Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon…Look It Up On The Internet.

Welp, it’s that time of the year again. Academy Awards time! Last year, we were separated by many a miles because Allie was in Florida and Mindy was in Michigan. And although we haven’t blogged much this year, we’re back now. For the Oscars.

The art awards are going on right now– Alice In Wonderland won for Best Art Direction and Inception won for Best Cinematography, and we are pleased with both of those. But we can’t wait to see who wins the big awards tonight!

But let’s rewind for a second to that moment when we were introduced to tonight’s hosts, James Franco and Anne Hatheway. We were expecting so much more from the (not really) phenomenal duo, but their opening act lacked so much originality. Although we enjoyed cameos by Alec Baldwin and Morgan Freeman. We were hoping for some sort of musical number or more comedic jokes. They kept it a lot calmer than say, Ricky Gervais did at the Golden Globes. However, we have hope for them for throughout the show, and hopefully they will be picking up the pace.

Oh man Kirk Douglas! What a man! It would be an honor to have him hand you an award. And to compliment Anne Hathaway– how flattering! Kirk Douglas is just an adorable old man. The Best Supporting Actress went to Melissa Leo! Not too much of a shocker. On a side-note– she is SO MUCH PRETTIER in real life than she is in the movie.

We’re not horribly surprised that Melissa Leo won. The category could have gone to her, Amy Adams, or even Helena Bonham Carter, but Melissa Leo has been sweeping this category during this awards season, and she deserves it. She was great in The Fighter!

We haven’t seen any of these animated short films, but they all looked….animated. What we like the most so far is that Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are presenting the awards. What an attractive duo. Mmm mmm mmm.

Best Full Length Animated Feature Film goes to Toy Story 3. Surprise Surprise. Not. It’s the highest grossing movie of the year. And Pixar wins every year.

Every. Year.

Damn. Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem are looking classy in those white tuxedos. We just want Javier Bardem to present every award so we can listen to his sexy accent for hours. And so we can look at him. Obviously. Aaron Sorkin deserves Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network, so we are glad he won it. We don’t think The Social Network should take home Best Picture, but they do deserve some acknowledgment because it was a fantastic movie, and it was such a great screenplay, so kudos to you Aaron Sorkin.

Yesssss more of Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin. Even if it was just for a little bit. If Christopher Nolan doesn’t win this Oscar, that will be a huge snub. WUT. WUT. HOW DID INCEPTION NOT WIN FOR BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY? Who would have EVER thought and written out such a ridiculous concept?! Christopher Nolan has been snubbed by the Academy time and time again. We were really excited when Inception got a nomination, and we thought this was the category it was a shoe-in for tonight. Butttttt apparently not.

Either way, The King’s Speech was a fantastic movie. Superb. And British. We can’t wait until Colin Firth wins Best Actor.

YAY ANNE HATHAWAY COSTUME CHANGE. And singing! Anne Hathaway singing to Hugh Jack-ass….or someone who should not be named [not Voldemort]…this is the type of introduction we were looking for. Thank you, Anne Hathway. Thank you.

JAMES FRANCO IN DRAG. And making a Charlie Sheen joke. This night just got way better.

Dame Helen Mirren and Russell Brand…what a beautiful couple. And hilarious! Russell translating Helen’s french is too great. Best Foreign Film goes to In A Better World. We don’t want to hear this woman speak, we want more of Helen and Russell. Or Javier. Mmmm.

Heyyyy Reese Witherspoon. You are soooo pretty, but WHAT is with that hair? You look like Barbie. C’mon! Christian Bale better win for Best Supporting Actor. It’s pretty much between him and Geoffrey Rush. But it BETTER go to Christian Bale. Even though Mark Ruffalo is really hot. But if Christian Bale doesn’t win, it would just be a huge shame.

DASS WASSUP. But shave that beard, Christian Bale. OH SHEESH, every time he talks we fall more and more in love with him. And that speech, what a speech, he was crying….we might have been crying….and we love him EVEN. MORE.

Anne Hathaway’s dresses need to start getting better. These costume changes aren’t the best. But Hugh Jackman’s looks are the best. We could watch him all day. And all night. Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, we don’t need to see her. Or her unmovable face. How she showed so much emotion in “Rabbit Hole” we’ll never know. She might have went off botox for a few months. This stage is awesome. That orchestra was awesome. Hugh Jackman is still awesome. Nicole Kidman’s dress is not.

