Oscars Part IV

I love, love, love the nominees clips!!!!!!! Awesome! I would watch that over and over again. Eddie Murphy getting in trouble for being funny. People just being people. Many of them backstage types, getting a moment. That is fabulous. I love having them all stand. They deserve it. I am going to stop typing to clap.

No dress on Ellen, but a snazzy reddish velvet tux (and cut to her mom and Portia in the audience), but she is wearing more makeup then I have ever, ever seen her in. It looks good, just strange.

Can I point out that Penelope Cruz is from Spain, and she seemed to notice the slip of her being named right before the shout out to Mexico. Whoops. Is that an MLP (misidentified latino person) rather then a MBP (substitute black)?

Abigail Breslin is adorable, just cute as a button. Peter O'Toole may however just kick it during the ceremony (and did we see his companion whispering in his ear what is actually being said).

Wow, Gore is getting some applause there!!! And how cute is Leo when Ellen makes him blush.

Dancing and singing, and some people in the audience standing up. Lots of other sitting down. Oh well.

James Bond is hot, and he came in costume. How nice of him. Nicole is still wearing a giant Christmas bow. Art Direction goes to "Pan's Labyrinth" which seems totally fair. It looks pretty fancy, and I always like it when the non-celebs dress well (the set decorator looks great in basic black). Viva La Mexico.

Weird boob squishing is happening in Maggie Gyllenhall's dress. More dancing, into the Oscar. That was kind of cool.
