Oscars 2014

I don't think Channing Tatum's done enough to be an Oscars presenter yet. I loved 21 Jump Street....But...

[Queequeg]

It'll happen.

McConnaughey's wearing a white tux and a waistcoat

[Queequeg]

I'm watching True Detective but his tuxedo is also super shrunk.

I think there should probably be an English proficiency test before you're allowed to give a speech.

And Denmark takes it! Helium wins best live action short.

[Sheilbh]

Probably not the night to wear a blazer made of your nan's sofa

[Sheilbh]

That's a surprise.

I'm actually a big fan of white dinner jackets.  It's got a Casablanca/Bryan Ferry in peak Roxy Music vibe. 

But this is California in winter, and an evening awards ceremony no less, not New Members Night at the BHCC or martinis and baccarat at the Monte Carlo.

Shameful.

ANGELA LANSBURY!

I'm also hoping this is the last Oscars where all the Tuxedos are 2009 Brooklyn tight. It's not flattering or elegant.

Tailored Fit and Slim Fitting is all the designer rage these days, with their high buttons and tapered legs. 

The rest of us, well, it's still going to be 1979 Toughskins in Husky size.

ANGELA LANSBURY!

Piss on her.  Fucking up Seelöwe with her museum bullshit.  Fuck that.

[Liep]

But we were robbed in best documentary and best foreign film.

[Sheilbh]

I'm glad Paolo Sorrentino's won an Oscar. Not convinced it should have been for the Great Beauty.

Ellen in the white suit is a little Droogy.

Edit: Oh U2....Fuck this, I'm going for a Twix.
