It Is Oscar Night

I love the Oscars.  I love the clothes, the hair, the Red Carpet.  Love it all!!  Tru Stories and I go way back watching the Oscars together.  We have spent many Oscar evenings on the telephone discussing the show.  One evening we had a very, very lengthy long distance call.  That was when we still paid for long distance!  We used to even watch some of the movies before the Academy Awards so we knew what movie to cheer on.  I used to take the day after the Oscars off.  Sadly, I just go to work tired now.
Tru Stories is busy with her needy children.  We will barely even get to talk on the phone.  We had plans to see Descendant's and that did not happen.  I went the The Help and watched Moneyball.  So, there are at least two movies I know about. I listened to the audio of the book, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  That is almost like seeing the movie. If there were an awards show for books, I would be all over that.  I would try to read all of the books that were nominated.
I have devoted 3 hours to the Academy Awards already tonight.  Loved many of the dresses.  I would have a tough time finding 10 dresses for the Worst Dressed.  Gwenyth Paltrow in all white was AMAZING.  Sandra Bullock was beautiful as always.  I love George Clooney's girlfriend's dress too.  Not sure if she can be counted in the best dressed list.  My favorite dress is unique, black and gold.  Worn by Jessica Chastain from The Help.  It is amazing.  I do not love Angelina Jole's dress.  Nothing unique or interesting about it.  Looks like styles she has worn before.  I liked the dress she wore at The Golden Globes much better. 
Just a few minutes into the Oscar's we we have the first costume mishap of the night by Jennifer Lopez.  Here is my favorite part of the mishap.  I was texting Tru Stories as the phone rang.  I did not even look at caller id.  I knew it was TS.  I said, I was just texting you.  The Kid said the dress was gross.  Hoping he did not notice the mishap.  Glad the first big award went to The Help. 
Saw the Ellen commercial.  Loved it.  Better than any of Super Bowl commercials that were on this year.  TS just told me the Ellen commercials are the center of a controversy.  I will shop at Penney's more now. 
There was a big let down tonight when I realized that the Oprah after the Academy Awards show will not be on tomorrow.  That was always one of my favorite Oprah shows of the year. 
The show has been on for one hour.  Only one real award has been given out.  That is the part I dislike about the Academy Awards.
Let me end this post with a word of warning.  Not every movie that wins an Oscar is worth watching.  Even if said movie is Directed by Robert Redford.  TS and I learned that lesson the hard way.  I insisted we watched, Like Water For Chocolates.  It had sub titles.  We kept watching waiting for something good to happen.  What happened is TS and I now have a movie that we love to joke about.  A nice bonding moment. 
Happy Oscar evening!
