Randomness: Oscar Notes 2013

I’m  foregoing the live blog this year as it keeps me from actually enjoying the show itself.  Instead I’m tracking random thoughts that pop up during the night.

5:34pm – While 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis is not short on attitude, I do love that she picked her dress because it was “sparkly and fluffy” and that she didn’t let a stylist talk her out of  carrying a puppy purse named Sammy.

5:45pm – It’s Daniel Radcliffe!  Cutiepie!  And, bless his heart, one of the few people shorter than Ryan Seacrest.

5:59pm – How cute is it that Joseph Gordon-Levitt came with Sally Fields?  I’m always surprised how low his voice is.

6:18pm – So 49-year-old Helen Hunt looks old and 75-year-old Jane Fonda looks fabulous!

6:47pm – We’ve been on this remote location with still photos for a while now.  Did E! News loose their live feed?

6:49pm – Oh, ABC started at 6:30 this year instead of 7.  Bummer, their red carpet coverage is never as good.

6:50pm – I take it back.  Hugh Jackman picking up Kristen Chenoweth and his wife in each arm is pretty cute.

7:05pm – Oh my gosh, I love Adele and her accent!  I can’t understand a word she’s saying.

7:07pm – Oops, audio difficulties.  Guess you don’t cut Sandra Bullock off so you can adjust your settings.

7:40pm – Nice!  Seth McFarlane you’re winning me over. Long but very funny opening.

8:05pm – Hellooooo Avengers!  That’s a whole lotta yum.

8:27pm – Wow, I didn’t know you could make James Bond so boring but this montage…zzzz…

9:19pm – Great Sound of Music gag!

10:03pm – Well hello, Barbra.

10:32pm – I like Seth McFarlane but this is becoming a rather boring telecast.

10:44pm – Oh, Jennifer Lawrence, I think you’re the most authentic person in the room.  You make even a fall work for you!

10:45pm – Smart and funny intro for Meryl Streep.

10:51pm – Daniel Day-Lewis is eloquent and charming as always.

10:53p – How fun!  Michelle Obama.  I really like her.

11:02pm – Seth/Kristen, you guys are cute but we’re tired, please don’t expect us to sit through you closing number.

11:03pm – High points (Seth’s humor, some of the musical numbers) and low points (boring montages, some of the musical numbers) make this year a mixed bag.  What were your favorite moments?

See ya next year!
