liveblogging the oscars

Man, we've come down since it was Tom Hanks doing the science and tech awards, eh?  Dear Jessica Alba:  even the audience is wonder wtf is going on with your dress.  That is because it is hanging lower on one side than the other, and they're afraid it's about to malfunction.  (Okay, two free points for being pregnant.  But that shouldn't make the bodice fall off, should it?)

YAY JAMES McAVOY'S REAL ACCENT.  And yay Josh Brolin.  And yay the two of them.  Are they the first ones to be funny all night?

I like Chenoweth, and the fact that she's doing the big dance number just makes me more suspicious that Amy Adams is knocked up under that ugly dress.  But I'll tell you what's ironic:  Idina Menzel won the Tony for Wicked, right, but she doesn't sing in Enchanted, and when they need someone to sing the song from Enchanted at the Oscars, do they use Idina? ... no, they use the one she beat for that Tony.  Funny how it all comes around.

Three rows was all I did wrong.  Thank goodness.

I think part of the reason Kristin Chenoweth was doing it also has to do with it being broadcast on ABC which also broadcasts Pushing Daisies on which she stars. Though I will say I was bit perplexed that they had Amy Adams sing Happy Working Song, then disappear for the lame attempt to translate the production number, then come back to dance for So Close (without Patrick Dempsey who introduced the clip)... it was v. bizarre to say the least.
