I'm not embarrassed to admit that last night I watched the ENTIRE Academy Awards broadcast (we're talking live here, with commercials). Some thoughts on the evening:
1. Rachel Weitz was my best dressed. I thought she looked like a porcelain doll draped in silver. I LOVED her whole look. Some people gave her crap for her big, fat diamond necklace, but I say if you can't wear a big, fat diamond necklace to the Oscars, when can you?
2. Ex-Veeper Al Gore was the bell of the ball. The "I Love Al Show" peaked when he and Leonardo Dicaprio got up and announced that the 79th Annual Academy Awards had officially "Gone Green." Someone explain to me how an annual televised awards show is suddenly eco-friendly.3. Alan Arkin totally dissed on his Little Miss Sunshine costar, Abigail Breslin by telling Ryan Seacrest he didn't think she should win. He thought she had had enough attention. I'm so sure, Abigail was probably the most classy person of the night. She was adorable and lovely and probably deserved that award just as much as anyone else.
4. If I ever get married and then divorced, I hope to look half as good as Reese Whitherspoon. Seriously.
5. Ellen did a good job I thought. I thought some parts were hilarious (i.e. asking Steven Spielberg to take hers and Martin Scorsese's picture for her MySpace page). Others, not so much (i.e. the "recycled jokes" bit) Yawn.
6. Overall, the acceptance speeches were very blah. Jennifer Hudson's was my favorite, only because I thought she was the most genuine. And, I got a little emotional when she cut to a smiling, teary Beyonce, who I'm 90% sure wasn't faking it.
7. Speaking of Beyonce, not to be outdone, she rocked her performance of the Dreamgirls nominated songs. So great. It was cool to see her and Jennifer perform together too. Too bad that as soon as they left the stage, Melissa Etheridge won the Oscar for her song from, what else? "An Inconvenient Truth" This was followed by another round of applause for Al Gore.
I am getting a new camera this weekend. I can't take it anymore. This blog is pretty lame, and it's even lamer without pictures. So if I must, I must.

I'm excited for you to have a camera again. I need to get one too. I have been missing it tonz. Thanks for the low-down. I missed it all as I was developing film all day... fun eh?
I didn't watch the Oscar's so this was a great wrap-up. I did see the pics of the best and worst dressed on people.com today and reese was my favorite. Rachel Weisz looks good though too, especially for having just had a baby a few months back.
Your cat is cute.
