Michelle and Jake: Oscar 2011
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Paula said...

No surprises so far, congratulations to Melissa and Christian and Toy Story!

I don't think James and Anne are doing well, but Anne is game and is trying her best, James is like whatever!

Get Real said...

Jake looks amazing!!!!!

Awww Jake and Michelle.

Anne is doing great, James not so much.

Chica said...

Loved Jake and Amy! Loved her dress and he looked fantastic.

What a great photo of Jake and Michelle!

Anne is doing OK but James is bombing big time.

suvee said...

How are Anne and James doing?

Let's just say the producers were wise to hedge their bets...... with Billy Crystal. Maybe he should have appeared a bit sooner? :)

Jake was classy, as always.

Sag Actor said...

I thought that was the reason they brought in Crystal, rehearsals must have been brutal.

Anne has been fine so far, a bit nervous at first.

I liked Bale's speech and glad that Inception won a few awards so far.

UltraViolet said...

Yeah this is not inspired. EvenBCrystal was boring.

bobbyanna said...

Jake is unbelievable. He really is. So much Charisma!!! I love the way he smiles! I don't think they're doing too bad at all. I think the writing isn't as good as it could be.

James doesn't have as much to do. Anne's obviously more comfortable, but it's not too bad. I was just thinking how fun it must be back stage with Robert, Jude Law, and Jake, if he's still back there.

Loved the picture with Michelle. Thanks Monica! Hope we get to see more pics of him.

I'm enjoying Anne's wardrobe. Cate Blanchett is someone I forgot to mention before. Gorgeous dress!

I am just delighted for Christian Bale. Melissa Leo, too. And Alan Sorkin. Glad to see Christopher Nolan and David Fincher getting so much love.

Jake and Amy backtage:

Yeah, it's a bit of a trainwreck so far:(

UltraViolet said...

Thanks, tweety!

fLuploaded a pic of Jake and busy and Michelle.

UltraViolet said...

That would be FL.

Sheba said...

Yep. Jake looked stunning. He's well respected by his community. See how they clapped at his urging to watch more short films. I was expecting James to belt out a rendition of 'And I am telling you' wearing that dress. He seems like he's in a galaxy far far away. Well I can go to sleep now.

UltraViolet said...

Night night, Sheba! Glad you got to see dashing Jake.

Franco is pretty bad. Though FL told me he's posting ids through the night. The one of him going onstage was fun.

UltraViolet said...

And Jeff Wells head explodes...

Office of Nancy Pelosi said...

Jake looked so classy and oh so dreamy and Amy looked adorable!

The show is really painful to watch, I may call it a night myself. I expect Portman, Firth and TKS to win, Fincher may get B. Director over Hooper.

I love that photo of Jake, Michelle and Busy!

UltraViolet said...

Thank god Franco changed that dull shirt. Not liking this dress of anne's. But she is a trouper.

Monica said...

Jake was great.

UltraViolet said...

He was, Monica. As was Colin Firth. I adore him.

suvee said...

Colin! I adore him, too! What a lovely man.

Jake and Anne should of hosted the show.

bobbyanna said...

"With 30 minutes to showtime, Gwyneth Paltrow crosses paths with Jake Gyllenhaal. "Hey, I'm sitting right behind you," he tells her. "Oh good, I'll throw up on you then," says Paltrow, who will perform the nominated song from "Country Strong."
Found this live blog account from earlier in the evening:
___

5:07 p.m.: There's major mingling inside the theatre. On one side, Colin Firth kisses Amy Adams on the cheek. In the centre, Hugh Jackman is shown to his front-row seat before bouncing away. On the other side, Jake Gyllenhaal greets Marisa Tomei and Hilary Swank. "We're sitting next to each other," Swank excitedly tell Gyllenhaal."

I adore Colin Firth since forever!!! I'm really happy for him tonite!!!

Chica said...

Congratulations Colin, Natalie and The Kings speech!

Now I can go to bed!

Monica said...

I do not know, Anon. Anne did the best she can, but James was a disappointment.
As I said, it is extremely risky. All these innovations have failed.

bobbyanna said...

Someone suggested that Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law should do it. Ebert pronounced it the worst Oscar show he'd ever experienced. Not the awards or presenters, but the show. I really thought the writing was very poor.

mary said...

jake looked gorgeous so glad colin and the kings spech won for best picture yes james franco did a bad job anne was alright

finally saw my first SC commerical

did jake do the red carpet i dont think he did unless i missed it

Monica said...

