The Oscars are not something I wait anxiously for, but they are entertaining to watch. I spent the evening curled up with D half watching and half surfing the internet for things like a new epson receipt printer for the home office. I sat up and took notice when Taylor Lautner and Kirsten Stewart went on stage. Kirsten always looks so bored and unhappy to be on stage. Um, aren’t you an actress? Aren’t you happy to be famous? If not, stop acting!! And then when she just straight up had a huge hacking cough on stage? Terrible!!

The most noteable of the night was Sandra Bullock winning for Best Actress. She gave a beautiful and gracious speech and she looked like a classic Hollywood movie star in her dress. She gets best dressed for the night in my book. I really need to watch The Blind Side after seeing all of the clips for the movie. It looked like Bullock really gave her best performance. But was it just me or did she seem kind of upset when they called her name? Maybe it was because she just didn’t expect it. Maybe it was because she was nervous, but her face when she first won just didn’t look very happy. I half expected a bad speech, but then she got up there and gave the best speech of the night!

The best picture going to The Hurt Locker just bugged the crap out of me. Given, the academy didn’t have much to go on this year. The nominees weren’t all that great, and I didn’t actually see any of the other movies, but The Hurt Locker was crap in my opinion. Yes it was topical, yes there were some intense moments, but overall it was just a moody movie about a shitty guy who happens to be a soldier. To me, the message of the film is that there are some men who are bad at being dads and are just addicted to adrenaline.

Now on to the most entertaining things for me, the worst dressed.  Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress. D had the best quote for it:
Hello this is Potato, you’re wearing my sack!” Hehehe. The top was fairly pretty, and her makeup was beautiful, but the rest of the dress? Ew. She has a great figure, show it off!

Miley Cyrus looked like she was stuffed into her gown. Her broad shoulders made her look like a linebacker in a dress. I do not approve.

Zoe Saldana could barely move in her dress. The top is ok, but what the heck happened to the bottom? It looks like fake carnations, or possibly cupcake frosting. Either way, not a dress.

Yes, I admit I am among the millions of fans anxiously awaiting the second big screen adaptation of the Twilight Series, New Moon. While this is my least favorite book of the series, it sets the stage for the next books, and introduces Jacob as a werewolf. Judging by the previews, it’s also full of sexy shirtless men, which is always fun.
While these beautiful teens are anything but typical, they also must use the best acne treatment because none of them are plagued with bad skin, nasty hair, or the other awkwardness of teenage years. Not that I’m complaining mind you. I love looking at these hunks!

Here’s a couple of new sneak peek just released for the Comic Con in San Diego. The first one shows Bella getting reckless on her motorcycle trying to conjure up visions of Edward. In the book, she hears Edward in her head, which would probably be weird for a movie. I like what the director has done by showing a vision of Edward instead. What do you think?

The second clip is from the last chapter of the book. I’m not sure why Comic Con decided to release such a giveaway, but I guess they figure everyone’s read the book and knows what to expect. Anyways, it’s the scene where Bella and Alice race through Italy on their way to stop Edward from revealing his sparkly skin to the humans.
