Talk about your wardrobe malfunctions.<br /><br />David Niven was at the podium, I think to give not receive an Oscar, and the guy dashed across the stage behind him and Niven paused and then said something like "To think that poor devil will spend the rest of his live explaining his short-comings."<br /><br />A hoot.Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-10212738366901746472011-02-24T16:46:47.633-05:002011-02-24T16:46:47.633-05:00Just saw "Black Swan," and, oh, my, it w...Just saw "Black Swan," and, oh, my, it was something.

For you youngsters who might not know what streaking is, at the time, idiots were streaking though public places with no clothes on. (I was out with my Camp Fire Girls in a mall once and had the "privilege" of seeing a streaker. Girl thought that was the funniest thing they'd ever seen.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F.

Don't worry--they are available as on-demand replay via your cable or on the web, You Tube will have posts of the big moments, etc. When I was a kid, all you got was mention on a nightly news show and reading the paper the next day.<br /><br />But, the fashions are fun at the start, hate the red carpet interviews, skip to the end of the show for the big notes, like best picture. Of course, I always like to check out best original screenplay and best adapted screenplay!Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-25963938595767243812011-02-24T10:26:23.251-05:002011-02-24T10:26:23.251-05:00Being a student from the Short Attention Span Thea...Being a student from the Short Attention Span Theatre school, I usually lose focus around hour 1.5 in the proceedings, but I will watch the pre-Oscar red carpet show with the kids. We hoot and holler at the tv (very healthy) and rate the dresses ourselves. It's more fun than the show. Great post, Maria!

And I'm not a celebrity hound either, but who can resist seeing everyone all dolled up and watching the faces when the winners' names are called? I hope Colin Firth and "The King's Speech" win big, too! Loved it! I'm going to see "Black Swan" today. I'm anxious to see Natalie Portman after her Golden Globe and SAG wins. And I want to see "The Social Network," too, one of these days (probably on DVD!).Susan McBridehttp://SusanMcBride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-31729643976878241092011-02-24T09:21:00.383-05:002011-02-24T09:21:00.383-05:00I can't wait to see what Helena wears.I can't wait to see what Helena wears.Druhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978384022143035332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-72722124732727059132011-02-24T08:34:09.134-05:002011-02-24T08:34:09.134-05:00Yes, Helena BC did a great job as the Queen Mum, a...Yes, Helena BC did a great job as the Queen Mum, and I also thought Geoffrey Rush was awesome :)Maria Geracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296473703226019932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-11326999860291354412011-02-24T08:11:58.567-05:002011-02-24T08:11:58.567-05:00I agree Maria.

I'm really hoping that Colin Firth wins for Best Actor and I'd like to see Helena Bonham Carter win for Best Supporting Actress. She's an incredible, if somewhat crazy-dressing, actress and plays such a range of roles -- demure Queen, deranged Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter movies. <br /><br />MarianThe Stiletto Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667670723330755598noreply@blogger.com
