This year saw a very special Academy Awards ceremony. Not because of the end of the writer's strike, or that I saw more nominated films than I've seen in the past four years, or that Vanessa Paradis didn't wear an a Bob Mackie-ish dress. Nah, this year was special because we let the Boy watch the first half hour of the program with us. Below is a transcript of his commentary:
Opening Sequence:
Boy: Hey! Spider-man! Hey! The Hulk!
Opening monologue:
Boy: That guy is funny. Where’s Spider-man? I want that Spider-man show.
Best Costume:
Jennifer Garner takes the stage.
Boy: I like her dress. But I don’t like her necklace.
80 Years of Oscar Montage:
Boy: I think that girl was dressed up as Snow White! [In reference to an old clip where Snow White is excited to meet Rob Lowe.]
Best Animated Feature:
Boy: I like that girl’s [Anne Hathaway’s] beautiful red dress.
MCV: Oh, Boy! We’re going to get to see some cartoons.
Boy: About Spider-man!
…a few minutes later…
Boy: I want to see that cartoon again about the girl with the black hair [Persepolis]. (Ed. Note: I knew he had sophisticated tastes.)
During Amy Adams’ performance of “Happy Working”:
Boy: Her hair is beautiful.
***this is where the Boy went to bed***
