That performance of “Skyfall” was awesome. I hope it wins. The first time I heard Adele was that song during the opening credits of the movie, and not only did I think it was a great song, I understood why people were talking about Adele.

Silver Linings Playbook - what a mediocre film. ---

They announced that the orchestra is down the street and around the corner at the Capitol Records building. ---

Haven’t they figured out that they’re doing three picture nominees at the same time? Of course, _Silver Django Linings Amour Unchained Playbook_ looks really good. Not as good as the Lincoln killing Bin Laden/helping Canada save diplomats, but still good. ---

Could Kristen Stewart look any less happy to be there? Hurt foot or not? ---

What’s with the vampire girl? She sounds like she wants to kill herself. ---

Awfully good of Kristem Stewart to condescend to appear. ---

Add me to the chorus of what was with Kristen Stewart. She looked like she was trying desperately hard not to fall asleep. ---

She looked like she was under the influence of something. She was shaking her leg in a weird way on the red carpet. ---

Ah well. Horrible High Hair makes it’s appearance, ruining a perfectly beautiful woman. ---

Yeah, that high hair makes Salma Hayek look like she’s recovering from a terrible disease. It’s worse than Hitler. ---

Kristen Stewart apparently showed up using crutches tonight. That said, she pretty much always looks that bored and uninterested in every appearance I’ve ever seen. ---
