Another Cross Post!

The Oscars Meme

1. Which award was the biggest surprise to you?
2. Which award was exactly what you expected?
3. Which nominee do you feel got the award for some reason other than being the best in their category? Explain.
4. What scared you the most about Dolly Parton?
5. On a scale of one to ten, rate Jon Stewart's hosting.
6. Who would you like to see host next year's awards? Why?
7. Did the film montages seem like a ridiculous self-congratulatory waste of time to you? Why or why not? (gee, my feelings aren't obvious here, are they?)
8. Favorite gown?
9. Express your opinion of whether or not writers of western novels who write award winning screenplays should get to wear jeans to the ceremony.
10. Tom Hanks - what's with the long hair?
11. Who's hotter, George Clooney or Heath Ledger?
12. How come we love Aussie/Kiwi/Brit/Welsh/Irish/Scots actors so much?
13. Reese - blonde or brunette?

My answers are "under the fold"

1. Reese Witherspoon - I was sure the academy wouldn't think she's ready for it yet. I'm happy they rewarded a good portrayal.

2. Best Actor to Philip Seymour Hoffman - he was incredible as Capote - it was amazing.

3. Visual effects to King Kong. I think Narnia was superior.

4. Besides the way her mouth looks, I was afraid she'd fall off those shoes and break a hip!

5. 7 - he's not an insider so it'll take a while for the audience to warm up to him - hope he gets to try again next year - those "political ad" clips were very funny.

6. Jon - see above

7. Yes. We watch the Oscars to see things about current movies and current stars. If we want to watch old movies that's what A&E and Turner Classic are for

8. I thought Jennifer Anniston's gown was lovely. But her hair? ick.

9. Why not. The jeans look better with the boots than tuxedo pants would.

10. I hope it's for a movie that makes him a lot of money, because he looks ridiculous.

11. George Clooney

12. It's so much fun to hear them speak!

13. Brunette actually - she looks so washed out as a blonde.
