Oscar Winner Jim Rash Hysterically Mimics Angelina Jolie While Accepting Award! - http://popgoestheweek.com/2012...
"Not a word was spoken, but Oscar winner Jim Rash had the audience roaring when, just moments after Angelina Jolie announced that he had won an Academy Award, he mocked her strange pose on the stage. Jolie had taken the stage to announce the winners for both Best Original and Adapted screenplay. The first thing the world probably noticed was just how skinny she looked. (Damn, I could floss with those arms!) Any buzz about that was likely replaced by seeing her strike an almost comedic pose: hand on hip, leg jutted out revealing her right leg, peeking out from a thigh high slit in her gown. She let out an odd chesty laugh for no apparent reason as she adjusted her posture. Then, she announced the nominees. The winner for best adapted screenplay were the writers for “The Descendants.” They included Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, and Jim Rash. Moments after taking the stage, Rash immediately assumed the same pose Jolie had taken just moments before. The audience laughed, perhaps a little...

Oscars 2012: Redefining glamour on the red carpet - latimes.com - http://www.latimes.com/feature...
"Despite a growing embrace of environmentalism among many designers, so-called sustainable fashion continues to conjure notions of burlap. Awards show commentators rarely use the term — elegance just isn't synonymous with eco-friendly living. But at the Academy Awards, Missi Pyle, part of the ensemble cast of"The Artist," will walk the red carpet in a flowing blue gown made from organic silk, hand-dyed with natural mineral pigments and lined with recycled polyester. The gown was designed by Valentina Delfino, one of hundreds of designers around the world who submitted sketches to the third annual sustainable couture competition known as Red Carpet Green Dress in the hopes of presenting their creations on the most glamorous — and watched — red carpet in the world. Pyle is the first actress in an Oscar-nominated film to wear the annual competition's winning design. She was selected for her willowy, 5-foot-11-inch frame, her interest in sustainability — and all the attention surrounding...

The reason VO is easy for you is because you are hired to sound like you (and bring your audience to the theater). If you get hired to play a part, it's a bit harder.
But I agree that stripping wood is much harder work.
- Spidra Webster
But, I think that part of his point was that he isn't asked to stretch for parts.

I didn't say it well, but people who do VO and don't do on-camera work, the folks who've been doing that work for years, they get hired because they work hard and have the resultant talent. So blowing it off is something of an insult to all the non-famous faces that actually work hard in that field.
- Spidra Webster
Got it! That makes sense. And, I imagine there are people who can do both well, too, and they probably wouldn't make those comments. Of course, if the words weren't scripted for him, they were certainly approved by the show producers, so that is telling.

I love Colin Firth

Did Meryl and Oprah get on the phone and say "hey, let's wear sparkly gold!"

I wish to god McCarthy would get the costumer from Gilmore Girls to do her awards show styling. That costumer knows how to make her look her best!
The dress is alright, but I really think she can obtain better.

During the red carpet part, she said her accessories, at least, were made by a friend of hers (from design school, maybe). Apparently, she'll be coming out with a clothing line in the near future. I didn't know she went to school for fashion design. She said something along those lines.
- Katy S
Her outfit is SPECTACULAR.

She looks like Hell. Seriously. Give her a sandwich or 200.
that lipstick does not flatter her complexion

At one point during the Red Carpet part, Robin Roberts' microphone went out and it hasn't been right since then.
Hooray! The velvet tux won!

Wow, oldest actor ever to win an Oscar.

Wow, von Sydow and Plummer up for the same award! Can't imagine that happening for actresses in their 80s.

The Ustream I was watching got yanked down right in the middle of it.

Finally found another stream. Missed the dog, apparently.

I'm sure they'll show the dog again.
