Damn, Alison Janney over Laurie Metcalf!

I wonder what this means for Lady Bird. I'm pulling for Saoirse.

[Nordly Beaumont]

I can't stop looking at how shiny Allison Janney's hair is!

LASER CATS! 

Yes, thank you!  I get the giggles just thinking about those skits!

[Misslindsey]

I was rooting for Allison, Laurie, or Octavia. Either of them winning would have been fine with me.

Hey, it's the guy who took Mahershala Ali's Globe!  No, I'm not bitter...

At least Mahershala got the Oscar...

[bmoore4026]

Wow, Tanya Harding is there?  And she looks kind of good!?  Good for her!

[TheOtherOne]

Bleh. Allison Janney wins everything. Laurie Metcalf was robbed.

[mtlchick]

Alison's praise for Tonya Harding is...I'm not sure.  I bet Nancy Kerrigan has some thoughts about that.  

 

Kirk Douglas is still alive.  God bless him.

They are all gems that make everything they are in better by their sheer presence. 

[Browncoat]

Kirk Douglas is a national treasure.

[formerlyfreedom]

Oh, Catherine....  (facepalm)

Tonya got some cheers actually.

Since he was before my time, it's uncanny how similar Kirk and Michael Douglas sound.

Agree on the Tonya comments.  Um, no.  Not gonna contribute to her.

[mojoween]

Catherine Zeta-Jones’s dress is terrible.  I thought she and Michael had gotten divorced but I guess not.

[Fostersmom]

Really, I almost feel like Kirk has no idea where he's even at. This is just exploitive at this point.

Oh, no one gives a care about Kerrigan, especially when that Ukrainian ice skater who won gold and revealed what bitch she was.

And Kirk Douglas being there is awesome, but you can't understand him.  Kind of sad.

[thuganomics85]

Holy crap, seems the Globes are quite a fan of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri!

[Spartan Girl]

Kirk really is 101. Could barely understand him. Poor guy.

[CherryMalotte]

They'll put Kirk back in his coffin after the show....


Yes I'm going to hell...and have the complimentary handbasket.

[sally-can-wait]

I do not get the love for Three Billboards. I could not stand that movie. 

[Browncoat]

Well, he did have a stroke or two.  I thought he did well, all things considered.

I wish I loved it as much as they do.

[Corgi-ears]

Catherine Zeta-Jones' cleavage comes down to...well, Kirk.

[Neeners]

Me yelling to hubby (who is in the other room), "Kurt Douglas is 101 and he's there in a wheelchair. Everyone is giving him a standing ovation...even Steadman!"

Hubby to me, "Is his mouth closed?"

 Very mean.

Unfortunately, my kind of humor :)

[Bewitched]

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if my father-in-law was sitting beside me in a wheelchair, I would not want my barely covered ass to be right at his eye-level.   So tired of sheer dresses.

She said he was home with the kids on the red carpet. But given the kids are pretty darn old, he should have been there since they were trotting his 101 year old dad out like a stage prop. Or maybe, that's exactly why he isn't there.

I agree to a point.  I remember when he had his stroke years ago and presented(?) at the Oscars -- he wanted to show that a stroke does not mean one's life is over or not valued.  So in that respect, I appreciate that he is willing to put himself out there.

But I also understand the "exploitive" sentiment.

Thought Catherine looked great and she did well with the aged Kirk.

And I'll be followin' right behind because I was thinking the same thing.

[sally-can-wait]

Wait. Retta is going to be in a new show?! Yay.

[TheOtherOne]

Okay, I'll say it. I thought it was common knowledge that Kirk Douglas raped Natalie Wood. Honoring him in the year of #metoo seemed like a gross misstep.

[jjj]

If we remove Mr. Douglas from this image, is Catherine Z-J's black dress really sending the message of "time's up"?  I love racy fashion, but reveal the top or the bottom, not both.

Wait 'til we get to Oprah and I go into how she ruined Cody from Step by Step's career.

What women wear is not relevant.  Or shouldn't be, at least.

Whoa!  Hadn't heard that one.  Do tell all!

I swear I was having a Hammer Horror moment and was expecting Peter Cushing to pull a Van Helsing and start pounding on him with a stake.

Here all week...try the veal!

[thuganomics85]

Hugh Grant is an odd choice to introduce Dunkirk.  Couldn't get one of the actual stars like Kenneth Branagh or Mark Rylance?

Read Suzanne Finstead’s biography of Natalie Wood.  She doesn’t mention him by name but the pieces fit.

[ivygirl]

The foreign film guy kinda botched that saying—“if you see a cop, Warn a Brother”...

wonder how many caught that, LOL

[sally-can-wait]

So what's the gossip on Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson. Are they still together?

[TheOtherOne]

Apparently it happened when she was 15. She told a lot of friends about it, though obviously he was never charged. I just tried to do a Google search for it...and the first thing that came up was Twitter, where everyone is talking about it, so I guess I'm not the only one who heard about it:

Complaining about Oksana is hardly the same as Tonya paying to have her opponent assaulted. Tonya has never apologized, never shown remorse for her role in the crime. Yeah, she grew up in shitty circumstances. That's not an excuse.

[mtlchick]

Diana Kruger won?  Where the hell have i been?

My thoughts exactly. Also, Catherine's dress? Missed the point, girlie. Whole family seems out of step.

No, I think the word was that she cheated on him.

https://t.co/LiF5INsuxQ Nope!  

[thuganomics85]

Yay, Ewan!  I had some issues with the third season of Fargo, but the acting pretty much on point.

[ShadowHunter]

I'm fine with Ewan winning. Kyle was good on Twin Peaks but that was about it.
