as a south pacific region comrade of peter jackson's, i support his complete lack of personal grooming. yay for him!
and anyway, i thought it was a pretty shocking night for frocks all round... too many flesh coloured dresses with drab blonde hair, so hair, frock and skin were all the same colour... yuck. and WHAT WAS UP WITH UMA THURMAN'S FROCK??? she looked like a goatherd gone horribly horribly wrong.
my friends and i have our own oscar's night (called the smoshkas) where we watch the broadcast, and dress up as a character from the year's films (i went as lara croft), and have a quiz, and vote for our own awards, the smoshkas. such as
The Blockbuster Award (because it really should have gone straight to video) went to Dumb and Dumberer
The Alan Smithee Directorial Achievement Award (they really shouldn't have put their own name on it) went to Ang Lee for the Hulk.
The Goldie Hawn Best Augmented Facial or Follicle Feature Award went to Johnny Depp's eyeliner in POTC
The Save an African Nation Film of the Year (not worth a peanut, but the budget could have fed millions) went to the Matrixes Rehashed.
and many others! hurrah for oscar!
