At Oscars, Even Cleavage Was Subdued
Well, it was supposed to be a more subdued, played down, and less “blingy” Oscars night this past Sunday, and it certainly was, but it wasn’t a bad thing. We noticed when watching the show that the sets were not as glittery or expensive looking, and they seemed to have less performance numbers. Hugh Jackman did a great job, and was just what we expected, doing a number of sing song types of Broadway skits, which he was great at.
It was a nice change to having a comedian do it actually. Sometimes I have to admit, their stinging jokes to some of the stars makes it a little uncomfortable even for me sitting at home, and Hugh was very gentle, besides a few good humored ribbings poked at some of the stars, but it was all in good fun and there were really no uncomfortable silences or laughs like there have been in the past.
I noticed that there weren’t so many women celebrity’s breasts on display either, as there sometimes tends to be at the Oscars, except for Sarah Jessica Parkers ample bosoms popping over her dress, but even that was tasteful. Then there was Goldie Hawn who seemed to be spilling over her dress, but that’s par for the course for Goldie, and it didn’t look bad or distasteful, it’s just her own unique way of dressing.
Other than that, all other breasts were kept in check. Notoriously Halle Berry’s, who’s got one of the most talked about chests in Tinsel Town, kept hers under wraps, and looked gorgeous as always, although her speec introducing one of the female actress nominees was a bit silly since she starts off by mentioning her own nomination, but let’s just hope that was written for her and she was forced to say that.
With the economy being in the dumper, I thought this Oscar night was totally appropriate and adequately subdued. I liked that the show was not as expensive as it usually looks, I feel like that was respectful of the rampant fear everyone is feeling right now (that aren’t millionaires). I also liked the fact that the swag and gift bags were kept in check as reported by other media outlets, it’s kind of a slap in the face to begin with if you ask me, that people who are already so priveleged get more free stuff. All in all, good show!
