“Hit the tympani, kids- It’s Sid Gannis!”
Yeah, he’s “poor.” His agent is a genius. I know 2x4s with more talent, but he still gets work. I don’t get it.
Best Art Direction:
Memoirs of a Geisha
Everyone’s posting about this one, so clearly this award is a hot one.
The music behind the “activism” montage was so over the top. Barf. “And none of those issues was ever a problem again” and “Susan Sarandon just mailed us a check for $50,000” were pretty good.
Please don’t tell me that Sid Dennis was the “very special performance”! “State of the heart” storytelling? Oh my god.
The president of the Academy?
To paraphrase P.J. O’Rourke:
“…and then the show that wasn’t moving stopped doing even that.”

Clearly, Sid Gannis hasn’t been to a public movie theater in quite some time.
When did they start electing nobodies?

If they’re filming in New Orleans they should be making movies about a huge flood! The set decoration has already been done!
Salma Hayek’s boobies just introduced Bill Conte.
Salma Hayek. Yowsah!!!
I know, but it was a bit much for an Oscar show, accompanied by a ridiculously choreographed dance. And as Jon Stewart said, “When trying to escape from a burning car, best not to move in slow motion.”
Salma Hayek is magnificent.
So the “very special performance” is from Bill Conti and Itzhak Perlman. OK.
Jon’s getting warmed up now(or maybe it’s that the audience is getting warmed up?)…I was starting to worry about him with that “I’m a loser!” remark. Go, Jon, Go!
That’s what I was thinking. Hoe-down in a montage of activist films?
If he’s really “internationally acclaimed,” do you really need to point that out? I’m just asking…
She makes me wish I was a lesbian.
