The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Oscars 2007
Good — Nice distribution of prizes with no one film hogging the honors; Naomi Watts’ lovely yellow gown; Melissa Etheridge’s surprise win; the classiness of Helen Mirren; montages clips that didn’t look like they came off someone’s third-generation VHS tape.
Bad — Ellen’s inoffensive, unedgy patter; Beyoncé and Eddie Murphy not clapping for Alan Arkin; too many goddamn montages; Jack Nicholson’s muggy mug.
Ugly — the broadcast’s stupefying overlength; Kirsten Dunst’s weird dress; Philip Seymour Hoffman’s skeevy hair.
Snarkier coverage here and here.