Some pictures of Jake with Michelle and Amy Adams:
Oscar 2011

Monica said...

I do not know if anyone saw, but appeared Jake, Michelle and Busy on E! I think they were leaving the Kodak.
Jake posed for picture with two fans.

At the time Jake was presenting, the sister of Heath, ashleigh bell, posted on twitter: Oh Jake.

UltraViolet said...

What did she post, Monica?

Thanks for the photos. I've finally figured this out on my iPad and posted a couple of good ones. Keep checking of you're awake, folks!

I did seethe E video, Monica. It was fun.

Monica said...

What did she post, Monica?

Just Oh Jake.

UltraViolet said...

Ah, I see. Thanks. Sort of sad/mysterious.

UltraViolet said...

RDJ looked great onstage but looks like Judd Nelson in that photo with Jake. Who looks like a baby!

bobbyanna said...

UV, you've found some great pics. I like the captions on the Gwyneth & RDJr. pics, too:)

Monica said...

Good to see Jake with friends.

Colin Firth, you are so beautiful.

Watching E! without sound.

UltraViolet said...

Aww, thanks, bobbyanna. Added another one with RDJ.

I liked those tidbits about Jake and gwyneth end HSwank. No wonder she was excited. I hope Gwyneth managed not to hurl backwards on Jake.

UltraViolet said...

LOL, Monica. E without sound is the way to go.

Monica said...

Jake and Michelle should do a movie together.

awww Armie Harmer. This man is very very cute and seems like a great person.
So nice.

I'm still upset with the award for best director.

UltraViolet said...

I was shocked Fincher didn't win. I liked both movies a lot. But TSN was bolder. Wonder if jake and rdj caught up with their old tormentor.

Viv said...

OK....may I say this year's Oscar is truly boring....I like Anne and Franco,but....they are just...ugh...I don't know.I want Billy back.He is the best!!!
And Jake,what can I say:)...it's illegal to be too hot!!!

bobbyanna said...

Monica, I like Armie Hammer, too. He seems like a sweetheart!
I love the new pic with Robert & his wife with Jake. They look like they really enjoy each other.

Can you imagine a really smart, funny caper movie with Jude LAw, Robert & Jake? Oy!

Jake and his tux are getting lots of love on FB & twitter.

UltraViolet said...

Hey, viv. I think Jake would have done a better job than Franco. JF was a little too hipster zen for the gig. Maybe his tweets were funny.

Love the caper idea, Bobbyanna. Make that happen, will you? :)

Jake looked great, apparently in all ferragamo. I wonder why he didn't do the red carpet though. Missed opportunity to promote SC.

vanityfairmag Jake Gyllenhaal, Amanda Seyfried, and @Janefonda just arrived. Not together, alas. That would be interesting. #vfoscars

Monica said...

I read the comments from Nikki Finke. Some are funny.

Some people are being harsh with Anne and James, especially with James.

Lola said...

I get second hand embarrassment real bad so i just record all this stuff and fast forward it mostly. I did stop to hear james and anne a bit but it was too brutal. Of course i stoped and watched Jake, he is to cute. I did enjoy seeing all of Anne's outfit changes. I'm very happy Natalie won. It's good to hear Jake is going to the vanity fair party, so we can get more pics:)

Anonymous said...

I think that Anne did a great job, but James is....... :(

Is there any pictures of Anne and Jake together?

Extra said...

I love all the photos posted, especially the pics with Jake and Michelle, thanks!

Jake looked really good, too bad he skipped the Red carpet.

The show was boring, awkward and embarrassing. Anne was really trying but James was just bad.

They were predicting Fincher to win so I was surprised when Hooper won.

Congratulations to Natalie, Colin, Christian, Melissa and TKS!

mary said...

i wasnt surpised jake didnt do the red carpet i had a feeling he wpuld skip simce he wasnt nominated
but he looked great on stage love him in a tux

bobbyanna said...

My Oscar post mortem: I think the main problem was the show itself. Call it 'lost in translation.'

It was really, really poorly produced. It completely lacked cohesion and the writing was just terrible. Really bad!
And if they're going for a younger demographic, they need to dial down the cheesey.

