Oscars 2010. Ryan Seacrest polished his lifts, starlets were waxed, plucked and dipped in a respective designer’s dress and I (armed only with trailer park sangria -white wine, Crystal Light and a Fruit Roll Up-) spent my evening watching Craig Ferguson until the pre-show started. Sexy no?
The fashion on the red carpet was all about metallics, giant draping, corset bodices, flowery applique (not kidding SJP was adorned in posy embellishment along with Sandra Bullock) and Gabourey Sidibe stating: “If fashion was porn, my dress would be the money shot.”

The highlight of the show was watching Sandra Bullock’s acceptance speech. She won gracefully and even mentioned her fictitious rivalry with Meryl Streep. She also mentioned what a good kisser Streep is in reference to their kiss at the Critics Choice Awards (video below).

There was also a “Kayne Moment” during the award for Best Documentary. Elinor Burkett wrestled the microphone away from director-producer Roger Ross Williams after their film, “Music by Prudence,” won. Why? Apparently the two have had a huge rift over the film. Burkett claims that she came up with idea for the short, was robbed of creative control and dropped out of the project after the direction of the short focused on one person (Prudence) instead of the entire band. Williams claims he brought the documentary to life.
“The truth is that she saw the band perform [in Zimbabwe], and told me about that, and then I opened up a dialogue with the [King George VI School & Centre for Children with Physical Disabilities] school and went on my own – which you would’ve heard about in my speech — and spent $6,000 going to Africa shooting myself. And when people expressed interest in the film, I asked her to come on board. And then I regretted that decision. Then she sued.”
The lawsuit was settle in small claims and despite dropping out of the film, Burkett qualified to be a producer and thus a nominee. She then rushed to the stage to interrupt Williams’ speech. It was never discussed as to who would accept the award, but she claims he won’t speak to her. His view on the acceptance speech crashing…
“That was handled by the publicist for the academy. I don’t know what they told her. The academy is very clear that only one person can speak. I own the film. She has no claim whatsoever. She has nothing to do with the movie. She just ambushed me. I was sort of in shock.”
