Burning Questions from the Oscars
While we're still marveling at Blogger Baby's on-the-money "Crash" prediction (we're going to Vegas, baby!) -- bringing his predictions to a strong 7-0 -- a few other questions we were left with after watching last night's telecast:
:: What was Jake Gyllenhaal mouthing to the camera when it went to him for the best supporting actor category?
:: Did "Crash" producer Cathy Shulman really thank both "my husband and my wife" right before being cut off at the podium? Which is it? (UPDATE: According to Variety, she meant to say "my daughter.")
:: Who was that busy on their BlackBerry while the camera caught Philip Seymour Hoffman in the audience? (UPDATE: Defamer, of course, has this goods: It was fellow nominee Catherine Keener!)
:: TaB is now a pink energy drink targeted toward women? Is anyone really going to drink that stuff?
:: Did I miss it, or did they totally diss Don Knotts in the dead people montage?
:: This year's hot trend: Props (penguins, bow ties) and shout-outs to mom (Philip Seymour Hoffman, among others). Also, several attendees were hip to both, bringing their moms as props.
:: M. Night Shyamalan's American Express ad: Be honest, does anyone really come up to you and ask about "The Village"?
:: What happened to George Pennacchio's gaudy sweater vests, the ones that his... um, wife would sew every year featuring icons of the five nominated movies? Bring 'em back!