The whole world seems to be holding James responsible for the entire debacle. Beat me up if you want,but I think the chemistry between them was awkward from the start. The contrast between their personalities was too great. It lacked balance. They never jelled.

Anne's and agressive,competitive, and very verbal person. And sorry, but sometimes she can be grating, overbearing, and obnoxious. I say this with love, bcz I love them both.

But Anne needed someone who would help her dial it down. Achieve some balance. Because at a certain point she was way out there, and he had no idea how to bring her back. He seemed overwhelmed.

It seemed like the more Anne did, the more withdrawn James became. I remember in an interview a couple of months ago, James said he never competed or begged or argued to get a role.

So maybe the competitive, agressive, verbal co-host caused him to become more and more withdrawn as the evening wore on. So he tweeted.

I'm not excusing him, but I do think he had a really hard time figuring out where he fit in, and he just tried to stay out of the way.

So, I place the blame for last night, squarely on the shoulders of the producers who really blew a great opportunity.

I sure wish we could get more pics of the Vanity Fair party. I saw a video clip of a very animated Michelle with Reese chattering away.

Another had a very fleeting glimpse of Jake's head talking to Jennifer Hudson.On the Vanity Fair site.

mary said...

i agree with your assessment bobbyanna during the red carpet they had an interview with james done shortly before the oscars started and he seemed very awkard and uncomfortable i even mentioned it to my sister

Chica said...

Excellent points Bobbyanna. I was harsh on James but a lot of it was the producers fault.

A definate clash of personalities, The NY Times described them as James Dean co-hosting with Debbie Reynolds!

James is not the type to host a show like that, Hugh Jackson would have been better with Anne IMO. They were great doing that musical skit a few years ago when he was hosting.

He skipped his own after Oscar party and flew back to NY I read. I hope Anne didn't go MIA last night as well, she did her best.

Michelle and Reese chatting at the VF party, sounds more intriguing than the Reese and Taylor chat, LOL!

I hope some VF pics show up, love the Jake, Michelle and RDJ pics. Amy and Paltrow's gowns are gorgeous and Jake looks so handsome and classy in his tux.

UltraViolet said...

I was over Franco well before the Oscars, but I do feel bad for the sheer amount of criticism aimed at him. I'm not sure why they didn't play off his quirky persona and instead just jammed him into the usual patter. It was like a bad SNL episode.

From Us:

No word yet on whether any of the former lovers endured any awkward run-ins at Sunset Tower. Gyllenhaal, who split with Swift via phone just before New Year's, brought his Oscar date (an unidentified young, curly-haired brunette) and chatted with Vera Farmiga, 50 Cent and other stars.

Clad in Armani Prive and $1 million worth of Neil Lane jewels, Witherspoon, 35, showed up at the bash with her fiance, CAA agent Jim Toth. She and Gyllenhaal, 30, split in late 2009 after a year and a half together.


Why do Reese's talking mouthpieces want us to think they dated for only a year and a half. It's bizarre.

UltraViolet said...

From the Denver Post:


Close by, country-pop star Taylor Swift, statuesque in a sparkling Zuhair Murad mini dress, kept close to friend and actress Emma Stone. Swift later stole away to meet up with Jake Gyllenhaal, who she has been linked to in the past. The two spoke in hushed tones by the women's restroom. Swift left the party alone.


As usual, take with a mountain of salt.

You can vote for Jake in MTV's Oscar poll:

This was in EW's What You Missed list:

4. When Jake Gyllenhaal came out to present an award, James Franco gave him a little off-camera what’s-up-bro wave and head nod

mary said...

yea UV i read that piece about jake and taylor but i also read another article that said jake and taylor stayed on opposite sides of the room and didnt speak so who knows what story is the right one

bobbyanna said...

"I'm not sure why they didn't play off his quirky persona and instead just jammed him into the usual patter. It was like a bad SNL episode."

UV, that's exactly right.

If Jake & Taylor ever exchanged as much as a hello, it would be headlines! LOL! Everyone watches that stuff, even without watching. headlines.

Sounds very similar to Taylor's previous fiction writing sources. Whispering outside the restroom? Uh,no. I'm not buying this one. I think that ship has sailed.

UltraViolet said...

New post forgive the giant pictures and the ones that periodically don't show up.
