The Oscars

So my friend Patrick aka Shirl hosted an Oscar party last evening. We arrived back from Albany (That trip will discussed in a later blog) in just enough time to drive straight to the party. The party was held in Shirl's swanky center city high rise apartment with hordeuvres and wine on the menu. Pretty much everyone was in agreement that Ellen Degeneres did a fine job as host. Al Gore kind of stole the evening however with his documentary winning an award as well as his Presentation with Leonardo Dicaprio. It was pretty funny. The Dancers were ok. It seemed though that a lot of time was wasted for a telecast that is notoriously overlong. Anyhow Helen Mirren looked gorgeous as did Kate Winslet. Gwyneth Paltrow annoys me to no end Ironically enough though I like Blythe Danner. It's the same with the Douglas' I like Kirk but Michael creeps me out. Any way enough of that.
