Oscars Seth MacFarlane

IT’S TIME TO UPDATE THE OSCARS

No wonder The Oscars are losing more of their audience every year. A huge percentage of the three and a half hour show was made up of technical awards in which groups of unfamiliar men in tuxedos got up and thanked everyone in Hollywood who might give them their next job. It’s exhausting, self indulgent, and downright BORING. In other words, NOT entertaining. That’s why viewers drift. Seth MacFarlane was fine (and a surprisingly good singer,) the musical numbers were nice, but the rest of the show needs a major overhaul.

Fashion Glasses Oscars Renee Zellweger

RENEE ZELLWEGER HAD A BRIDGET JONES MOMENT ON THE OSCARS

There was considerable discussion about WHAT Renee Zellweger was ON that caused her to fidget onstage when she was lined up with several presenters on The Oscars. Twice she was handed THE ENVELOPE to announce the winner, and both times she looked stricken and awkwardly passed it on to another presenter. We think she simply refuses to wear reading glasses. She was able to read the prompter at a distance, but up close – NO WAY – so she handed the envelopes to someone who would read them right. She’s 43 now, and like Bridget Jones, maybe she doesn’t like to be reminded of it. Her gold dress DID look rather spectacular.

Imitation Jermaine Jacksun Michael Jackson Money

IS JERMAINE MORPHING INTO THE NEW MICHAEL JACKSON?

Jermaine Jacksun (yes, he changed the spelling of his name) seems to be trying to step into his brother Michael’s shoes now that he’s gone. Perhaps motivated by money problems (his book flopped and the brothers’ tour isn’t doing well) Jermaine has been wearing Michael’s trademark black jeans and military jackets – and even losing tons of weight to be slim like Michael. He’s DYING for attention. According to the NY Post, insiders are puzzled by this peculiar turn of events, and figure Jermaine’s huge debts and frustration at not getting a chunk of Michael’s 2 billion dollar estate has something to do with it.

Annie Best Actress Quvenzhane Wallis Willow Smith

OSCAR NOMINEE QUVENZHANE WALLIS IS ALREADY ON EASY STREET

Nine year old Best Actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis (pronounced Kwe-VEN-zhah-nay) doesn’t need to win an Oscar – she already won the plum role of Annie in the modernized movie based on the Broadway musical. Will and Jada Smith are among the producers and their daughter Willow was eager to play the part, but the movie took a couple of years to develop and Willow simply got too tall. Besides the movie she was nominated for, “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” Quvenzhane has finished “Twelve Years a Slave” with Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender. Something tells us she’ll be nipping at Willow’s heels for a long time to come.
