THE 
February 26, 2007 Oscar Highlights!
Wake Up Love Muffins, the Oscars are finished. If you fell asleep and missed the show then I’ll fill you in on the highlights.
First and foremost, Ellen Degeneres deserves major kudos for hosting a great show. Normally I doze during the Oscars but I felt she did a fantastic job moving the show along.
Will Ferrell, Jack Black, and John C. Reilly mocked the fact that comedians never win Oscars (see Eddie Murphy). Just Hilarious!
Abigail Breslin and Jayden Smith were just too cute for words!
As expected, Jennifer Hudson took home the award and made sure to thank the original Jennifer! (I’m referring to Jennifer Holiday who originally played Effie on Broadway!)
The Pilobolus group was incredible! Exhibit A: “Snakes on a Plane”
Martin Scorcese finally won! It’s about time.
Celine Dion premiered her song “I Knew I Loved You”. You would think that after 5 years in Las Vegas her fashion sense would plummet but she looks tons better since she’s been away!
The true highlight of the night came when Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce went head-to-head sharing the stage and singing each other’s songs! We’ll let you decide who won that one.
Just in case you were counting we were 5 out of 6 in our Oscar predictions.

The Oscar…oh the indignity of a predictable 4 hour show. I would like to nominate the person in charge of estimating the length of the show for a public stoning. There was absolutely NOOOOO reason for that show to be over 4 hours!!!
While the dance troop were somewhat entertaining, there was veritably no need for a tribute to Screenwriters, a skewed look at America, or a salute to Foreign Film. The hodgepodge of images were enough to send any sane person into a psychotic rage. I actually nodded off during one of the exercises in kowtowing, only to have a nightmare of epic proportions; a montage of introductory one-liners from David Caruso in CSI: Miami.
I agree that there should be no limit to the speeches, and some awards could be given out in the parking lot. I would get rid of Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, even though the choir of noises was mildly entertaning. I would also take out the Best Foreign Documentary, along with the Best Documentary Short subject, which I always felt was a oxymoron. My final pick for abolishment to the In and Out parking lot Oscar ceremony would be Art Direction, because they are just the glorified managers of finding and budgeting the sets and location.
There should also be a petition to deny any person from receiving a Lifetime Achievement award if tney require a translater. Also, when did the Oscars before MTV? They had a fired MTV veejay and a freakin world premiere from Celine Dion. Why the hell are the Oscar producers retarded?
We all have things we would change with the Oscars, but only a rebel revolt will show them we mean business. Until then, I don’t see my dream coming to fruition.
P.S. Was is just me or did Jennifer Husdon blow Beyonce out of the water when then sang together? I always thought that song was boring as hell until she Jennifer sang a few bars and the shroud of Beyonce’s singing prowess was ripped off my ears and taken away on a gust of wind.
