Oreo The Dog Is Dead, Blame Game Is Not
Gothamist wants to be one of the first to say what everyone will be uttering tomorrow with more frequency than usual: Why does Melissa Rivers persist? Joan, we understand, because she can be funny, though lately it's been more outrageous than incisive. And we understand nepotism and accept Tori Spelling's wooden acting...but Melissa...she must be stopped. And when she tears into some poor, celebrity with a bad stylist, no stylist at all, or her/his own opinion of how he/she should look, just remember that Melissa is no prize herself.
Also, doesn't it feel like Barbara Walters is scraping the bottom of the barrel with this year's special? Matt LeBlanc, Diane Keaton, Billy Crystal? Gothamist can read about Matt, who is the LEAST controversial of all Friends with Lisa Kudrow (where's the Percoset addiction? Pregnancy woes? Marriage to Brad Pitt?), in People and US and In Touch. Diane Keaton, she's cool, but we knows she's walks to the beat of her own drummer with wacky fashion sense. And Billy Crystal...wouldn't it have been more apropos to interview him while he was pimping 61*?
Some upsets that'd make the night interesting: Sofia Coppola upsetting Peter Jackson for best director; Johnny Depp upsetting Sean Penn/Bill Murray; Naomi Watts upsetting Charlize Theron.

Joan Rivers can be funny??
Billy Crystal's opening monologe is a tired routine.. I still laugh though..
Watching Law and Order instead!
Billy was ok, but yeah it's sort of like your old grandfather who comes over and tells the same jokes every year, even if it's not really that funny it makes you laugh cuz it's endearingly familiar.. it just feels good to have uncle billy around again. :)
don't understand...!
sean penn won over johnny depp, as did charlize over naomi watts....
Did anyone else notice in the pre-show how amazingly, horribly disgusted Sofia Coppola looked as she had to endure the cheesy, marionette interview of Maria Menounos? Best moment of the night, I tell ya... Oh and besides Charlize Theron, that blond bombshell that stood escort to the winners kept the show interesting.
erika: Jen surely must have posted BEFORE the Oscars ceremnony. Therefore, she was just hoping for some unlikely upsets. Read "that'd" as "that WOULD" and the post will start to make sense.
Did anyone notice that Melissa Rivers could not move her upper lip? Too much Botox before the show?
The only exciting part of the whole evening was that wierd box that Sting was pumping up during that song that no one's ever heard before...
Barbara scraping the bottom of the barrel amazingly had nothing to do with Billy, Matt or Diane. A 5 minute stunt interview with Shrek? But oh ... yeah ... you know what was really funny, and totally unexpected? Shrek cried. Oh, I was rolling. Good one Babs. Can't wait for that 20/20 going away party.
Please remember Bawbwa is retiwing this yeah, so she may be on the short day list, no heavy lifting, etc. Why fuck up in your last few weeks? AND did anybody notice she looked 20 years younger in the SHREK interview? I think she only did to get a CG-Botox
