The Oscars Were Amazing & Boring

Let’s be honest here; until the last half hour, the Oscars were pretty much boring. 

We knew Monique was going to win, and everything was not a shock or least bit amusing until the end.  Alec Baldwin & Steve Martin were good.  They did not run too long or do anything unneeded.

Weather George Clooney was really upset or it was all part of an act was the only thing interesting until the end.

Then came best actress.  When I saw Oprah out there, I am like there is NO way Sandra Bullock is going to win the Oscar.  I was like the girl from “Precious” in her first role is getting it.

So, yes, I was shocked when Sandra Bullock’s name was announced.  I was happy. She was stunned.   Having to hear for months from Julia Roberts how she turned down the role for ” The Blind Side” like it was  something beneath her, I was worried.   I was worried that Sandra would not get roles that would garner her an Oscar let alone a nomination.   I am happy to think that now any movie that has Sandra in it will have in the credits Academy Award Winner Sandra Bullock.  I like the sound of that a lot.

The Best Actor going to Jeff Bridges was not a surprise because the Academy usually gives it to roles like that.  Perhaps George knew that and that he was not going to win. 

Then, came the big ones.  I think James Cameron already had a place in mind where he was going to put his Oscars in his house.  Barbra Streisand came out and already I was like….hmmm…something interesting is about to happen.  Interesting indeed as when Kathryn Bigalow’s name was read, shock then applause went through the crowd.  Yes,  James Cameron was married to her so it was interesting that an ex-wife and ex-husband went against each other in the same category but it is not what defines her.

Then came the big one and Tom Hanks, and everyone was like OK, she got best director but “Avatar” is def getting best picture.   I was stunned and the entire crowd was left with mouths open as Tom announced “The Hurt Locker” and it went from a boring Oscars to an Oscars to be remembered as an underdog war movie trumped a James Cameron movie.

An interesting show and some other notable moments:

Ben Stiller dressed as a character from Avatar.

Farah Fawcett being left off the list of those who passed this year.  I guess when you die the same day as Michael Jackson, everyone forgets about you. 

Also, Bea Arthur was left off the memoriam list as well.  Tre lame.

The John Hughes tribute was brilliant.  Sigh.

George Clooney & Stars Raise $58 Million For Haiti

George Clonney lit up the SAG Awards last night, joking around onstage, greeting people off stage, but he will most remember this weekend for what he did Friday night.

George was the key in getting the “Hope For Haiti” event off the ground.  George got MTV on board first and then started contacting celebs to either perform, talk, or pick up the phones and take donations. 

In that, they were able to raise $58 million on Friday night alone.  An amazing feat and in the end, we are sure there will be even more money raised. 

Thank you George and everyone else who contributed to the “Hope For Haiti” event.-Dr.FB

George Clooney was a stud on the Red Carpet last night. Not only did he look great in his tux, but the rain would not stop him reaching up to sign autographs for fans.

His movie “Up In The Air” did well on Award night but he left empty-handed.  Well, not exactly.  He still had Elisabetta Canalis to go home with.-Dr.FB

I hope George Clooney knows some photogs can get a great view of his guests on his patio deck.  Either that our he will def be doing something about it soon. 

Cindy Crawford was there chilling with her daughters, which we did not use a photo of, while at George Clooney’s pad in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

The supermodel looked lean and mean and still beautiful.  She is still hotness personified even while just lounging around getting a suntan.

I have to wonder, with that suntan lotion behind her, was she waiting for us to get her back for her?  Hmm.-Dr.FB

The amazing George Clooney & Elisabetta Canalis were in Venice for a movie festival.

George Clooney is also being charitable again, putting up a lot of money to see his ex girlfriend Lisa Snowden jump out of an airplane….although I am sure a lot of us would love to see our ex jump out of a plane, but this is for 2 children’s charities.

Lisa had no idea til recently the amount of money George put up for it and was pleasently surprised. George Clooney amazes again.-Dr.FB

So how long will this one last? As long as George is happy, I really don’t care. George Clooney is now dating Elisabetta Canalis, an Italian actress and host of MTV Italy’s Total Request Live. That is a far cry from a cocktail waitress.

They were seen biking around yesterday and have appeared quite cozy in photos. There were rumors last month he was about to shack up with his last girlfriend but that is obviously just not true.

George has been living the bachelor lifestyle but not playing the field no more than anyone else in his position. BTW, George has a home in Italy, aside from the one he owns in Los Angeles.-Dr.FB