Yeahhhhh Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Best Original Score for The Social Network. It was a great score, and it’s cool ’cause now Trent Reznor has an Oscar.

They are pairing some VERY beautiful people together for these awards. Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey. Inception wins for Best Sound Mixing. Woooo Inception! Even if it isn’t Nolan getting an award, we are glad the movie is still being recognized for some of its awesomeness.

More awards for sound. And for Inception. This one was for Best Sound Editing. Yayyyy Inception!

CATE BLANCHETT. YES. YES. YES. What a woman. What a dress. She should be presenting something so much greater than Best Makeup. But we are just happy to see her. The Wolfman won, not that we care. We only care about Cate. And that hair cut. It’s great. Cate’s great. The Wolfman makeup was also apparently great. And gross.

Oh yes, more Cate! And costume design! Alice In Wonderland won. Great costumes.We are way more interested in everything Cate is doing than the awards she is presenting.

Kevin Spacey! That’s all. No words need to be said about Kevin Spacey, because he is the man. And he reminds us of our high school English teacher. Kevin Spacey. Yeah.

MANDY MOORE! And Chuck! We mean, Zachary Levi!!!! Mandy Moore can sing it. And so can Zach. This is a great performance. Anything with Mandy and Zach is going to be fantastic. Perfection. We can’t wait for Gwyneth Paltrow to sing. That should be interesting.

Once again with the attractive presenters–Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal. They both look very attractive. Best Documentary Short….these movies look intense, but Amy Adam’s dress’ shininess is distracting us. Let’s get back to looking at the presenters. Pretttttyyyyy. And they also presented the award for Best Live Action Short Film. Awww, we don’t know who that guy was, or what that movie was, but we loved his goofy hair, and we loved the last line of his speech.

ANNE HATHAWAY. That dress was almost great. Until we saw the front. Autotuning at the Oscars FTW. This. Is. Great. Great. GREAT. Ohhhh man. That has been the best part of the awards show thus far. Finally, something hilarious.

JUST BECAUSE YOUR DRESS CAN SWAY, DOESN’T MAKE IT GOOD, ANNE HATHAWAY.

Ohhhay, Oprah. Presenting an award for Best Documentary. Maybe she’ll also give everyone in the audience a car. Or something. You get an Oscar, and you get an Oscar, and YOUUUUUU GET AN OSCAR. Or maybe not.

Poor Banksy. We’re sure they don’t make tuxedos with hoodies on them anyway. It would’ve been interesting if he did win, though. Kind of hard to accept an award when NO ONE KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. Unless you really are Justin Timberlake…that’d be hot.

Billy Crystal! Hilarious! What a pleasant surprise!  47! <O>

Ooooh, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Actors are so attractive. These two in particular. Soooooo attractive.  What…..an attractive face off. Even Jude Law can’t seem to out speak Robert’s wittiness. Inception wins again for Best Visual Effects. Or, as we will call it…visual AWESOMENESS. Because Inception was awesome. They then awarded The Social Network an award for Best Film Editing. And the two winners hugged it out. Adorbz.

FINALLY. ANNE HATHAWAY GETS IT RIGHT WITH THE DRESS. Lookin’ classy. James Franco might be high. And we might be loving it… We are definitely loving it. His spiel about the inappropriately titled double entendre movie titles….Winters Bone, Rabbit Hole, How To Train Your Dragon. And he kept a straight face the whole time, which is more than we can say for Anne.

Florence Welch! YES! She is actually wearing a color for this performance, and she is looking great. And sounding great, but that is no surprise. Her voice is stunningly beautiful.

And now for Gwyneth to sing….this performance is not nearly as entertaining as when she performed with Cee-Lo and the muppets at the Grammys. She’s still got a set of pipes, though.

And the Best Original Song goes to “We Belong Together” for Toy Story 3! Woooo Toy Story 3. Boo Jennifer Hudson’s boobs. We are glad we don’t have to see them anymore. Jennifer Hudson looks great, don’t get us wrong, but her boobs look smooshed and there is some weird tan line thing going on.

Celine Dion! She just had twins and she looks SO. GORGEOUS. The In Memory dedication at the Oscars is always so heartbreaking. And Celine Dion’s voice is really perfect for this dedication. On the kind of bright side, less people seemed to die this year than did last year. Hopefully we can keep losing less and less talented people.

