramatic.
Oh, here comes the At Last thing and then we go on to High School Musical 3? Bring back Sound of Music!!!! Mamma Mia again. Ok, not doing play by play, they are changing songs too fast and basically it sucks. Why do they have to do these numbers? I didn't get anything from that except that Hugh is dreamy. Other than that, it fell flat.
Best Supporting Actor: First, what is up with Walken's hair? Is that a wig? He is a first class nutjob. One we all love, but a nutjob. Kevin giving Heath's intro. The Joker. This will win. The Oscar goes to Heath Ledger and his family comes up to accept. I didn't particularly love The Dark Knight. It was super loud and the story was kind of convoluted. But, loved every bit of Heath on the screen. He was amazing. We are all missing Heath and wish we could see the future acting roles of Mr. Ledger.
Man on Wire: Shellie saw this twice, she really enjoyed it. So, for Documentary presenter we get Bill Maher. We are fans of Bill Maher in this house. He is a pompous, arrogant, wise ass but he is a searcher for the truth and I always listen when he speaks. WINNER: Man on Wire. Now we have to see it.

  1. Beyonce needs to stop wearing outfits like that. Not flattering at all..especially with the tail between her legs. I still love her though, but I love Jigga more...where is he by the way?

  6. Loved your take on that supposed tribute to musicals,Phil!Lame! Didn't smack of movies at all. It was totally out of genre. Yeah, Beyonce is everywhere, and I'm still in the ballroom watching her cry and sing At Last to Barack and Michelle. Could we cut to that?

  7. Phil, I'm not seeing your writeups yet beyond Will Smith. So I'm commenting endlessly on this post. Jai Ho is the best thing about Slumdog! Or maybe it's the final note that makes you love the movie.
