She is too young to be doing that, and she is starting to look like Elizabeth I.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Susan Sarandon looked gorgeous.  I loved the tears in her eyes when Tim gave his speech.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; The Blake Edwards tribute was one of my favorite parts of the night.  We all were just HOWLING watching those old Pink Panther clips.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah yes&#8230;.it&#8217;s all coming back to me now&#8230;&#8221; (crash bang boom)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was a priceless Steinway!&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Blake Edwards on the wheelchair ramming through the fake wall was hysterical.  I loved that Jim Carrey gave the award.  Perfect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I always get all choked up when the technical guys and special effects guys and sound guys come up to get their awards.  These are the invisible geniuses &#8211; the tech geeks &#8211; the computer geeks &#8211; and yet they are so proud to be a part of these great collaborations.  They kill me.  Love them all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Charlize Theron was too tan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; However, one of the tie-breaking questions being bandied about at the Oscar party &#8211; was: &#8220;What color dress will Charlize wear?&#8221;  The guesses were mainly gold, or blue.  I went with white.  I won.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I thought Billy Crystal did a great job. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I have a problem with Renee Zellwegger.  I can&#8217;t wait until her star sets.  She&#8217;s too pleased with herself.  Her career is the result of great managers and a publicity machine, not something like true raw talent.  The response to her speech was pretty tepid, so I think I&#8217;m not alone in feeling this way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I loved all the Hobbit boys sitting together.  And I loved Peter Jackson sitting with &#8211; was that his wife? With the flowers in her black hair?  You just could tell that the whole cast and crew just went NUTS in New Zealand for the last 3 years. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Oh, and I LOVED during the red carpet, the 4 Hobbit boys being waylaid by Joan Rivers.  She was talking to all of them, and Sean Astin&#8217;s phone rang during this, and <i>he took the call<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Allison Krauss is gorgeous, incredible &#8211; her voice goes right through me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Eugene Levy and Catherine O&#8217;Hara are two of my own personal idols.  How psyched were they, two improv comedians of all things, performing at the Oscars a <i>duet<\/i>?  Catherine O&#8217;Hara playing her damn autoharp with that sanctimonious look on her face was freakin&#8217; hysterical.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; I love Scarlett Johannson. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8212; Uma Thurman&#8217;s dress was ridiculous. &#8212; Nicole Kidman must stop injecting botox into her forehead.