Halle Berry….STOP BLINKING SO MUCH. You do look really gorgeous though.

Hillary Skank [Swank] presenting Best Director with Kathryn Bigelow, who we still don’t understand why she won last year. This year has a lot of great nominees. It could go to anyone, and it would be great. Tom Hooper! The King’s Speech! Yes! The King’s Speech is sweeping the awards this season, and it is quite pleasing.

Best Actor and Best Actress awards! Yes yes yes! It’s always fun seeing Jeff Bridges! He is the man. And The Dude. This award is a tough one. It should definitely go to Natalie Portman for playing Nina in “Black Swan,” but if there is a persons career who deserves an Oscar, its Annette Bening. She probably doesn’t deserve Best Actress for “The Kids Are All Right,” but overall, she does. But really, if Natalie Portman does NOT win, that would be such a shame.

AWWWWWW, Benjamin Millepied walking Natalie Portman up the Oscar steps. Oh man, Natalie Portman is so great. We love her. SOOOO MUCH. SHE IS MAKING US CRY. We are glad she is not laughing and making silly jokes like she was at the Golden Globes. This is such a great acceptance speech. Awwwwww man.

And now! Best Actor! Haha, Sandra Bullock teasing Javier Bardem about his haircut in “No Country For Old Men,” hilarious. Alright, it’s official…Sandra’s presenting is really funny. From calling Jeff “Dude”  and asking him to let someone else win for a change to asking Jesse Eisenberg to accept her friend request on Facebook, she is killing it. She even made Colin Firth laugh…and that’s hard, because he’s British, and they don’t laugh very easily.

All of these actors are absolutely great and all of these roles were absolutely fantastic. But Colin Firth deserves this award! This is such a pleasure! His acceptance speech is good, and he is about to cry, and it is adorable. Colin Firth deserves this award, not only for The King’s Speech, but also for his career. Except for What A Girl Wants, we should all forget he ever made that. It’s always nice to hear Colin Firth speak, he is so poised. And British. And we love the British.

ANNE HATHAWAY. YOUR DRESSES THIS EVENING HAVE BEEN SO NOT GREAT. Except that red one, which was fabulous.

The Best Picture Award! Ten really great films are nominated this year. It could go to any number of them, but really, we’re all hoping for The King’s Speech. It’s pretty much swept award show season so far. It was great. Great acting, great directing, great script, great music, great everything.

YES! YES! YES! The King’s Speech gets 4 awards this evening! All very deserving!

Overall, nothing was horribly surprising about these Academy Awards. James Franco and Anne Hathaway were politely funny. Nothing TOO entertaining. Autotuning movies was hilarious, but that had nothing to do with them. These awards had great potential, James Franco and Anne Hathaway really appeal to a younger audience and they could have, and should have, done so much more with their hosting responsibilities.

As far as winners go, there were no shockers, really. Everyone who won was deserving, and that was that.

And this is how we felt about The Oscars, over all.

Thumbs Up for Famous People!

We hope you enjoyed our return to blogging! And The Oscars! Goodnight!

I hear you, and I see you. Did I come from a vagina?

Remember when you were 16 and DID NOT have driver’s education with your mother? Poor Haddie. Unfortunately, in the second season premiere of Parenthood, that is exactly what Haddie had to succumb to. It hurt us just watching it. Her mother, Kristina, is a bit crazy- I mean the woman wouldn’t let her daughter go on the road after FOUR DAYS in the parking lot. Seriously. We were on the road the first day. SNAP.

In other Braverman family news, we miss Jabbar. Jabbar?? JABBAR??? What kind of name is that???? He’s so adorable! It was so heartbreaking watching Crosby miss his son and his girlfriend/baby-mama, Jasmine. It was also very disappointing watching Crosby and Jasmine’s skype-sex call fail and get all pixely. Gotta keep it TV-14. While Crosby is busy missing his kid, Lauren Graham’s character, Sarah, is busy looking for her kids missing shoes, generating a BRILLIANT idea for her brother, Adam (who she’s also dating in real life. WUT.). Speaking of Adam, his new boss is William Baldwin… and we do NOT like him. He’s a dick. With a Yacht. And a Cottage. And some other fancy shit. WHY does he have to keep infiltrating our shows?! First Gossip Girl (where he was daddy Vanderwoodsen), and NOW PARENTHOOD. AUGH.

