My Oscar Notes
Gwyneth Paltrow - Even members of the itty bitty titty committee need to wear bras. Especially the ones that have tits like an orangutan.
Cameron Diaz - Combs and brushes please. Thanks. She looked like she hadn’t combed her shit in a week. You have money bitch. Spend it.
J-Lo - She looked like she was hiding some Cuban refugees in her hair. What was “up” with that shit?
Julia Roberts - I love her just as much as the next Julia fan but did it not escape her attention that Denzel’s wife was in the audience? She was humping his leg like a dog in heat. Down girl!
Whoopi - They need to have her back. She was hilarious. By far the funniest I’ve seen in a long time. I actually watched the whole telecast cause she was cracking me up. I usually skip award shows.
Sidney Poitier = Foreshadowing for the events to come but still a well deserved Oscar.
Halle Berry - You go girl. I loved her speech. Her reaction was priceless. I was sitting in my living room and when they called her name I started screaming and crying like a little bitch. So very happy. You made history.
Denzel Washington - I was happy for him as well although I would have been just as happy if Will Smith had won. That there were two black men nominated in the best actor category on one night made me ecstatic.
On the note of colored people winning Oscars -
I was glad for both Halle and Denzel. It was a long time coming. I couldn’t help but feel a sting for Whoopi though. Here she is watching history being made when it probably should have been her that made the history for her role as Celie in “The Color Purple”. She stepped outside of the box on that one and every time I watch that movie I am reminded of the anger I felt when it was shut out of the Academy Awards all those years ago.
Yes, this is a happy occasion for people of color. There are still great strides that need to be made. I can’t help but worry that this is going to be the only time that it happens and colored actors will be forever stuck in that vacuum of Susan Lucci-ism that never ends. Let us pray.
