Red carpet rundown.

Jason is out of town, so I sat and watched the end of the Oscars tonight after putting the kiddies down.  I quite enjoyed it, although sometimes I look at all the money spent on everything there, and get a little queasy. But!  The gowns were lovely, and I guess rich people can throw themselves a big old party if they want to. Here were the highlights for me:  

First:  the musical presentation of Slumdog Millionaire and Wall-e songs.  It was incredible. I liked it as much as I did Radiohead's Grammy performance, which I liked A LOT.

Second:  Kate Winslet's father whistling to her.  (I shed a tear.)

Third:  Spying a moody Edward Cullen over the should of Oscar-nominee Mickey Rourke.  Look out, Mickey!  There is a brooding vampire behind you!!!!!