The best part is probably witnessing the awkward sex-talk with your child…. your five-year-old child. Julia and Joel’s kid is just too smart for them. A really subtle way to ask your parents where babies come from is definitely, “did you come from a vagina?”. After Julia explains to her daughter the process of how babies are made (which we’ll spare you), she realizes she wants to have another kid. We got from Joel’s face that he does not…ruh roh.

Drama that will have to wait until the next episode! We’ll be ready… we hope.

Quit Playing Games With My Heart, Josh Schwartz

Oh. My. Gossip Girl.

So, yesterday kicked off the TV fall premiere month for us with the fourth season premiere of Gossip Girl. When we last left that Upper East Side crew, Blair and Serena were headed off to Paris, Chuck GOT SHOT, Georgina came back and told Dan she was his baby-mama, and Nate was making his way through sleeping with everyone in Chuck’s black book. Oh. And Jenny went on a train to someplace. Which was awesome. Because we hate Jenny.

HOWEVER. After last night, Jenny would be a better character to have on the show than Georgina. We didn’t think it was possible to hate anyone more than we hate Jenny, but Georgina really takes the cake for hatred.

Anyway. Throughout the entire episode we hear nothing about Chuck being shot until the very end, when there is this really odd montage going on about someone finding his wallet but him being with some random girl and blah blah blah. We don’t care. We just want Chuck Bass back.

Blair and Serena were in Paris. Blair pushed Serena in a fountain. Serena got into Colombia, Blair got jealous, they got over it, the usual. They both wore some pretty unattractive outfits while they went on dates with some pretty attractive french men.

Nate slept with a lot of women. A lot. But of course during one of his conquests he meets this nice girl, and she decides not to give him her number. But, as fate would have it, they ran into each other at some fancy pants event later on, and Nate gets this girls number. And then he calls her, and we see inside her apartment, where she is stapling tags back onto clothes shes worn (sneaky sneaky) and has a bulletin board full of pictures of Nate and Serena and Blair and the whole crew (creepy creepy, stalky stalky, take your pick) EITHER WAY. It’s a nice dramatic twist we can handle. It’s the drama we want. The drama we don’t want:

GEORGINA. and her baby. Even though the baby is kind of cute. But either way, Dan is an idiot and did not get a paternity test and then believed Georgina when she said she already got one, and then he signed the birth certificate. Could he BE any stupider? Probably not. Except for the entire episode he did not tell his family about the kid, so that was pretty stupid also.

Anyway. There are so many unanswered questions we have from this episode. Mostly, THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH CHUCK BASS? Or should we say, Henry? And also stalker-chick. But really, he got shot and no one mentioned him until the last 5 minutes of the episode? This isn’t “Chuck,” Josh Schwartz, GG isn’t all about the sneaky cliffhangers and danger, get your TV shows straight.

“I’m high as a kite! That’s the last time I do a prayer circle with Snoop Dogg.”- 2010 VMAs

Well, the VMA’s were tonight, and they were hosted by none-other than Allie’s favorite person in the entire world, Chelsea Handler. While not all of her jokes were well received, she had a few really good ones. Such as, “Imagine how good Justin Bieber’s music is going to be when he sees a vagina. Pikachu!” And making an oral-sex joke about the guy who plays Alcide on True Blood. He’s hot.  Mmm mmm mmmm.

Another great thing about the VMAs was that Deadmau5 did the music, and he is SICK. And he had a super great mouse head for the evening with some hella-cool LED features.

Other than those two things, the VMAs were not nearly as exciting as they were last year. No Kanye interruption, no unforgettable performances, Justin Bieber lip-synched, blah blah blah.

Eminem opened up the show with Not Afraid (wut up, overplayed song) and then Rihanna came out (another overplayed song) but it was still a cool performance. The majority of the performances weren’t as spectacular as we were hoping they would be, but they weren’t bad either. Except for Linkin Park’s performance. But that’s just because we had no idea what they were doing there and no one really cares about Linkin Park anymore.

The Bieb’s performance was entertaining, but he lip-synched so we were not OVERLY impressed. Plus, we already knew about all his mad skills because we have some severe cases of Bieber Fever. We adore him… in the we’d-love-to-baby-sit you sense (And also the we just adore you sense).

