If you're thinking "Holy shit! Holy shit! A swordfish almost went though my head!" If so, then yes.

The first thing I ever heard about Inglorious Basterds back during Cannes was all about Christoph Waltz. So congratulations for a well-deserved Oscar. When all the buzz about the new Quentin movie revolves around YOU, you must be doing something pretty special.



YAY!! Best original song goes to T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham for Crazy Heart. You know I'm in law school cause this is a Maggie Gyllenhaal flick and it's been down the street from my school for ages and I still haven't seen it. I can't help it, man, I saw Tender Mercies, y'know? Which I liked and enjoyed, but I'm not sure how different this one is.

"I love you more than rainbows, baby." Somehow, particularly for Crazy Heart, he made it work.

Did you know my husband doesn't like District 9? I know, I don't get it, either.

WOO!! Hurt Locker won best original screenplay. I think this is a sign of Best Picture things to come...

Molly Ringwald presenting? Goddamn why did she have to have surgery. Ah, is it time for In Memoriam? Holy shit, no! It's just a huge John Hughes tribute! Aw, goddamn, I wasn't expecting this, I'm drinking... Wow, they're really going out for this tribute, which they have never done before. I'm not saying it's undeserved, it's just...surprising.

I know they're trying to get younger viewers, but that's not really a younger viewers move. That's a my generation move...

Aaaah, they're doing a tribute?? I must catch this on youtube tomorrow!!

(She had surgery? I just assumed she looked different because age changed her a bit... but I guess not?)

It was ages ago, I think she had a nose job. Yikes.

(Also, Christoph Waltz was TERRIFIC in that movie, I'm tickled he got an Oscar!)

Awww, that tribute was really lovely. I'm still stunned they went all out like that. Fuckin' a.
