You’re sweet, Sarah, because I didn’t feel my sum-up did it justice. I missed mentioning the Kanye moment with that woman who was about as understandable as Paula on Idol. And then Sean Penn’s crazy I-take-myself-way-too-seriously intro that no one understood. And yes, George did seem a wee bit grouchy. But at least during the monologue I figured it was kind of a show. I notice Jack hasn’t been in the front row lately with his own grouchy face and famous shades; maybe George is taking his place? And as for the hair, I just gotta give it to him. I figure he’s earned the right to let his hair just lie there. The Zac Efron, after all, is so much work.

Holy cow! Your review is almost as good as the *actual show*. There’s really very little I want to add… I mean, Charlize’s rose placement? Not cool. Anna Kendrick: gorgeous dress, but a bit washed out. Sandra Bullock’s speech was my favorite of the night. I’ve rewatched it 3 times this morning already.

Was it just me or did George Clooney seem kind of grumpy last night? And I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling his hair. Even though, you know, George knows I love him. (I <3 you, George!…One can never say it too many times, right?)

My Oscar predictions were terrible. I was so sure Meryl and Avatar were going to pull some upsets last night, so I was all "Ooh, I know Sandra is the frontrunner, but…ooh, I know The Hurt Locker has this all, er, locked up (sorry.), but…" Needless to say, it hurt my score. I think I got 13/24. And maybe 4 of those were lucky guesses. *blush*

Anyway, I was going to do a recap, but after reading yours, there's not really no point. Summed up perfectly. Oh, Oscars, how I love thee! Come again soon!

I’ve watched alone for years, missing dress discussions with girlfriends and my mom.

Neil Patrick Harris graduated from high school with my husband (they took drama together…funny!).

I loved the personal approach the Oscars took this year with the best actor and actress categories. Very meaningful for those nominated.

Oh, yes, I should have put “Jesse James’ tears” on the list. And he’s not a trucker, though he is an “or something”. :) He makes custom motorcycles and also, you know, does dangerous things.

I knew you would do an awesome write up about the Oscars-I’m so glad. It had me from Neil Patrick Harris on, I was entranced. Thanks for letting me relive through your words, love it!

When Fox and Friends played a snippet of Sandra Bullock’s acceptance speech, I almost teared up. I think it was the camera shot of her trucker husband doing the same thing that got me. (isn’t he a trucker or something?)

Great post. Almost as good as watching the show. Which I intend to do in bits & pieces this week thanks to DVR. (why didn’t I record it on the tv near the treadmill????)

I’m such a people person too! To me, the idea of not talking for more than, say, an hour is terrifying.

I love people. I live for people. I go crazy without people.

I love the rabbit trails reference! Sometimes my mind keeps racing and I think, “How on Earth did my mind go all the way there and is there any way that it’s normal?” Great post, as always!

I’m with you. My blog has been so silent this week. I just can’t “make” the time for it that I sometimes do. Nothing special, just wanting to hang with the family. Oh, and pass my classes and eventually graduate. : )
