I only watched part of the Oscars....

Best Dress: I too am a fan of Michelle William's ensemble. I also liked Felicity Huffman's dress. She is so buff, she looks great in clothes.

Worst Dress: Nicole Kidman. Blech. I tried on and cast aside wedding dresses that looked like that. Wasn't too impressed with Reese's dress. Blah. I liked J. Lo's green dress.

Most Excited about: I think Rachel Weiz is always the picture of elegance, so it was nice that she won although I didn't see her movie.

Worst Presenter: I couldn't watch Lauren Bacall's speech regarding Film Noir. It was so painful. It was like watching Womens' figure skating at the olympics, which I do not do. Too much pressure. I think Lauren may have made the leap in the last year from with-it film legand to frail elderly lady.

I agree that Clooney's speech was flip.

I really thought PCH was great in Capote but I also thought that Heath Ledger was superb as Ennis, so I am disappointed for Heath but not that PCH won? You know. The three standout performances this year for a male, PCH, HL and JP were all really good. I think if any of them had won I would have been glad.

Although I did not see Transamerica yet, I have heard that FH's performance was awesome so I kind of wish she would have won. I watched Just Like Heaven this weekend b/c I luv Mark Ruffalo but Reese's performance was sucky and bitchy. But the movie was stupid, so maybe I shouldn't blame her. Anyhow I think she did a good job in Walk the Line and probably went about as deep as is possible for her.

In Her Shoes was good. I read the book about 1 month ago and the movie stays pretty true to the book. I also think CD is a perfect Maggie although I think she's only an okay actress.

OK...I got the impression you wanted me to remark on your blog, Squashpaw...I agree with everything you rated except the following: Green dress: boo; Heath as Ennis: too restrained for me. Yes, I thought Reese's movie with Mark R.: sucky; I loved Rachel W. and was glad she won; loved Michelle W's. dress; Lauren Bacall was painful; didn't see George Clooney's speech.
