Hello Saloners and Academy Awards viewers,
What a fun and exciting night of oscars action it was yesterday. I for one think it was the most humorous Academy Awards we've seen in years. The broadway curveball was simply delightful. I am eternally thankful to God for creating a man as hot as Hugh Jackman who also likes to sing and dance his cute little patooty off. Amen. Other highlights include the red sequined get-up that Beyonce wore for her number which I wish could wear every friday night I don't have plans just around my apartment. Would anyone truly mind? Also there was the excitement of pretend gambling which Casey's ballots imbued with our little get-together. There was memorable highs, like how high Ben Stiller seemed as he expertly mimicked Joaquin Pheonix, and lowest of lows like Penelope Cruise's win for best supporting actress, what up?, or Milk taking home the best original screenplay, though the man did make a very touching speech. Many lessons learned like that if you make a short film about the Holocaust you will win, or if you die before the ceremony take place you will win, or that going full gay works much better than going full retard (Sean Penn). Altogether it was a truly magical eveining full of laughs (Jack Black's Pixar comment, congrats on tripling your yearly income in one night), tears (the Paul Newman commemoration, enough said), jeers (Sean Penn's politically charged speech), and Indians (everyone with Slumdog please come to the stage to automatcally recieve your award). I can only hope for as much fun next year.
P.S. -my money's on Marisa Tomei for best dressed and Jessica Biel for worst.

What a good summary! And I'll make a new post so we can vote for best and worst before anyone finds out the winners or should I say losers :)
best and worst dressed, i should say.
how was penelope cruze winning a low? That was one of my highs! I wanted her to win above all others.
And I have to say - I felt no jeers for Sean Penn's speech.
Also - penelope for best dressed! ok, i don't think they'll actually choose her - i think that they will choose Taraji P. Henson. But I would choose Penelope. But yes, I have to agree, Marissa Tomei's dress was stunning. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you're right allison in them choosing her. I just have to stand behind Taraji because i feel compelled to choose someone else just to make it interesting - plus, i really do think they could choose her.
Oh - also - for worst dressed I am going to choose Vanessa Hudgins. Yeck.
