This Year, Oscar Brings The Funny (And Hopefully Fey).

OK, so if you know me at all (or happen to be a regular reader of this blog)....you probably know that I'm just mad about a guy named "Oscar."


I also happen to LOVE those who can bring the funny, so imagine my delight when the two co-hosts for this years' Oscar telecast in March were announced last week --

Charming, intelligent and oh, so funny men: Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin.


Hosting gigs are fairly familiar to this duo, as both have hosted Saturday Night Live multiple times (more than anyone else), and Steve has already hosted the Oscars twice before, solo.

Check out the two of them in action together:

Alec & Steve Compete As SNL
"Hosts With The Most"

Hmmm....as happy as I am, I DO wish they would have chosen an equally fun & fabulous female to join those two up on stage that evening.

Tina Fey?


Sandra Bullock?


Heck....Abigail Breslin?


In fact, many in Hollywood & beyond are already sniping about who wasn't (and should've been) added as a host:

Click Here: The Gold Derby -- "Not So Complicated: Meryl Streep Wasn't Asked To Join Costars As Oscars Co-Hosts"

Several inside sources are saying that Tina Fey was a clear choice to join the two men, but her busy TV schedule just wouldn't allow it.

She has obvious chemistry with Alec on 30 Rock,


AND....she's also worked with Steve on her show, with very funny results.

(for further incentive, when Tina presented the Screenplay awards at the Oscars with Steve last year, they killed.)


My fingers remain firmly crossed that Tina will somehow make an appearance on the Oscars....a very humorous and memorable one, I'm sure.

What gives me such hope?

Well....she is starring this spring with none other than Steve Carell (talk about a "Dream Team") in the upcoming comedy Date Night, about a bored married couple's attempt at a glamorous & romantic evening, with dangerous & comic results.


The flick opens April 9th....just one month after the Academy Awards.

Can't you just see Fey & Carell presenting an Oscar, discussing their upcoming movie....and stealing the show?


Oh yeah, I'm laughin' already.

Stay tuned.

I LOVE This Video! -- "Target Women: Chick Flicks"

Hey there Movie Lovers --

Happy Monday!

Well, if you're a regular reader of this blog (of course you are!) then you're familiar with the very funny Sarah Haskins and the periodic "Target Women" pieces she does for the weekly news parody web show Info Mania on Current TV.

Guess what?

Lucky for us, she's posted a new one and it's right up our movie-lovin' alley!

Sarah takes a few well-deserved digs at the "Chick Flick" genre......and even picks on an upcoming film that I've been looking forward to for about 10 years: The Women.


OK.....so for a fun Monday mornin' chuckle, click below to check out --
"Target Women: Chick Flicks"

(I have a few comments afterward)


Yep, gotta love it.

Two things:

1. If you enjoy Sarah and her Target Women series as much as I do, you can click this link: Sarah Haskins/Target Women and head on over to current tv to watch all of her previous work. I highly recommend the bridezilla/wedding shows piece and the one about marketing yogurt to women. Funny stuff.

2. I must say to Sarah (and all of the other avid Colin Firth fans out there....), unfortunately the handsome & sensitive Mr. Firth is currently off the market......totally taken, happily married.


Hmmm........

At least, that's what his wife's recent red (ooops, I mean blue) carpet attire at the London Mamma Mia premiere would have us believe:


Huh.

Interesting.

Let's look more closely, shall we?

OK....YOU be the judge:



Yep, she certainly looks "HAPPY."

She's totally rockin' that yellow sparkle-sequined shift with the "Have A Nice Day" logo on it.

(I'm somewhat bothered by the unfortunate placement of the eyes, aren't you?)

Well, you know what they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

(And the picture of that dress is definitely sayin' somethin'.)

I happen to think it's sayin': "I need to buy a mirror."

But hey, that's just me.

OK, that's all for now Movie Lovers.......

Stay tuned.
