Oh was she? Was that the new one or the BBC version? Oh my.

Considering that she is wearing zero makeup, it’s her hair and dress which stand out and make her look completely different than anyone else there.

Wouldn’t it be kinda neat to see some more of these actresses without benefit of makeup and hairstylists?

[Cheapskate]

Tilda , is that you?

[spectre]

She played the angel Gabriel in Constantine..

sw

[lainie]

I'll tell you guys what. I'm no casting director, but David Bowie could hire Tilda to play him in an autobiographical flick.

Heidi Klum’s red dress being auctioned off is only valued at $6 grand according to the diet coke. I always thought they were suppose to be really expensive dresses.

[Cheapskate]

Wow! Just Damn!”

[lainie]

Actually yes! You know — at least she has a unique look.

[lainie]

I just realized what’s going on with that, too. For those that didn’t see the commercial, Heidi Klum is wearing that loud red dress as a Coke promotion. The dress is to be auctioned.

[RummyChick]

that is just his schtick. did you notice that he actually took them off for his awards acceptance speech.

I just saw bucket list..seems he wore them alot in that film too.

[Ciexyz]

I'm devastated that Ruby Dee lost to some Brit. President Obama, call for an investigation. Oh wait, he's not President yet. (smile)

[lainie]

Coen Oscars. 2nd win.

Which one is Frances’ husband?

[lainie]

gee, what was THAT all about

[RummyChick]

I actually like the dress shown on the mycokerewards site better than what Klum wore.

[lainie]

Here’s a backslapper to tell us how wonderful he and his academy are....

[Borges]

It is a great organization that does a lot to further the appreciation of American movies.

[lainie]

Did Robin Williams host? Was he funny? I can’t remember.

[lainie]

Uh huh.

That sequence was a complete, utter waste of time.

[Cheapskate]

Yup everybody there will have nice shiny Heinies when they’re done!

[peggybac]

Miley looks adorable - great dress, BUT FIX YOUR HAIR! Geesh, what is it with all the hairdos?

[Borges]

If you take it seriously then it’s nice to know what the process is. Better that then these awful production numbers.