Usher’s performance was really cool also, but it’s not something that we’ll be talking about for the next year. Same goes for B.o.B. and Hayley Williams (we loved her outfit, though), and for Taylor Swift (we adore her… but can she EVER sing in-tune during a live performance? Seriously.), and Florence + The Machine (we were surprised that she was even in the VMAs… as in we didn’t think that she was that popular in the United States), and even Kanye.

Wasn’t Kanye’s song supposed to be an apology or something to Taylor Swift for last years VMAs? It didn’t really seem like an apology, more of a toast to his douchey-ness.

What can we say, Kanye really set the bar high last year at the VMAs for something awesome to happen this year, and the only cool thing was that they let Kanye and T. Swift be in the same room. No big deal.

The awards that were given out weren’t surprising, either. GaGa won everything (surprise, surprise). And she wore her meat dress. And then she asked Cher to hold her meat purse. And then she announced the name of her new album. So, pretty much the entire night was about Lady GaGa… we still love her, though. She is an amazing woman. A bit crazy, but nonetheless amazing, and we can’t say that she didn’t deserve all the awards she got. And of course, her outfits were ridiculous, and we didn’t expect anything less from the mother monster. If you’re one of those people who still awes at her outrageous outfits, get over it.

There were a few other things that happened during the show tonight, but let’s be honest, nothing was surprising and nothing had shock value (Lady GaGa isn’t shocking anymore, its normal now) and nothing was breathtaking. But, we still enjoyed them none-the-less. Hopefully next year something more memorable will happen.

IN OTHER NEWS- Entertainment47 will be back to blogging on a regular basis in these next couple weeks, what with the return of all our shows. Gossip Girl and Parenthood this week, and pretty much every other show we love in the week after that! We cannot wait and we hope you are just as excited!

Emmy’s 2010… And Also Our Return To Blogging!

We hope you all have enjoyed your summers, we did, and after three long months of being apart and missing each other, we’re finally reunited and back again!!!

In case you missed our faces, here they are:

We figured this would be the perfect night to come back, because it’s the Emmy’s!!!!!

We’re just going to dive right in and let you know what we think about the winners and losers and the show in general.

OMG. WHAT. AN. INTRO! If you want to see our reaction when we saw Tina Fey, then John Hamm and Betty White booty dancin’, and then HURLEY, and Joel McHale, and then Sue Sylvester join the Glee Cast and broke out dancing and singing (and of course, saying no to Kate Gosling… good call), we stayed like this for pretty much the entire intro:

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series: NEILNEILNEILNEILNEILNEIL—…. Eric Stonestreet! Well, I guess we’re okay with that since we love Modern Family… and Allie met his TV boyfriend this summer. But really, as much as we love Modern Family, we really wish Neil Patrick Harris could have won the nickname Neil Hat-Trick Harris. But either way– YAY MODERN FAMILY!

Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series: Steve Levitan & Christopher Lloyd- Modern Family. Is funny sexy? Well look at me. Then look at him. Now look at me. Now look at him… We’re on a horse. Gotta love The Old Spice Commercial, and all parodies of it. And Tina Fey is always sexy, and funny. We want to be her.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series: Jane Lynch- “Glee.” We get that “Glee” is a great show, and it’s probably going to win a bunch of awards, but Kristen Wiig, come on! We love her! But we also love Jane Lynch. And her dress is much prettier this year than it was last year. She should probably stop rambling about Buddhism in her thank-you speech though. But either way, congrats Jane Lynch!

Augh, Lauren Graham, WE LOVE YOU, but what the hell are you wearing? Your dress makes you look fat. Yeah, we said it.

Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series: Ryan Murphy- “Glee.”Surprise, surprise. But seriously, we’re proud of “Glee.”

Sidenote: John Hodgman (The PC Guy) keeps saying witty things while the winners are walking up on stage, and it is pretty brilliant.

Sidenote part 2: George Clooney. Modern Family. There could be nothing better.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series: Jim Parsons- “The Big Bang Theory.” Geek chic FTW. As much as we wanted almost everyone else to win, we are pretty pumped about Jim Parsons. Nerds unite!

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS. He really knows how to suit up.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series: Edie Falco- “Nurse Jackie.” Well, we’re surprised. We’re kind of glad Lea Michele didn’t win because “Glee” doesn’t need all these awards. But we would have preferred Tina Fey or Toni Colette, or Amy Poehler– not because we watch Parks and Rec but because we fricken love Amy Poehler!

