jlh | Oscar follow-up

I passed out pretty immediately after the last award, which made me glad in the end that I was actually home. My Oscar dinner, by the way, was Baked Lays and Onion Dip, and a "ice cream soda" with Vanilla Tofutti+Diet Dr. Brown's Black Cherry soda, you know, just because. I thought Ellen was a great host, really funny and irreverent, and I imagine they'll keep her around for a while, which is really fine, even though I thought Jon Stewart was great last year. Anyway, links:

Some of you may have been refreshing my post during the ceremony—and if you were, I love you guys!—but I was refreshing Defamer liveblogging the Oscars.
Maybe it's the generational change, or the increased investment National Public Radio has been making in its LA bureau (its morning show is anchored partly from there and there has been a notable increase in coverage—appropriate, as it is our second largest city) but there is actually a red carpet review on NPR's website.
E!Online has been the center of morning-after coverage for years now, and their GlamCam, where you can vote for your favorites on video, continues that tradition. (Mind, there's music, so watch your volume if you're at work.)
And there's always the venerable oscars.org, where you can search their incomparable database for all your need-to-know Oscar facts.

My fashion favs were Gwynneth (I loved the art deco effect on her Marc Posen gown), Penelope (even with the feathered train), Jodie Foster (I envy people who can wear things that bring out their eyes), and Djimon Hounsou who looked spectacular in brown. Peter Sarsgaard is always a favorite of mine, of course, and I loved his, Leo's, and Ryan Gosling's tamed scruffiness.
