And the Oscar Snark Goes To...

Every year, my snarky friends get together to watch the Oscars, and the best of the stream-of-consciousness comments make it onto the blog. Without further ado (or context):

The opening act set was designed by Liberace.

It's too bad Captain Kirk stopped Seth MacFarlane from singing "We Saw Your Boobs."

Sock Puppet Flight was WAY better than the actual movie.

Christoph Waltz has now won two Oscars for playing the same role.

Paul Rudd and Melissa McCarthy are both funny people, but this intro bit is The Worst.

Apparently you have to shout when you wear a kilt.

The cinematographer winner is like a blond Meat Loaf. He would do anything for an Oscar, but he won't do that.

They should use the music from Jaws to play off everybody on every award show for the rest of time.

The winner for Best Hairstyling clearly didn't do her own hair. Unless she was going for "bird's nest."

Halle Berry put as long a pause as she could get away with between Pussy and Galore.

Liam Neeson is the definition of an American superhero?

A live orchestra playing off site? How strange.

After getting rightfully savaged for his singing in Les Miserables, Russell Crowe got up for a second round. Ugh.

I didn't even know Oscars could have a tie. Kinda cool. How rough would it be to be a nominee waiting for the first people to finish accepting their award, waiting to find out if you'll be the second?

So guys with long blond hair is a thing this year. It's like The Matrix Reloaded in here or something.

When Anne Hathaway said "Hugh, you are the best," his look seemed to say "yes, yes I am."

The sound mixing of the broadcast is terrible tonight. How can you lose Adele in a sound mix?

Kristen Stewart appears to have rolled out of bed to present an award.

Clooney's comment about the "friends and people" we lost reminds us that some people in Hollywood are bastards.

It looks like Renee Zellweger has a black hole behind her nose pulling her face in.

Richard Gere is having trouble with his glasses, so he asks a woman who can't open her eyes to read the winner.

The guy on the censor button tenses up as Quentin Tarantino takes the stage.

Ang Lee had the class to thank the author of the book on which his film was based. It seems like every author of a book or play adapted into a movie is always left out of the thank you speeches.

Kristen Stewart looks angry with Jean Dujardin. Oh wait, that's just how she always looks.

Someone greased up the stairs for poor Jennifer Lawrence. But I suspect an Oscar goes a long way toward healing any bruises or embarrassment.

The camera angle kind of made it look like Meryl Streep was digging out a wedgie as she stepped up to the mic.

I'll bet Meryl Streep could play Abraham Lincoln.

Jack Nicholson is looking a bit Charlie Chaplin-like in his oversized tuxedo.

Sudden reverb on the name "Michelle Obama." Planned?

For the first time in a long time, the movie I liked best in the year actually won Best Picture. If the cycle holds, that won't happen again until 2025 or so.
