Well, you knew Coraline wasn’t going to win. We all did. I actually teared up a few times when Up did win it’s various awards, especially for Best Score. I thought the music from that movie was very sweet.
Let’s talk Gaiman.
First of all, color me pleasantly surprised that the picture he tweeted before was the jacket unfinished. DOH! Me = stupid. The final result was very clean and very dapper. Not grey and panel-y and weird at all. Check him out, checking us out, in his hotel bathroom. Why oh why did I develop a crush on you so late in life? And by late I mean too late to snag you myself, lol? Amanda Palmer, you are one lucky lady.
The most endearing picture to come out of the Oscars regarding our dark haired writer is from the LA Times. The newspaper was taking these panorama pictures of the red carpet for their website and captured a really cute moment. Check out Gaiman pondering Rachel McAdam’s watercolor print Elie Saab gown.
What are you thinking Gaiman? ”That’s pretty. Just don’t step on it.” LOL
So Neil… sorry you didn’t win. Sorry you couldn’t have Amanda there with you. And I am very very sorry that yesterday was the anniversary of your father’s death. It was a bittersweet day, but you handled it with humor and grace. Nicely done.
I put this on Twitter earlier today but it seems to keep coming up in the news. So the question is: what happens if you text “dolphin” to the number the feature-length documentary guys flashed at us before ABC cut-away?
If you watched the Oscars last night you was the Mrs. Garrett look-alike burst onto the stage and totally hijack some documentary filmaker’s acceptance speech. Apparently she was a co-producer at one point, but because of creative differences between herself and the man that won, she sued him & HBO films. She left the production over a year ago.
The Oscar nominations were announced this morning.
