I read her “pre-award” regimen, and she said her lips are the one un-touched feature of her face.

Yes, definitely a miss. Sad really when you consider how much money they spend on a dress.

Also it looks like he's wearing brown shoes with the tux.

Did you see Jennifer Garner? I thought she looked pretty, but the local critic was commenting on her old style dress (negatively). Maybe there were too many ruffles for him.

hehe! same here!

Everyone & their brother is in a live broadcast. Is it me or is it weird to see Richard Roeper broadcasting as host? Should film critics be seen on their own shows and nowhere else? kinda strange.

I’m sure it’ll be just as bad, at times, as we expect. But that’s okay — together we stand against the crud. Solidarity!

Seth Rogan was also really funny in the 40-Year-Old Virgin movie.