Kim Kardashian saying two lines during a Jimmy Fallon song = probably the only reason she was at the Emmys in the first place. Annnnnnnd now for the Reality TV section…orrrr a section that we really don’t care about. Sorry

Well, we may not care about Reality TV that much, but we do love Will Arnett and Keri Russell! We do not love Keri Russell’s dress…it looks like something she could have gotten from Target or Old Navy or something. Come on, it’s the Emmys, where’s the class?

DRAMA SECTION! That was a pretty comedic introduction for the drama awards. (OMG LOST!)

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series: Matthew Wiener and Erin Levy, “Mad Men.” We obviously wanted “Lost” to win, but we accept that “Mad Men” won because Jon Hamm is delicious. Mmmm.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: Aaron Paul, “Breaking Bad.” COME ON. LOST IS OVER. SHOW SOME RESPECT. Alright, we are OK with this award because Aaron Paul is pretty attractive.

Emily Deschanel! We like Zooey more, but we’ll take her sister!

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series: Archie Panjabi, “The Good Wife.”…We don’t watch this show either. We can’t handle too much drama, we’re very sensitive bloggers…but we like the name Archie.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series: Bryan Cranston, “Breaking Bad.” LOST IS OVER. WHY CAN’T ANYONE APPRECIATE THAT? We didn’t even necessarily need Matthew Fox to win, but we would have preferred Jon Hamm or Michael C. Hall to win over Bryan Cranston. Maybe we should start watching this show…  but we don’t want to, and probably won’t. We’re stubborn.

Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series: Steve Shill! Dexter! We like Dexter. It’s super creepy, and super good, but really creepy. And he’s British!!!!

A musical tribute to three shows that were canceled this year! 24, Law & Order, and Lost. It’s been decided: Jimmy Fallon is being a very good host! “It was on and mythical, and in the end they died, I didn’t understand it but I tried”- pretty true sentiments about how we felt about the show.

TINA FEYYYYYYY! We obviously love her. And Matthew Morrison. But mostly TINA FEY!

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series: Kyra Sedgwick, “The Closer.” That microphone is too low for her. We’re unimpressed. Congratulations, we hear this is a pretty good show, but if you give that Emmy to Tina Fey give it to her because she deserves it (we might be bitter that Tina didn’t win the Emmy this year), not because you can’t multi-task!

And here comes the Variety section!

Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music, or Comedy Special: The 63rd Annual Tony Awards! Good job, Tony’s! Yay for theater!

Ricky Gervais is giving everyone at the Emmys right now some beer. Let’s talk about how jealous we are. SUPER JEALOUS.

Outstanding Directing for a Variety, Music, or Comedy Series: Bucky Guntz, Opening Olympics Ceremony. Legit, the opening ceremony this year was pretty sweet. And also apparently his name is pretty hilarious. Especially when Ricky Gervais is saying it. Woooo!

Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Acceptable. We really wish that Conan would have won… but NBC wouldn’t let that happen, now would they?

George Clooney, you are such a good person. And such an attractive person. Over all, we approve of any time you are on stage. Or on camera. Or just in our eye sight. Mmm.

…We don’t watch mini-series or made-for-tv movies. Sorry.

MMMMM TRUE BLOOD. Well, mmmmm Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard. Anna Paquin, get your teeth fixed….we’re back to not caring about these awards.

Ok. We have to comment on this girls… attire. They just won for “Temple Grandin” and she was just running up to the stage and her dress was not supportive of this decision. Something could have slipped out. Things were bouncing. We don’t even know who this girl is.

Outstanding Drama Series: Mad Men. Jon Hamm. That’s all that matters. The more Jon Hamm, the better. Also, True Blood probably should not be nominated as a drama….they need a category for vampire porn. Also, we are heartbroken Lost did not win one award. Wah wah.

Outstanding Comedy Series: Modern Family! Yayyyyy! We’re pretty excited about this, and we are also pretty excited Glee didn’t win, because they won almost every other award they were nominated for probably. Also- Modern Family is one of the funniest and greatest new shows on television.

AFTER PARTY AT BETTY WHITE’S HOUSE!

Finale Week

So, I know we said we were going on a blogging hiatus due to our different locations and summer plans. But– it’s season/series finale week/weeks and too much has happened, and personally, my emotions are stirring, and I thought it would be OK to have some blogs during hiatus. Just for fun. So, if you haven’t seen any of the finales of the shows we normally talk about, HUGE SPOILER ALERT. So, be careful. This post covers the finales of Gossip Girl, How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, Grey’s Anatomy, and LOST. I’ve bolded the show titles in case you want to skip some or whatnot. Anyway. Enjoy.

