Good Morning, Blinders!
Did you watch the Oscars last night? Man, that was one tough gig for Seth McFarlane.
Blind Gossip readers went 3 for 4 in predicting the big winners! You correctly picked Jennifer Lawrence, Daniel Day Lewis, and Argo! Your only miss was for Best Director, which was given to Ang Lee. Overall, though, good job!
We have a BG12345 for you today… if we can get 100 of you to tell us what you loved or hated or what thrilled or annoyed or surprised you most about the 85th Oscars!
Let’s hear it, people!
Love, Ace
UPDATE: Lots of interesting comments! Let’s start!
Jennifer Lawrence stole the night in my opinion. What a confident and real young woman. Love her!
Yes! So happy she won!
I used to like Anne Hathaway, but after this awards season she became so irratating to me, still believe she deserved it though
loved jennifer hudson. annoyed that mrs obama presented the final award.
Ditto!
Anne Hathaway…gag. Loved Ben’s quick-fire but rambling thank you speech. So glad he won.
Loved Michelle Obama!
Hated how late it went.
The whole thing seemed amateurish and uneven to me. I kept thinking… This is Hollywood. A billion people are watching. GET IT TOGETHER! That said, I love everything about Jennifer Lawrence. Disliked the Adele-Rex Reed fat joke. Why was that necessary? That’s the only joke I found offensive.
Wow-that means you didn’t mind all his gay bashing, the Jew bashing, the alcoholic bashing, the Christian bashing and the women bashing? Geez. It really saddens me.
Loved Christoph Waltz’s win! Disliked seeing Anne Hathaway win ONLY bc she expected it way too much.
LOVED: Argo winning best movie
NOT LIKED: Anne Hathaway dress
I’m so happy for Jennifer Lawrence. Anne Hathaway can go away now.
+1
Loved Affleck’s speech and hated Kristin Stewart and her nasty hair and nasty attitude.
Loved: Barbara and the James Bond tribute.
Thrilled: Ang Lee’s Win
Jennifer Lawrence, in my personal opinion, is mediocre at best as an actress. I felt the award should’ve gone to Jessica Chastain but none the less I think she did deserve it.
Daniel Day-Lewis is an amazing actor but I just hope he takes a break for a while, he seems worn out with being in the spotlight so much.
I also think Sally Field or Jackie Weaver should’ve won. Anne Hathaway is amazing, I just felt that for Les Mis she was not present enough. But again, she is an amazing actress and she did deserve it.
I was bummed that Beasts of Southern Wild (to my knowledge) went home with no awards. I feel the film was amazing. I can’t wait to see more of Quvenzhané Wallis, she is such an amazing actress.
Loved Jennifer Lawrence laughing at herself
me too!
Loved Quvenzhane Wallis! So cute
Loved: all the acting winners, Quentin Tarantino, the Les Mis cast number
Loathed: the Jaws play-off music (so tacky), most of Seth McF’s stuff, and the “tribute” musical numbers that seemed like unnecessary or actually unwanted filler
Surprised: how much I enjoyed Mark Wahlberg and Ted. I haven’t seen that movie. I loved Ted’s Boston accent!
wellll…seth mcfarland is the voice of Ted, afterall.
I loved how real and down to earth Jennifer Lawrence seemed during the red carpet and when she won. Please let that be genuine, and please let her stay that way!!!
I hated (but wasn’t at all surprised by) Ben Affleck’s gross acceptance speech. I wish he’d just go away forever.
i’m with you!
Boob song, for sure!
Loved: Anything involving Jennifer Lawrence
Loathed: Anything involving Anne Hathaway
I thought Seth McFarlane did a good job. I’m really starting to dislike Anne Hathaway. The show was far too long. The lady who won for best hair and make up with the pink tights was highly offensive. You’re at the Oscars.
I almost died when I saw her pink tights!
I actually made it through the entire show without channel surfing!
cant stand ann hathaway
hated jennifer fell instead of anne, loved kristen stewart’s stink face!
Jennifer Lawrence is the best! Hste Batman’s lover
Didn’t like how Ben Affleck acted so smug towards Seth MacFarlane.
Aww… Idk if Ben is the sleazoid that the tabs claim he is but, Seth had just dissed him badly at this premier event where Ben is finally getting good recognition for perseverance, and for crawling out of the black hole of films he had gotten himself into, so Ben was furious and let Seth know, just as Christopher Plummer did in shooting Seth down after the Nazi uniform joke as well as Plummer hates being brought back to only the Sound of music for association in his huge career.
loved the sound of music bit.
