Throughout the evening, several of the
celebs presen ng this evening seemed
to be having trouble spi ng out simple
words and phrases. I blame the show's
tech team--it had to be a slower-thannormal teleprompter. Most of the stars
were able to shrug it off, but John
Travolta blatantly changing Idina Menzel
to “Adele Dazim”? Li le worried about
ya, Johann Revolt. It was worse for Kim
Novak. Clearly the marione e operators
above couldn't get her mouth to open.
And what was with my hero Harrison
Ford's Heisenberg impression? A hat and
glasses, and he would have cleared the
en re Dolby Theater.
Don't hate, but I might be the only
person watching who didn't totally love
Darlene Love. Happy to be part of the
team accep ng the best documentary
award for “20 Feet From Stardom”, Love
burst into song with the chorus of one of
my all- me fave gospel tunes, “His Eye is
on the Sparrow”.
Everyone from Bill Murray to Bono

her life is in the works. How are they
gonna cast it? Jennifer Hudson, get
ready.

Rainbow” was gold. By the me I thought
“Why did they pick Pink?”, she had
already won me over.
Speaking of Oz, why wasn't “Gone With
the Wind” celebrated? Both films were
released in 1939. Yes, I know the film
doesn't feature Scarle singing, “As God
is My Witness”, or “For the Love of
Ashley”, but they could've come up with
something. If Ellen was ballsy enough to
dress up as Glenda the Good Witch,
surely she could have donned Miz Ellen's
green velvet por eres.

The biggest bang for my viewing buck this
evening (not coun ng the pizza delivery
gag) was of course Ellen's selfie seen
'round the world. It's my desktop
screensaver now. So fun to watch Alisters mugging for Twi er pic! Most
people don't realize; however, that this
