Oscars 2012: live coverage of the Academy Awards ceremony
Didn't get an invite
to this year's Oscars? Neither did Xan Brooks, but he stoically blogged
the red carpet and then the ceremony anyway
"Please welcome the original girl with the dragon tattoo," says Billy
Crystal, waving one arm to introduce Angelina Jolie. And on she strides,
the "It Girl" of the moment, with her lips painted as red as Satan's
rump and the leg of her dress slit clean up to ya-ya. She has come to
grace The Descendants with the prize for best adapted screenplay. Director and co-writer Alexander Payne has brought his mum to the ceremony and, on her insistence, he dedicates the prize to her.
Next it's time for the best original screenplay, which goes to Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris.
Or at least it would go to Woody if he were here, but he's not; he's
back in New York, he doesn't like LA, where they turn their dead bodies
into bad TV shows. "The Academy accepts this award on his behalf,"
smiles Jolie. I like the idea of her giving it to him person; perhaps
showing up at his apartment, with her bare leg cocked and her lipstick
blazing. She'd scare him half to death, the poor little devil.
