I haven't seen any of them! I wait for DVDs usually, since I have rotten luck in theaters. I'm the one who has someone in a beehive hairdo and a hat sit right in front of me just before the lights dim, and the people behind me talk all the way through the movie, and/or the one next to me gets excited and throw their coke all over me. (Really, all of these things happen to me. I have a movie lover friend who quit asking me along because even she finally had to admit I'm a jinx.) The Awards have made me want to venture back to a movie house though, at least to watch Gravity, a movie that I think probably has to be seen on a big screen to really enjoy. |

No offense, but I think Pink sang that song badly. Terrible breathing, cutting words in two. And it was very unemotional. She is tremendously talented, but I do not think anyone can sing that song at all. The only time I've heard it done well besides Judy herself was when Iz did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I |

I think Pink's breathing was off too Icy, but her vocals were good. Loved that we didn't have and lip syncing done a la Melissa Gorga! Did Jamie Foxx really jump in on Pharrell's song? I loved Ellen's joke about Liza, "Best Liza Minelli impersonator, well done Sir!" Leo D really didn't give Ellen the time of day with her pizza schtick. |

Liza should have sang it. Just watched half of Pink - just okay - she couldn't hit some notes. Watched the memorium - hated the way they did it this year. Don't think PSH should have been given top billing. Peter O'Toole was so much bigger. Even Joan Fontaine. It's like my favorite part and I always cry. Didn't know a few of them passed away. |

Leo is going to get a special actor or wait till he's old like Paul Newman who was nominated so many times prior to his win. Or else he'll get a special actor |

I didn't realize Pink had such a powerful voice. I didn't like her interpretation, although I thought the vocals were good. If you aren't going to use the original (and I think they should have), I'd like to hear someone like sara McLachlan sing it. Please, not Liza, she can't hold a note anymore. I think they always cheat the older actors in the In Memoriam tributes. Peter O'Toole and Joan Fontaine deserved much better. I agree, ccc. The pre show honestly did me in with all the fawning and the pandering. And why did they have to change the fourth or so guest host about 6 times. We need a contemporary Joan Rivers to put some snark back into it. |

I want Joan back too - both were so boring. I had pic in pic on and neither thrilled me. I didn't think Goldie looked bad at all. She's deep into her 60s - she was too tan I think but I must say Kate rocked. I have a soft spot for Goldie. She should have had her hair done but she probably did it herself. She doesn't give a crap which in some ways makes me like her even more. I think she looks better than she did a few years ago. She cut back on the fillers. It wasn't just the line up in the memorium - it was the way they did it and coloring. It stunk. So PSH gets top billing since he Od's over Peter. Give me a break or Joan Fontaine. They were so much bigger. They do all this for viewers but there was no special for PSH it was just part of a group. Opening with Tony Soprano - was huge for him and he didn't do much film. Much more tv. It's like the Emmy's leaving out Jack Klugman - unreal to me. They even dimmed the lights on B'way for him. Gross. It was short as well and rushed. Cut some of the other crap if you ask me. No respect. Didn't even need BM's song- although I loved hearing her sing. Guess I'm just old. Either way it wouldn't have attracted more viewers. So I go to FB today and these idiots are asking where Cory was!!!! Like he was a movie star. He shouldn't have even had that much attention on the Emmy's. Ick The whole thing Ick to me Edited by cccharley, Mar 3 2014, 12:01 PM.

What did you think about Harold Ramis and Bill Murray doing that before announcing the winner. |

I loved Harold Ramis :) I loved him from "As Good as it gets"- like a cuddly Bear. I picked my worst dressed- Reese Witherspoon. Ribbon straps over floppy Boobs :( |

I was thinking about Harold as Bill walked up, so I think it was appropriate and sweet. I don't think Bette's song was necessary. She looked great, despite a slightly too small bra -- but Liza was braless and desperately needed one. I've been hearing that Pink always sings like that, and so her style was more important to her than the song's message. But that might be snark, though it came from "fans" so who knows? Anyone see the pix of Joan Rivers with cake on her face? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmjjiKSklVA Here's the video WHY. |

I gasped when I saw Kim Novak. I never liked her looks, and she couldn't act well, but she was known for her beauty and extremely famous in her day. She left Hollywood at a fairly early age to go live in a more rural area of California. She never came back or did interviews. She loved her animals. So I would have expected a very earthy real looking woman to come out on the stage. Instead, she had the worst plastic surgery I've ever seen, she could hardly move her mouth. I felt sorry for her. And I guess no stylist bothered to work on her; I'm sure they never heard of her. I do like seeing the older stars; Hollywood shouldn't forget its history. |

Jill Z should've told Liza with a Z to wear a Brawr, you're right Icy! |

Kim must have had the old fashioned cut up the face plastic surgery. You see people like Claudia Cardinale (a great beauty) and Angela Lansbury and say what is wrong with aging naturally? They both look like themselves, but older. |