Everything Jenny Lawrence was great!
I quite liked Seth McFarlane’s bits. I mean, we got exactly what you would expect to get from him so i appreciated his stuff for what it was. Obviously he wasn’t bringing his A game when it came to offending the audience because those are some of the most powerful people in the world there.
Liked Jennifer Lawrence’s fall, he laughing at herself and her speech and later flipping off the press backstage.
Liked Daniel Day Lewis winning and his speech.
Liked Adele winning and her beginning to tear up during. That was quite touching.
Hated how long it went.
Hated Anne Hatheway. God, everything she says seems to fake and calculated to please all the people who can get her places in her career. I know that is what you should do as an actor to a certain extent but she is REALLY laying it on thick. “It finally came true” *looks fondly at the statute* made me want to gag. Literally everything she has done after Dark Knight Rises has been making me more and more annoyed at her as time goes by.
Side note: i have similar feelings about Lena Dunham. Find her to be more and more annoying as the days pass. I think it’s due to her overexposure
Amen to the Lena Dunham comment. Talented or not, she comes across as so unlikeable and self-important — as though she’s a cultural icon. I tuned into Girls to see if I could get over my dislike of her and found the dialogue, which she mainly writes, just cringe worthy. Lena got lots of camera time at the Grammys of all places since she was with one of the big winners and that was annoying. Yup, I’m a Lena hater.
Loved: Daniel Day Lewis stating that he was supposed to play Margaret Thatcher.
Hated: Halle Berry (From her being at the Oscars to her appearance-OVER HER).
loved: Jennifer Lawrence’s everything
hated: Anne Hathaway is the Taylor Swift of the acting world. I CANT with her teeth and her bangs and her everything.
suprise: that jennifer garner is still relevant enough to be a presenter.
annoyed: kristin stewart’s hulking way. Crutches or not, she lumbers anyway.
Funny!
Sorry, I think these shows are annoying. But, I love to see what they are wearing. I don’t watch the show to see it, I just look at gossip pages afterward.
the guy who won for best supporting actor made a great speach and seemed honorable. Don’t know his name but he is a great actor. JLaw Yeah. Anne needs to go away for a while, we all need a break from her.
Hated Ben & Anne, LOVED Jennifer and Adele!
Jennifer Hudson was amazing.
@ katie, while you may have made it without channel surfing..I didn’t make it without twice falling asleep. Happy to have dvr!
I love Seth McFarlane..though I am sure some jokes did fall flat for most, but he is who he is..
The end of the show was not what tiny bun headed woman promised…Funny
I don’t get the Anne Hathaway hate. Why?
But I am going to dish on Renee. Quit sucking on lemons and smile, girl.
LOL
Seth was less than stellar, too long intro, too much music NOT nominated going on, overall so-so
I’m so happy Ang Lee won Best Director. I absolutely love Life of Pi. It is my favorite movie of the year.
loved everything involving Jennifer Lawrence!!
Diden’t watch the show but I LOVED Amy Adam’s dress!!
Anne Hathaway was annoying. Over her. Did anyone notice at the Golden Globes when she won, Hugh Jackman’s wife wouldn’t look at her on stage during her speech? Telling…
Loved Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Hudson. The show itself was ok….felt bad for Seth MacFarlane. Tough crowd and went long.
Seth, I thought was cool. Production was awful; the idea of having the orchestra play live from the Capitol Records building was crazy. Overall, not very good.
i LOVE that i did not have to actually watch the oscars. because i HATE that seth macfarlane was hosting. i don;t like a lot of the humor in family guy and his other shows (a lot of it comes off [to me] as juvenile, puerile and misogynistic). he really seems like a total douche.
Glad Jennifer Lawrence won as well as Ben Affleck. Why did Mrs Obama present an award?
You know, as much as the techs are important, the awards should just concentrate on the acting, directing, music and best film awards in the primetime show. Would cut the time in half and would avoid the middle drop off.
Adele singing Skyfall
I loved Kristen Stewart’s enthusiasm!
I loved Charlize Theron’s darling short haircut & Anne Hathaway’s beautiful necklace. My favorite things from last night!
Loved: Jennifer Lawrence: she seems very sincere and fresh. I hope she always retains that send of wonderment.
