Well, the night’s no longer young and neither am I after the 85th Annual Academy Awards Ceremony which we watched from the comfort of our home on Worsham Street. Was that really the Oscars or was it Hollywood’s version of a Talent Show? I haven’t seen so many songs and dances since they canceled the Lawrence Welk re-runs. Shit house mouse.
Host Seth MacFarlane sang and danced on and on and on
Even Billy Crystal never did that many songs
Dame Shirley Bassey brought the audience to its feet with Goldfinger
Who knew James Bond has been around for 50 years?
Jennifer Hudson is still The Red Man’s Dream Girl
British Pop Star Adele was S-U-L-T-R-Y HOT
Oh yeah, and she won an Oscar for her James Bond Skyfall song
The old woman Slow sang along with Barbra
Pretty would be pleased to know she knew all the words
Meryl Streep didn’t sing
She didn’t have to
Daniel Day Lewis won an Oscar for Best Actor
No singing required for his role as Abraham Lincoln
Ben Affleck was ecstatic for Argo’s win as Best Picture
He almost danced
Let’s just say it was a star spangled evening that saw Captain Kirk appearing live from the Enterprise to chat with Host Seth MacFarlane at the beginning of the show and First Lady Michelle Obama appeared live on the same screen at the end of the night to announce the winner of Best Picture. Captain Kirk. Michelle Obama. Hey, that was how the cookie crumbled.
Pretty and Slow kept the cell phones sizzling tonight as they texted almost as often as Seth MacFarlane sang and danced. Seriously, those two need to get a room. Paw Snaps! Oh, that’s right. They have rooms, but they’re a thousand miles apart. Let ’em text to their hearts’ content then.
At any rate, all’s well that ends well as The Red Man is fond of sayin’ and tonight is no exception. The Oscars are done – the Award Season is officially over and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief. Sigh.
Get me outta here Percy…Spike and I are going to bed…oh, that’s right…we already have.
Red's Rants and Raves 
I think we get to see them tonight here but I’m not a big fan of the oscars so will probably not be watching. I did see the movie The Iron Lady last night though, which I had really been looking forward to.

Oh, my bad…I hope we didn’t give too much away for our Amigos who will watch on tape delay tonight! Well, you will enjoy Meryl Streep if you enjoyed The Iron Lady. I love her whether she’s playing the PM Mrs. Thatcher or singing and dancing in Mama Mia! She’s simply the best of the lot right now. Have a good week and thanks for staying with The Red Man’s adventures…:)

I know what you mean. It was kind of boring. I thought it was the spin off of a new talent show

The highlight of my weekend was watching Melbourne Storm (my second favourite Aussie rugby league team) beat Leeds Rhinos (UK) in the World Cup Challenge! Woot Woot – and there was a lot of singing from the crowd (UK fans are like that)! I didn’t watch the Oscars, it’s easier to catch the highlights of the night on the news (comes from having a short attention span!) LOL 😀

Yes, but how are our Canberra Raiders doing so far? Hooray for the Melbourne Storm, however – we love to beat up the UK, don’t we?? Of course you will catch the Oscar highlights when you can. They said 1 billion people were watching worldwide last night. I think that must be more than the Super Bowl and World Cup Challenge put together!! 🙂

The actual footy season hasn’t started yet (the international game is a once a year event before the season) so Canberra Raiders are probably still asleep! zzzzzzzz 😉

I don’t let Ma watch TV Red, so she thanks you for the insightful commentary. Did you get any popcorn? That’s the only thing about TV night I like.
Love,

Ha, Miss Poppy, I see you have much more authority over your Ma than I do over Slow who will always find something to watch on TV. Peace and quiet on Worsham? Not likely. If it’s not Spike barking, it’s the old woamn’s TV and popcorn is apparently frowned upon unless she’s been to a movie and brings back enough popcorn for a small army. Why buy one Large bag of popcorn when for just $35 more you can have a $1 plastic container of popcorn with unlimited refills for a month. Financial planner my ass. Stay warm, Poppy – The Red Man sends paw snaps and twirls!
