This year, just like every year beforehand, the presenters’ bits at the Oscars were bigger bombs than Snow White, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and Tron: Ares combined. Can we please move on from Bridesmaids already? That movie sucked and was not funny.
However, there was one funny presenter duo, and that was Robert Downey, Jr. and Chris Evans. Iron Man and Captain America were there to celebrate The Avengers 14th Anniversary, and the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which comes out on December 18th.
Evans brought RDJ a signed script from the superhero movie as a present, but the latter forgot to get him something. However, with some quick thinking and Tony Stark money, he was able to get his hands on the thong that Channing Tatum wore in Magic Mike.
I am not sure if he got ripped off by one of those vendors on Hollywood Blvd that say they are selling you the real thing, but they are really selling you a knock-off. I mean, why else would the Oscar winner call it “The official Tanning Chatum Magic Mike Thong.”
Who is Tanning Chatum? I know Channing Tatum, but not Tanning Chatum.
It could be because Magic Mike lost his magic, and Hollywood can’t ever remember his name. Irene Cara’s song Fame lied to him. Back to Tanning. I hope he got his costume back before he hit the pole at some gross male strip club in North Hollywood.
Seriously, even with that blunder, that whole interaction struck Oscar gold.
Conan O’Brien brilliantly hosted the Oscars for the second year in a row. But will he be back for a third time?
If you switched off after Sinners lost Best Picture or when the credits started to roll, then you missed the answer.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences offered him the job for life.
Sounds perfect? That is, until you find out “for life” means as long as he is alive. And they unalived him right after he accepted the permanent position.
Who do you think should host in 2027? Because it looks like they have an opening. Not only that, they have the first person to be added to next year’s In Memoriam.
UPDATE: I didn’t realize that this was a reference to One Battle After Another. I haven’t seen it yet. Actually, I never plan to see it. I would rather a bad horror movie than a boring overrated Oscar winner.
Gwyneth Paltrow was invited to the Oscars because she appeared in Marty Supreme, which was an Oscar loser. And they asked her to present because she won an Oscar, a long, long, long time ago. So, she made the most by trying to get as much attention as possible.
How was she going to do it? She wore a white, strapless, floor-length Armani Privé gown. What’s the big deal? From the front and back, it looked plain. But from the sides, there was something missing. What was it? It was fabric. Therefore, the 53-year-old got the attention she wanted.
But wanting is not always a good thing. In her case, it is just sad.
Finally, I can’t wait to see Matt Stone in it! Her Oscar dresses look better on him anyways.
Firefly only lasted one season, but those 14 episodes were not enough for fans. So ever since it said goodbye in 2002, they have wanted more.
In 2005, they made a one-off movie, Serenity. But it was not enough.
Today, Nathan Fillion, along with his co-stars, Gina Torres (Zoe Washburne), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra), Sean Maher (Simon Tam), Summer Glau (River Tam), Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), and Alan Tudyk (Hoban “Wash” Washburne) announced that they are working on an animated version of the show.
Married couple, Tara Butters and Marc Guggenheim, who met when they worked on the mothership, are the showrunners. A script is ready. ShadowMachine, an animation house, has been hired. So all they need is a home.
And Fillion is meeting with one now. Who is it? He didn’t say. But I think that Hulu would be the best home for it.
However, without Joss Whedon, even though they gave his blessing, I am not sure it will be as good. I find that most reboots, sequels, and revivals don’t work if the original creator is not involved. Am I alone with that feeling?
