Sandra Bullock always looks pretty good for her age, but last night she was wearing more pancake than Aunt Jemima.

Demi Moore looked great, doing the intro to the Obit section.. shows what $250K+ in maintenance will get you. She looks awesome.. i will say that.

And they were DULL, too!! Another question! Did the Oscar PROGRAM have anything to do with movies?? This may have been not only the most predictable Oscar awards in years, it also may have been the dullest Oscar show in history!! Let's keep those "real" stars hidden. Only Lauren Bacall-- and we don't even get to hear her speak--- or whistle! Almost NO A-list stars in evidence at all, let alone any of the still-living "legends." No honoring of the techhie peons in public! "Young" people don't care about that! They will change the channel. Well, if this show was designed to bring back "younger" viewers, I guarantee you they were grabbing remotes within five minutes of the program's start!!! As soon as Neil Patrick Harris' spectatular surprise of an opening number finished (oh, God, the show''s gonna be GOOD!) and Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin began to follow a stupifyingly-unfunny script (oh, God, no it's NOT!!) Boring, boring, boring! (I'm overusing that adjective, but I simply refuse to write, "It suxs!") --- Oh, wait!! The "Oscar Show" producer was FROM the "Disney Channel" wasn't he?? Uncle Walt would turn in his grave!!!! He stood for Entertainment!! Did y'all notice the number of "real" stars who were present in the briefly-seen clips from the techhie awards??--- Nicholson, Spielberg and more? Didn't see them ot the Kodak last night!! Smart move on their part. Looks like we missed the "real" show and just got the Cable-approved "Awarding With the Stars" (mis-named, of course!) version. Of course, there may have been a few real "stars" hidden behind the front, separate section where nominees were squeezed in like sardines. But we didn't need to see that! That was out of easy tv-camera range!! And no one wants to see those old guys anyway! And that set!!! Take a gorgeous proscenium theatre and transform it into a TV show studio. Slick and tacky! They could have just presented Jimmy Kimmel's silly after-show right in there... just wheeled in his desk and his trailer-park supporting cast and there you go! At least the Obits were presented in a decent, tasteful way. Perhaps James Taylor could be persuaded to do it again--- every year!-- at least as long as he's alive. Misguided!! Altogether. (It was still better than Ellen's turn! Even Letterman's horrible night was better than Ellen and the Vacuum!) Okay, Oscar-people!! Back to 5 Best Pic nominees (some of the 10 were barely mentioned!) and making "Oscar" a gamourous MOVIE night-- with real STARS-- again!! (That is, if they aren't all in the grave by next March.) Joe B in NOLA PS-- To give the younger set of stars their due, they all showed professionalism and respect in their not-too-exciting appearances. And "young" people should all be furious at the lack of respect shown THEM by supposedly-Pandering Producers who claimed this mish-mash was FOR them.! Hey, Oscar! Next year, just concentrate on attracting the world-wide audience of MOVIE lovers who want to see some Hollywood Glamour, Excitement and (yes!) Taste!

Did the dance moves have *anything at all* to do with the movies? Colin Hunter Am I missing something? There seems to have been virtually no MOPO traffic the last few days.not even the normal running dialogue trashing the Oscar presentation. Whatup?