Hated: Michelle Obama: Why can’t I just escape the political world for four hours. I have to see the kids that survived the Newtown shooting at the Superbowl and Emmy’s and now Michelle Obama at the Oscars. Enough!
Loved Ang Lee’s & J Law’s wins. Everything else was predictable.
Slogged along…but hightlight was Daniel Day Lewis’ adlib about trading roles with Meryl Streep…and making Lincoln a musical. That was funny.
Longtime lurker…Hello Ace!
He wasn’t adlibbing but is so good at citing he seemed like it eh?
Like everyone else I loved Jennifer Lawrence, who always comes across as so genuine and heartfelt, but was annoyed by Anne Hathaway, who always comes across as contrived and rehearsed.
Loved Barbra singing The Way We Were in honor of Marvin Hamlisch. It wasn’t a perfect performance, but a beautiful tribute to a legend nonetheless.
Barbra and Seth
My goodness with the way Anne Hathaway has been acting this award season I thought she was up for Best Actress. Everyone knows Best supporting actress is a curse. I kept thinking just give Anne Hathaway her award already, so she’ll go away.
As a blind gossip fan, Ben’s speech about his marriage being work was a “wink wink”. Seth Mcfarland was cringe-worthy awful and I think he knew it.
Liked: that Jennifer Lawrence won for best actress
Dislike: Anne Hathaway’s dress (horrid) and that Michelle Obama presented.
I LOVED Adele, but I always love her. I wish Seth would’ve taken his jokes a little farther.
You mean out of the theatre?
Loved that Jennifer Lawrence laughed off her fall. Loved J Hud KILLING the song from Dream Girls. Hated Kristen Stewart…. enough said.
Loved: Adele singing Skyfall
Hated: Melissa McCarthy and Paul Rudd presenting something-or-another – what was this all about? Another thing – what Dreamgirls and Chicago got to do with yesterday’s ceremony? Was falling asleep from 10 pm.
Loved: Argo winning best picture
Hated: Anne Hathaway. She just annoys me for some reason.
LOVED – Sally Field making out with Seth and then hopping into a Trans Am
HATED – Anne Hataway’s phoniness and Grant Heslov taking up so much time when we wanted to hear from Affleck and Clooney.
Yes! I forgot about Sally Field in my comment! One of my favorite parts, the comedy skit and then the tribute to Smoky and the Bandit!
I loved that Christoph Waltz won, as I was rooting for him. I hated the musical aspect, as I can’t stand musicals, but Jennifer Hudson was AMAZING. Wow! I can’t get over how incredible she is.
I loved seeing the red carpet with Jennifer Lawrence, because I thought she was completely over-hyped beforehand, but she seemed like SUCH a down to earth girl, so she got a new fan. What Oscar winning actress could fall and act like it’s no big deal? No one but her! Everyone in Hollywood takes themselves far too seriously, so I love her personality.
Didn’t hate Seth. Loved Jennifer Lawrence. Felt embarrassed for Anne Hathaway. Didn’t expect CZJ to channel Brit Brit’s 2007 VMA performance.
Loved Adele’s performance
I thought Seth was funny.
I thought Babs was awful, and it would have been nice if Anne Hathaway at least acted a little bit surprised. Also, WTH, Michelle Obama? Are you a celebrity, or the wife of the president?
I loved Shatner and the tasteless song “We Saw Your Boobs”. It was hilarious. Members of the audience in the theatre spent the whole time looking out of the corner of their eyes to see if they should laugh or if they should feign outrage. What a anal-retentive crowd.
Speaking of boobs, Anne Hathaway really needs to stop trying to convince us she’s sexy. She’s pretty, not in a sexy way. I wish she would just accept it. No more “accidental” crotch shots, no more “Les Nippleables”.
Shirley Bassey was great. So was Babs. Although, hair that long on a woman her age makes me think “crazy lady with 150 cats”. I wish she’s go to a long bob.
“I wish she’d (Babs) would go back to a long bob” is what I meant to type. She’s still wonderful no matter what.
I loved almost all of the musical numbers–Adele, Barbra Streisand, Shirley Bassey and Jennifer Hudson especially. The “boobs” song was fun–that whole thing with Shatner was fun. I was really impressed with Charlize Theron’s and Channing Tatum’s dancing–it was so unexpected! The sets were beautiful; I especially loved the way Adele and her set worked together visually, like she was singing in a starry night sky.
Ben Affleck’s speech was great.
