The consistent subtle and not-so-subtle misogynistic atmosphere did not a grand impression make on many of the female attendees, as well as women watching from home or at a party. Way to go, Academy! Finally you're showing your Sexism Bias in a blatant form!
If anyone wonders why the Academy allowed the horrendous writing by anyone involved with penning lead-ins and time-filling non-joke-jokes, note that a new President of the Academy is known to be a Chauvinistic Jerk. It's back to overt Open Frat Boy Time in Hollywood.
If anyone had been thinking clearly about What Could Go Wrong while planning the event, I can't imagine how the usual sideline faceless assistants we see at most award shows, weren't assigned to wait by the slippery steps to assist women in clumsy, huge dresses who had to tackle the upward route on their own, only to have a Huge Flat-Face Fall on their way up to accept The Gold Nude Man, as did Jennifer Lawrence. Everywhere on the I-Net today I've seen constant replays of her fall. Wow! Was THAT the best moment of the event? Not Daniel Day-Lewis' excellent acceptance speech? Right. No one cares about words – just the awkward moments – which means most of the lame show.
You may have stopped-by today to read a brief Oscar Follow-up, and then find the topic shifting into political realms via The Sequester Game the U.S. is now facing. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm done (as much as I can be "done") with writing about the same-old Bad Guys in Congress and the sometimes seemingly non-present Prez Obama as we inch toward effing people over by not paying the nation's outstanding bills. I will wait until the last minute, following the lead of our inept Congress, to comment.
So, back to what's Most Important Today:
Everyone agrees that Jane Fonda at 75 looks better, sexier and hotter than almost all of the younger actress' combined. Well, of course she looks fab. She's in a very sexy relationship with music producer Richard Perry and tends to let all of us know they have a thriving intimacy. It shows cuz' she glows!
Adele has such a pretty face, lovely voice, and an odd dignity until she speaks. I adore her…but prefer that she cease and desist from ruining the image by saying ridiculous things in poor English; or saying nice things with mangled words. Just sing, darling, and show us that proud yet also humble attitude for which you are known.
And then there are The Beards I wrote about in the latest The Weekly Fluff. Here a beard, there a beard, almost everywhere there were Beard-Beards And Staches. I saw way too much facial hair for me, thank you very much. Even Jennifer Aniston's guy, Justin Theroux, has been growing his full facial distraction again (as we can view from pics taken of them in an upcoming link below). Is having a beard (and mustache) the only way most of the Metrosexual-Type Celebs are promoting their High Testosterone levels to curb all of the gay rumours this year? What-ever. But then, not all "Beards" at the event were made of hair on the face.
I can be funny at times and not-so-much at others. I am still absorbing the absurd remarks made by Seth M., and not feeling all funny and fuzzy enough to attempt to wake the Sleeping Bitch-Wit Within, which is why I'll link you to what I enjoyed reading this morning about The Big Night (warning: language there can sometimes be a bit crass for pearl clutchers). I don't want to shill for a site I read every day primarily for many of the hysterical comments/observations from Michael K at dlisted, but he has outdone himself in almost all of his Oscar posts today; thus, I'm bowing-out of snark at this point and hoping you'll stay on his site long enough to read the other Oscar-Based posts.
Let's hope next year's Big Event will be hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Please!
Enjoy your day/evening/etc. – and, as always, thanks for stopping by!

Noticed how men loved the program with Seth while most women hated it.

Hi P - Yep. That's what I've been hearing and reading...yet another indication of the huge gap in male-female sensibilities.
