So I guess he gets as much time as he wants? He has 70 years’ worth of people to thank. ;)
I have met Cruise’s mom. On one occasion I followed her into the ladies room just to get the 411. She loved the attention of being a celeb mom and was quite chatty.
Good times ... :)
Diane Lane looks nice and dewy...
What baby joke? Too bad I wasn’t in the restroom eavesdropping again.
Robert Boyle is 98 years old. Wow.
Any indication of whatever strange upbringing he must have had, that would lead him to his current cult?
I will never forget putting Romper Stomper in the DVD player and my husband’s astonishment that it was Crowe’s break out role
Is it just me or does John Travolta, Renee Zellweger, and Meg Ryan not have the same ooomph as Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and Rita Hayworth?
That’s pretty nifty.
AWK. I just woke up from my “short Nap”...and missed the Calvaliers game AND and hour & 3./4 of the awards. BUMMER
3 shows ONLY I watch on TV each year (this being one)& I did this..
thanks for the notes you are taking friends.
I will be watching in with my mom & coming back to post here for commercial now & then but am running another thread ...csm.
Thanks for thread lainie
I have seen Most of the Movies nominated for most catergories & thought this was an excellent year for cinema
Details, details.
Just incredible, and he walked out to the podium on his own (with a bit of assistance from the two ladies). He must have quite the resume... I like how he kept referring to Alfred Hitchcock as "Hitch".
Nope, it’s not just you. Remember for so many years they kept telling us how Jennifer Aniston was the next big huge megastar for the ages? They’re still missing more than they’re hitting.
check him out on www.imdb.com
Oh, really, Captain Obvious? So is roofing and waitressing. Have you done any (filmmaking, that is)? I have. Without the self contratulatory part, and without the corrupt and exclusive unionizing. As for talent, you can fake it there easier than in waiting tables.
He noted 3 actresses there that were pregnant. Jessica Alba, Kate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman. The showed them all at once on a divided screen (Nicole was not shown live, only her photo) and Stewart then says, “And the baby goes to...” and opens an envelope. The “winner” was none of them, it was Angelina Jolie. That last part was supposed to be the punch line, see...oh hahahahah.
Jennifer Aniston couldn’t carry Bette Davis’ jockstrap.