I don’t get the Anne Hathaway hate–she seems very sweet.
What the hell is wrong with Renee Zellwegger? Was she actually too messed up to read?
Daniel Day Lewis is funny! Who knew?
loved- Samuel Jackson going off script when presenting with the group of Avengers and saying “just give the award” while Mark Ruffalo hides his face….lol
hated-Halle Barry—what a nut case
Jennifer Lawrence’s fall was hilarious…if she wasn’t just oozing “girl next door” I’d of thought she did that on purpose!
Loved Catherine Zeta Jones and Chicago. Hated the opening songs. Loved Seth though. He is funny. Wanted more ball busting jokes!
I loved the look that Daniel Radcliffe gave KStew when she forgot that it was her turn to speak.
I think she was on something… pain meds, perhaps? She was OUT of it. I’d think she was stoned if she wasn’t injured and possibly taking something for that.
Her publicist claims she cut her foot on broken glass, hence the crutches, but some people noticed a bruise on her arm. I think there’s more to the story.
Love Adele and Ang Lee.
I didn’t care for Seth. It was kind of painful actually to watch him.
I can’t believe so much hate for Anne Hathaway. I think I may be the only who likes her. LOL Call me naive.
Jennifer Lawrence was good in Silver Linings Playbook but I think Jessica Chastain deserved the Oscar. She was incredible.
I thought Seth did okay for a “virgin”. Loved the hand puppets. Agree Miss Anne is getting way too full of herself( noticed it long ago in award season when she dissed Princess Diaries and Devil Wears Prada-Girl those movies got you here! Review them and try to pick back up on some of the charm) Loved the Boob song also. Can’t believe they forgot Andy Griffith in Memoriam! Too long as always-focus on the movies of this year guys! And yes, they really should have bribed all the Bond men with lots of shaken martinis to get them there!!~
I hate that Argo can win Best Picture but Ben Affleck wasn’t nominated as director. Ridiculous.
Loved:Adele and Jennifer Hudson
Hated: Length of the show
I love Jennifer Lawrence, and am glad she won. I also thought that Seth did a great job, and I never liked Adele before but loved her acceptance speech and was touched at how choked up she got. I will definitely keep an open mind to her music from here on out!
The flying nun was the best.
LOVED jennifer lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence and Charlize Theron!
Strictly the clothes.
I loved everything about Jennifer Lawrence!
The Les Mis ensemble performance was phenomenal!
so annoyed w/the length of the show, I fell asleep
also VERY annoyed with Anne Hathaway
That’s about it.
Loved Adele winning for song, Kristin’s attitude (loved when they panned her seat row, clearly the gay row). Ahh Charlize, gorgeous and brilliant.
Loathed Mrs. obama being involved (she was probably there to make sure the dinner menu was just celery and lettuce).
Nice to see her wearing OUR tax money. GRR!
Buh bye Seth. You sucked. Lame jokes. Seth green would have done a better job.
Loved the winners, loved adele and goldfinger songs, loved most of the clothes, thought much of the show was stupid though….:O
Ugh – Anne H – so disingenuous!
Loved Adele – she looked fab and sounded amazing!
Loved The Jennifers – Hudson giving me goose bumps yet again, Lawrence being honestly humble and Bradly & Hugh jumping to her rescue & Gardner who did not kill her husband who put it all out there – for better or worse IS work.
Over – Anne….stop trying so hard. Take a cue from Lawrence – sit back and enjoy it.
I loved the Les Mis performance and I thought Quevenzhane Wallis was adorable! I don’t understand why Michelle Obama got to present “Best Picture.” Also, kudos to Babs’ plastic surgeon!
On the plus side – I was happy to see Christoph Waltz and JLaw win, and loved everything about her.
On the WTF side – who let Rene Zellweger onto that stage in that state? Terrible!
Best part of show was the signing (Jennifer Hudson, Adele) – thought Seth MacFarlane WAS THE WORST HOST EVER!!!! Way too many sexist and mean spirted jokes (alluding to Adele’s weight, etc). Ace, please start a campaign for Tina and Amy in 2014!!!!!!
My hometown girl from Louisville, Ky (& I think she’s insanely talented) – but Jlaw’s press room interview was THE best.
Loved Barbra…loved “saw your boobs”…although it was predictable, I thought it was the best show in years. I don’t get the appeal of Adele.
Oh yea…WHY did they throw MObama into it? WTH? How much did that cost us?
