In years past, the first award always went to supporting actress. Now we start with costume design.

I do think it’s sad that Norbit is nominated, and will probably win, for makeup. That’s just sad. Though, the makeup artists didn’t write the dreck, I suppose.

Costume winner: Elizabeth the Golden Age.

Helen’s a GILF they say.

She has always been ...brave (?)

She is no grandma....hates crumbsnatchers but at least she’s honest about it.

I think Busey was straight. He’s probably more coherent when he’s coked up.

She also should have gone to make-up and hair - one time in her life. That was horrible!

Sex jokes? I didn't hear them. In fact I didn't hear a sex joke nor anything sounding like a joke but I did hear the audience laugh. He's really blah.

LOL, I can't believe I missed his jokes. It sounds like they're fluffing up the sound from the audience with canned laughter.

She turns in a strong performance. Interesting story on the singer. Available now for rent or purchase.

Thanks. I definitely want to see La Vie en Rose...

Do you know anything about "Atonement"?

Heard about the twins rumor. But nothing about in vitro. Shoot Shilo is not even 2, right? How long must they have been trying before going the in vitro route?

I know Jennifer Lopez’s twins are from in vitro.

I detest George Clooney - besides being a raging lib, he’s not a nice person, BUT, he’s so darn good looking.

romance and regret, supposedly well done. I want to go, but haven’t sprung it on HIM yet. Search for some reviews and you’ll get info.

Barbra appeared on my tv with no warning whatsoever. I think I jumped a little for real.

Clooney. “Hi you guys!” He’s one of them, in case you didn’t know.

I like this montage.
