In the interest of stating something not-so-interesting, I love the movies. In a little-girl-all-I-want-to-do-is-eat-popcorn-and-stare-at-that-magic-screen-for-hours kind of way. It’s basically my favorite activity. Besides eating of course. Which means that one of the most wonderful days of my year is fast approaching. That’s right, folks, Oscar night is on the way!
Like Santa Claus…only it’s not a person and it’s not imaginary.
But before getting my hopes up that The Queen and Borat will win everything and sweep those Dream-girls under the rug, I decided it was high time to take a little trip down memory lane and pay my respects to the grueling…ahem, gorgeous … four hours that were last year’s Academy Awards. That’s when I came across this blog, the Oscar 2006 Blog which is pretty self-explanatory if you ask me, except for the fact that such a boringly-titled blog never before contained such mirth!
It’s a blow by blow from the red carpet to my future husband’s (meaning Jon Stewart’s) final bad joke. Literally, the posts are minute-by-minute—sometimes multiple times per minute. Nothing’s particularly insightful, but everything jogs the memory. For instance, who else remembers this red carpet moment besides myself and this blogger: “Hello, Reese’s boobs: Tasteful dress you’re wearing.” In all fairness, despite all the crap she took for it, I liked that dress, but I remember the boobs, too, for what it’s worth.
Anyway, it’s things like that that made me happy and nostalgic for last year….yet chomping at the bit for this year.
