And the Oscar goes to…
…I don’t much care.
But as in previous years, I like watching the fashion. So that’s what I’m doing.
And while I’m watching the fashion, I’ll just observe that, when you wear one of those boob-revealing dresses, they tend to smash the merchandise into the pancake look, which is not the most attractive possible mode of presentation.
I so totally agree! Not enticing at all.
When one is captived by celebrity fashion one is enslaved by the msm – tabloid narrative. Free your mind, and your heart will follow.
I don’t watch the Oscars for fashion, political statements, or for any other reason. Glad to say I missed the idiot parading on stage in his underwear. So today; so sophisticated.
(My wife noticeably turned the sound down on one speaker, but I caught enough to realize that she was trying to control my blood pressure.)
However, she did call me to see Lady GaGa. (Only she knows why.) I had been listening from another room as she sang; and I was surprised to see who it was. She can be serious. When I saw her I was also impressed at how attractive, in a full bodied womanly way, that she was in the white dress. Then I began to see the tattoos, here and there, and the moment passed.
I just do not understand younger women today. I know that I am old, and clearly out of touch. But, I also have had the benefit of appreciatively looking at stylish, attractive women for several decades now. The tattooed lady isn’t it. Every time I see tattooes on a woman, I lose both interest and respect. Lest I be thought sexist; male tattoos do not impress me either.
I confess, at one time I thought to have a set of Navy wings tattooed on my left chest. I resisted until I outgrew the temptation.

