I'm remembering to watch the Oscars! What that means is, run in here and type during commercial breaks. Expect this post to be edited a lot over the next few hours. :-) I will lj-cut eventually, don't worry.

Preshow, let me just say that Rachel Weisz is totally the one I'm rooting for for Best Supporting Actress-- loved her performance in The Constant Gardener, and just in general everything I've seen her in.

If Rachel Weisz by some chance doesn't win, then Michelle Williams better.

And since those are the two movies I've seen that they've talked about so far, off to check out the TV again.

Okay, a couple of guys are singing something about it being hard to be a pimp. Whaaaaaa??

Other people I'm rooting for-- Reese Witherspoon, Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line was very unfairly snubbed in the Best Picture category, have I mentioned this?), Heath Ledger.

Jane Seymour was carrying this tiny little sparkly black and silver guitar, and I want one.

I want to go hug Heath Ledger, he looks so cute. Okay, so that'd end with, "Ummm . . . security? There's a squeaking girl with frizzy hair clinging to me, help," but hey. ;-) And I love Michelle Williams's dress.

The less said about Tim Burton's hair, the better. O_o

I really do need to see Crash soon. And Capote. And Munich. And...

That was kindof cute. They did a 'star-crossed love' montage to Garth Brooks's song "The Dance" showing clips from The New World, Brokeback Mountain . . . and King Kong. The last choice did have me snickering at the TV, yes.

Oscars themselves behind the cut. :-)

Wow.

I went into the movie expecting to like it, expecting to enjoy the songs-- but this definitely surpassed 'like' and 'enjoy'. During "Get Rhythm" I was seriously trying not to clap along, and I loved the movie so much I didn't even mind that "A Boy Named Sue" wasn't featured.

We met up with a couple of friends of ours at the theater, Samantha and her sister Ronnie, and after the movie Sam asked what I thought of it and I said, "The movie will be mine, the soundtrack will be mine, and in a perfect world Joaquin Phoenix would be mine, too." Chris looked over at Ronnie and said, "Guess that means I'm with you," and I told him, "What are you talking about? I'm gonna have a harem!"

Which made some people nearby give me weird looks, but that's what being out in public with your friends is for. ;-)

In about five hours, I'll be in the theater watching Walk the Line. :-)

New Walk the Line pictures!

I can't wait for that movie to come out. And not just because of my severe dorky crush on Joaquin Phoenix. ;-)

I remember when I was little Dad would sing parts of A Boy Named Sue, which would always end up with me insisting that no way was that a real song, Dad insisting it was, and the mock-argument would get going yet again.

Then when I was a teenager, one of the college plays we did was an original piece, written by the director. It was called Cuthbert, and it was about a young man facing his fears of trains and clowns to go find out some secrets about his family. Bizarre, bizarre piece of work (and I got to play a drunken clown. That was interesting. Hee). Anyway, one of the songs we played during intermission was Ring of Fire.

Don't really know too much about the romance between Johnny and June Carter Cash, but I have a feeling after I see this movie I'm going to have a new fandom/be buying a bunch of CDs. :-)
