Oscar, Oscar! A (truly) brief synopsis.



Yeah, I miss Billy Crystal. This year: crazy/genius Gary Busey, red gowns, why is Miley there?, Travolta's spray-on hair, the cute French girl won, Scheider and Renfro left out of the "In Memoriam" tribute, lots of pregnant gals, terrible songs from "Enchanted", perfect song from "Once", Clooney is God and Diablo Cody's "shoe-gate" dustup with Stuart Weitzman. That sums it up.

However, I think it's time to retire the following two words/phrases from our vocabularies. Feel free to send in more and I'll post them. I am sure someone is SO OVER the snappy "Juno" dialogue.

1) "Friend-o"

2) "I drink your milkshake."

As a person with "friend" attached to her name, I take offense to "friend-o". It's not clever or cute! So over Juno-o lingo-o.

Oh, and Miley was there to get millions of kids hooked on "Enchanted", because you know, parents need another CD they want to break in the house.

And I am over Diabl-o. I am so happy for her, but the Pebbles gown, the tats, the refusal to wear the shoes (after she approved the design); come on! Oscar is a time to be respectful.

The flip side to my own argument is that Diablo is remaining true to herself.

I DID love the movie, but I reminded of a time when everyone was so excited about "Titanic". Um, who likes that movie now? What a pile of crap.

PS - my little one was watching a Keith Urban video and screamed "It's Hannah's daddy"! They may want to rethink the guylights. So so similar. More on WHY Ava was watching a Keith Urban video another day. I think I was changing chandelier lampshades and couldn't take a minute of kid television.