Loved Seth
Loved the les mis cast singing. Hated the saw your boobs song. hated how late it ran so quit watching before the last major awards
Hated the Jaws music to cut off the acceptance speeches.
Loved the big winners speeches especially Affleck, Lewis, Lawrence and Tarantino’s! I LOVED that Clooney, while he went up as a producer didn’t overshadow and Grant Heslov’s little self mockery moment made me laugh out loud probably for the first time in the entire show.
Yes!!!!!..I loved that Grant called them the 3 sexiest producers…sandwiched between ben and george. Great unscripted moment.
Loved Jennifer Lawrence’s dress.
Happy to see Ben win best picture for Argo.
Thought Anne seemed almost expecting to win – not cool.
Jessica Chastain should have taken it.
Forgot to mention: I didn’t care for Mrs. Obama at the end. It was just weird to me.
Loved – C. Waltz, what a gentleman! DD Lewis, also a gentleman. Shirley Bassey singing Goldfinger. WOW. The sock puppets. Argo winning.
Hated – A. Hathaway, too rehearsed. Mrs. Jackman’s tuxedo, UGH.
Liked – Seth MacFarland. I thought he did a great job and made me laugh!
Wasn’t Anne originally cast in Jennifer’s role for Silver Lining? In the pic above I wonder what she is thinking looking at Jennifer.
LOVED Seth – he kept things light and I thought he was hilarious.
HATED Anne Hathaway in every way…her dress was awful and her speech too scripted!
LOVED that Ben won Best Picture
HATED that he was snubbed by the Academy for Best Director
LOVED laughing at what an ass Renee Zellweger made of herself!
HATED having to watch the Les Mis cast try to sing again! AWFUL!!
Just figured out JLaw = Jennifer Lawrence. Reading these comments, I kept wondering how I missed Jude Law’s Oscar nomination and win last night! Lol
Loving how many people didn’t realise that the shocked responses from the women in the boobs song were staged.
Seth Mcfarlane was mediocre at best. The Capt Kirk bit was atrocious.
LOVED Jennifer Lawrence…Anne HathaWAY-TO-BIG-AN-EGO could take a few notes from her on sincerity. So so scripted and fake- she was great as Fantine but has proven a clumsy and akward actress in the authenticity of “oh gosh I won– I am so surprised” sweepstakes. Awful.
The musical numbers cold have been axed (except for Adele) and nominees (esp the NON famous ones) given more time to thank their loved ones/co workers.
HATED the JAWS music. LAME LAME LAME
Liked Jen Law’s dress Disliked Anne Hathaway’s
Random thought: when Barbra Streisand appeared I thought that’s exactly what Jen Aniston will look like in 20 years. LOL!
Didn’t even watch it (tumblr kept me updated) but here’s how I already feel:
Loved: Anne, Jenifer, Quvenzhane, Adele, the (male) Avengers, His Royal Highness Robert Downey Jr., Ang Lee, Meryl Streep, and Daniel Day – Lewis
Loathed: Seth MacFarlane, Ben Stiller, and Argo can kindly fuck off.
Anne Hathaway has worn her welcome thin…..the false modesty was coming across way too false. The breathy, girly tone was too much to take.
Love Ang Lee, Daniel Day Lewis
Not a fan of Anne Hathaway, and Seth was not funny at all.
love JLaw she’s talented and get an oscar at such a young age .. but Ace i just wondering why Leo always gets snubbed by Oscar?
Supremely annoyed that they rushed everyone off the stage, including Clooney (!) but went on and on and on with the acts. These people have worked their whole life for one oscar and the time they get now is SO short, you can see the stress level rise as soon as the winners arrive at the podium.
Seth was a surprise. He can sing, dance and is very funny. I was even laughing at the end of the boob song after being initially horrified.
My guess is this is why she doesn’t perform anymore. Aging is not kind to singing voices.
Hmmm,,,,,,, NOT, IMHO.
I always heard she didn’t perform anymore because she is a) retired, b) she has terrible stage fright which has only gotten worse over the years and c) she has multi-millions already and doesn’t need to perform , except now of course to to give her ego a boost. I agree with you both in that she missed the mark completely, in this performance and her friend Donna Karan did not help her with that horrendous unflattering dress. and if every tine she appears in public now she keeps wearing those darn high throat chokers so tight, bulges above and below are going to start creasing just like the creases she is trying to hide across her throat ( or is that her face lift scars- meow).
