Was something amiss? I was so excited for Neil Patrick Harris to host the 87th Academy Awards presentation, however, shortly after his fun opening number, I immediately missed the comedy of Ellen! There was star power, but where were the legends? Nicholson, Spielberg, Angelina’s leg, Hopkins, Pharrell’s hat, Hans Solo, Benifer, Streisand? Jennifer Lopez found a way to get invited, again. There was fashion. Adam Levine’s wife was there, Emma Stone looked gorgeous. Oprah was there. There were movies, but I think the show missed something. I’ve got it—Adela Dazeem!
The Red Carpet
Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry, who? Adrien Brody and Carmen Electra?
I thought I had a Bjork sighting, but far too few feathers to be her.
America Fererra or Jordan Sparks? Go!
will.i.am. – The ruling on the field, fumble!
Shaun Robinson a few award shows too late. Yellow was Golden Globes.
Meryl Streep dressed to impress at her next job interview.
Ahhhhhhhhh *RBF* that’s how I feel about you too Scar Jo.
She finally got rid of that slug of a husband. Just kidding, as long as he is in “Filming Magic Mike” shape.
Solange Knowles in a straight jacket as to prevent her from going ape shit and beating someone.
Is Zendaya one of Madonna’s kids or a Jolie-Pitt?
I want Diane Warren’s jacket. I do!
Who said stars don’t wash their own dishes?
Her Kentucky Derby hat fell off, but her shoulder caught it.
Then things got real weird, especially when Travolta got handsy with Scar Jo and called her, SsssssseeI’mNotAHomo.
I don’t know, I feel like it’s trying to be Laura Ingalls Wilder goes to the Oscars.
J. Lo will have her murdered after the show.
Faith Hill needs to go back to the blonde bob. Her dress isn’t awful but reminds me of a 1980’s Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters dress.

The Show
Did anyone else get chills during the opening segment when Anna Kendrick came in and harmonized with NPH? Or did you have a flashback to the 80’s and Rob Lowe’s infamous song and dance with Snow White?
I love that Lupita Nyong’o’s brother is sitting next to Jack Black! Remember him basically boxing his sister out of the famous selfie from last year?
They said there will be more African Americans at this years Oscars than ever. Who thought, “Let’s get Eddie Murphy?”
Documentary Short winner is a cat’s fuzzy ball dream.
Just when you thought nothing could be worse than the dancing banana in Katie Perry’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, “Everything Is Awesome” happened at the Oscars.
NPH in tighty whiteies? He’s invited back next year!
Oh look, it’s Patricia Arquette reading from a piece of paper, at a microphone, holding an award…..again. We all knew you were going to win, including you, memorize, you’re an actress!
Jennifer Hudson’s power number, “Can’t Let Go”, from the tv show SMASH was a little much after the death montage, but he looked stunning!!
She HATES him!
“Why are you touching my face?”
“Why is he still touching my face?”
“I hate him.”
“Benedict Cumberbatch, it’s not only the most awesome name in show business, it’s also the sound you get when you ask John Travolta to announce Ben Affleck.”
Was it me or did Steve Carell have several doppelgängers in the audience? Patricia Arquette’s man, the dude behind John Legend when he won….
The new Ben and Matt…..Common and John.
Bradley Cooper’s mother ain’t got time for that(standing ovation)!
John Legend and Common are hot! That’s all.
Gaga killed it!! Effortless. Stunning! Then Maria! Stop it!!!
Oh man, that young man, Graham Moore, wow how personal and inspirational. And yes, thank you Oprah! And then Uncle Jesse standing and clapping with a proud look. Tears. “Stay weird. Stay different.”
John Travolta is still touching Idena Menzel’s face backstage.
The Academy agreed with me, Boyhood was Boring. As. Hell.
Feeling bad for Michael, but excited for Eddie(so genuinely excited and surprised!!) and Julianne(finally! deserving!) and Birdman. I love NPH, but not his best effort tonight. I guess I’ll leave it at this because she makes everything better.
And the Winners of the 2015 Academy Awards
