The appearance of Kim Novak, made me embarrassed for her, still not knowing why she was called on to be a presenter, except to show the younger starlets what a disaster plastic surgery can be. The same goes for Goldie Horn, who has always had a beautiful face, yet now filled with botox, looks awful. Why cant she age gracefully and with dignity like her partner Kurt Russell.

Melanie Griffith is another one. She's doing a guest stint right now on the reboot of Hawaii Five-O (stars Aussie hunk Alex O'Loughlin), and she looks like a fright.

Ellen was hosting, so I wanted to watch.  I must confess that after Jared Leto won his award, I promptly fell asleep and missed most of the show...  Oh well...

I woke up in time to see the end of the show and most of the major awards (I did miss Lupito Nyong'o's win). Because I was sleeping in the middle, my experience was that it all seemed over and done very quickly! 

(I totally missed the whole Pink/Wizard of Oz thing, the pizza man, Kim Novak,...)

I had originally forgotten that P!nk was gonna be there, and when the Wizard of Oz stuff started, my immediate fear was that Liza and Lorna were going to take the stage.  Thankfully, we got P!nk.

I want to know who told Liza it would be good to streak her hair blue to match her dress?

Friend of mine at work said Pink "totally nailed" Over the Rainbow--and this is from a woman who is nearly retirement age.

I checked the link, which confirmed my guess. Earlier this week I saw a commercial for Letterman that mentioned "Ten Ways to Mispronounce Idina Menzel."

My opera singer friends on Facebook were in two camps about Pink's rendition of "Over the Rainbow."  Some defended her as a favorite rock singer, others were super annoyed at her complete disregard of phrasing and her taking breaths at odd moments.  Someone wondered why they didn't just ask Bette Midler to sing it.  Although I though Pink was in command and admirably composed, I think they could have made a better choice.

I'm sure Bette could have knocked it out of the park.

Yes, I agree......"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a beautiful haunting song and it didn't come out that way with Pink...Bette could have done it much much better...
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