Well, somehow I’ve managed to evade MSM-tabloid slavery despite my mild and transient-yet-yearly interest in Oscar fashions.
Apparently the host, Neil Patrick Harris, was a bore. So he made an otherwise innately boring ceremony sink even deeper into its own lameness.
Another evening of Hollywood self congratulation.
I did enjoy the reprise of “Sound of Music.” Now that’s good music…..that tells a story. I was surprised by Lady Gaga. She can sing. But like Oldflyer, the tats were a distraction. I feel sorry for all the young women and men who one day will be old and wrinkled like me. Not something they will cherish in old age. Just my opinion, of course.
Julie Andrews really looked great. She’s just a couple of years younger than I am, which would have made her 30 when she made the movie. Like her, it seems to me the last 50 years have gone by entirely too quickly. “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think” – my motto.
Jennifer Lopez is a beautiful woman, but that dress cut to the navel did not impress.
The racist remarks by one of the writers of the song Glory were so totally outrageous that I’m sure my blood pressure spiked. Does the twit realize that we have a black President, Attorney General, Director of Homeland Security, and many, many successful blacks in the audience he was insulting with his remarks? Oh well, few Oscar programs have been without some fool making appeals for some left leaning cause.
I may go see “The Theory of Everything” and “The Imitation Game” based on the clips that were shown.
It was obvious that the Academy did not approve of “American Sniper” with so few nominations and only one award. So what’s new?
I felt sorry for Neil Patrick Harris. Only one or two of his “jokes” went well. Had to be a rather uncomfortable experience to keep doing one liners and getting……….nothing. Doubt he will want to do another.
Except that “mashed look” is the way most mature women look like w/o a pushup bra. I don’t even watch for that much any more as most of the women are…ugly in spirit, which is a huge turn off to me.
I’m hoping, and this hope can live until sometime mid-day tomorrow, that the CBS movie ‘Act of Valor’ beats the Oscars in the ratings. Now that would hilarious.
There was this one dress worn by Kristen Chenoweth that was green and didn’t flatten. It was remarkable. I’ll see if i can find it
latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef01539412fa5a970b-pi
That’s the link to the dress
I watched some—off and on—and can say that Neil Patrick Harris was a complete embarrassment. But, hey, his Hubby would prolly go like postal on me , dudes, if he/she heard me say like that.
The dresses were soooooo 1930s…
i vonder vy…
To Baklava . . .
re: There was this one dress worn by Kristen Chenoweth that was green and didn’t flatten.
That’s because they are not real. Just sayin’
In my opinion, the boob smashing décolleté separates the skillfully, and tastefully done implants from the hack jobs. Oh, and Neil Patrick? Seemed out of his element somehow.
Eh … didn’t watch, didn’t care, haven’t been to see any of the movies.
However, the daughter unit did run down some of the photos of the dresses on the red carpet; pretty tasteful and mostly flattering, which doesn’t happen often. Most of the ladies seem to have made an effort with styling their hair and accessorizing tastefully.
Dear Patricia Arquette,
It is entirely understood that you are clueless when it comes to history and just how far this country has advanced on so many issues.
Last night you chose to turn your few moments in the spotlight in DEMANDING that women get equal pay.
Please find below that clearly 52 years ago—-long before you were birthed on this planet, there was a president who did just that.
His name was John F. Kennedy.
On June 10, 1963, this president of the United States of America—–(that’s the country you live in)—–passed the Equal Pay Act.
Here it is:
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=9267
It did all of those things you stamp your feet and pound your fists about—–today—–52 years later. What a waste of time for you.
Howard Dean would, if you were not a Loser-Lefty, refer to you as, “Unknowledgeable”.
Me? I call you “unpatriotic” for squealing out on an issue that one would think you should know about——since you “felt” the need to make it such a publicized issue on national television.
Here it is once again:
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=9267
Now, go back to your narcissistic existence which surrounds itself around you and yourself and all that involves you and yourself. As for the “talking points” someone handed you about social issues—–ask them for an updated list.
You effing loser….
The Oscars
A general collection of overly dressed GYPSIES parading around stage back-slapping each other about their overt insecurities, narcissism, and prideful ignorance on social issues which are largely irrelevant, historically incorrect, and mostly misrepresentative of FACTS.
Oh yes, and apparently with “smashed boobs”.
That last detail is one which I find very curious, given that “perky” ones are seemingly so much more predisposed to being attention-getters.
I mean, if these are supposedly the best collection of actresses (vying for attention) one can muster up, it would seem that they could get them to act “perky”.
Sgt. Mom:
I agree that in general the dresses were much better than in any year in recent memory.
Not so the proceeding.
Yes, the only interesting part is the pretty dresses and the jewelry!
And, hey, when so much art has been dragged into the gutter, made vulgar and intentionally ugly, I don’t think it’s so wrong to appreciate one area where some are still striving for beauty.
However, I’ve read that there was a bit of an actress revolt on the red carpet with most of these ladies complaining that they wanted to talk about more meaningful things than fashion (#AskMeMore). So the SJWs want to even deny us the last remaining pleasure of this shallow, self-congratulatory event. Shut up and pose, ladies!
Aesthetics is mostly derived from ethics.
A person that finds A beautiful and B ugly, generally has mutually incompatible ethics with a person that finds A ugly and B beautiful. It’s strange like that.
There are many women on this blog.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just obsessed with this.
Patricia Arquette has an audience of tens and tens of millions of people in the world last night. She could speak on so many, many issues facing the people of earth.
Women in muslim countries not allowed to be educated.
These women are abused. They are essentially enslaved. In Egypt, muslims there mutilate their women with clitorectomies.
CLITORECTOMIES!!!
The “Slave Trade” crosses many boundaries across many countries. It is occurring right here in the United States. Young girls being forced into prostitution——here in AMERICA.
So many abuses facing women.
And what does Patricia Arquette choose to speak about as her “beef”?
An issue that was settled over 50 years ago.
Wage inequality.
Is that really an issue which women believe to be MOST significant?
You know, from the perspective of a woman?
Silence…
( The Left is so provincial in their ideology. So very narrow, limited, unsophisticated. FACT )
Why was Joan Rivers left out in the section that they honor the people that passed away in that year?
Joan was not a movie star. Which is not to say she was not a force of nature and a performer.
Most of the individuals given recognition to were NOT “movie stars”.
There were directors
There were producers
There was one who was a sales executive
Yeeeeeeesh…
As Joan would say …
I’ve got more time in the red carpet chow line than most of these so called “stars” have in the business.
I read that Joan Rivers was not a member of the Academy–that’s why.
I couldn’t work up the interest to watch for any reason. I watched a 1935 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. movie, Man Of The Moment.
Careful, NCS, or Neil Prattle Harris’s hubby will throw his manly thong at you. GRrrrrrrrr!!
Bill Maher @billmaher: “Its already the gayest Oscars ever”
Yeah, I had that thought at the opening number, too. NTTAWTD.
Love to see millionairesses who are Down for the Struggle. Heartwarming, innit? Patricia Arquette took a lot of Red-on-Red flak when she said gays and people of color[TM] should support women’s struggle like women had supported them: she was attacked for not being “intersectional” enough.
Yes, “intersectionality” is now A Thing. You automatically Must Remember that a person can be a Woman, And a gay person, And a person of color, And you must also Say All Of Those Things.
Or Else.
God, they’re exhausting.
Hated Cate Blanchette’s dress: it looked like the arms had been torn off of it, and the back ripped open with pinking shears. The turquoise necklace I didn’t like either: looked like something you could get off the dime store counter (Tiffany’s, how could you?).

And here is the Academy Awards in 1956:

(If you don’t like Jerry Lewis, stick with it anyway: he doesn’t do his “Idiot character” here. Claudette Colbert hosts the New York City event.)
Oh, for the good old days!.