Just another warning- if you haven’t seen any of the above shows finales- SPOILERS AHEAD!

First- Gossip Girl season finale. The one GREAT thing about the finale is that Jenny peaced out. Finally. God, I know it’s only me (Allie) writing, but I can guarantee that if Mindy were here we would look at each other and go “sigh, we hate her.” So, she’s gone! On a train to be with her mom! Good riddance. The real reason Taylor Momsen won’t be in most of the next season is because she had scheduling conflicts between GG and her band. But whatever.

Anyway. This finale was heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. But it also wasn’t fully satisfying. But then again, the season hasn’t really been satisfying. The saddest part was Chuck and Blair breaking up. I (We?) were so hopeful for them to work, and Chuck was going to propose (well, he had a ring) and AH everything for them could have been so perfect, and stupid Jenny had to ruin it by sleeping with Chuck. However, that did cause Dan to punch Chuck, which was kind of bad ass. And then there is Nate and Serena, who broke up, but surprise surprise, they break up every season. Something new needs to happen, and no– not new as in Georgina coming back and being “pregnant” (I don’t believe it), just something new in general. I hope the 4th season picks up and gets stronger.

Other Monday night finales– last night we had the Chuck and How I Met Your Mother finale. How I Met Your Mother was touching. If you watch the show, you know how important the gangs inside jokes are, and one of their jokes is about doppelgangers. Throughout the show, they have seen 4 doppelgangers for 4 members of their gang– Lesbian Robin, Mustache Marshal, Stripper Lily, and Mexican Wrestler Ted. So– a couple episodes ago Lily and Marshal decide that when they see the fifth doppelganger, Barney’s doppelganger, they will start trying to have a baby. Annnnd, in last nights episode they thought they saw Barney’s doppelganger. And it was super cute.

Also in last night’s episode, Robin was offered a job in Chicago and she considered taking it, but she decided she wanted to take a chance on the guy she was seeing instead– which, for Robin, is a big step, because she’s always been a career oriented character. So, when she turned down the job in Chicago, her boyfriend was offered it, and he took it. And. it. was. heart wrenching. Robin was growing as an emotional character and a character looking for romance which is completely opposite of how she was in the first couple seasons, and it was really hard to see her so heartbroken.

Also – Ted went blonde. ‘Nuff said. This season finale had nothing to do with us finding out more about the mother, but it was still a really good episode. BUT I’M GETTING IMPATIENT. I want to see more than her foot!

Now– onto Chuck. Wow. Wow. Wow. What an intense finale. Like, it was so good. I don’t even know where to start. It was definitely one of the best season finales of season finale week. It had action, romance, suspense, intrigue, back-stabbing, spying, kick-ass-ing-ness, and it left off with a cliffhanger about Chuck’s mom. It was a really sad episode because his dad ended up getting killed by Shaw (surprise, he’s alive!) which was super sad, but obviously Chuck, Sarah, Casey, and the rest of their team of friends and spies helped save the day. And multiple intelligence agencies. Wooop! Chuck and Sarah are absolutely adorable, and we love them. (I say we because I know Mindy whole heatedly agrees with me on how adorable the two of them are).

Last Thursday was the Grey’s Anatomy 2 hour season finale. Which was SUPER intense. There was a shooter in the hospital (it was that old guy whose wife died because they pulled the plug and then he sued and then he went out and got a gun and came back to the hospital and went on a killing spree). It was crazy. He shot a bunch of people, but the only ones that ended up dying where the Mercy West people (woop woop) except for the one Mercy Wester who I wanted to die (that stupid girl who is in love with Derek) did not get shot. Derek however, did get shot. And I was a mess. Derek got shot before Meredith could tell him she was pregnant. Derek got shot, and Cristina had to operate on him. But then, during the surgery, the shooter got into the OR and threatened to kill Yang if she didn’t stop, then Meredith stood up and made an amazing Meredith Grey style speech, and the shooter shot Hunt in the arm. After some medical trickery, the shooter went away, Cristina continued operating, and Meredith had to go treat Hunt. During which, she miscarried her baby. Derek got shot before she had the chance to tell him she was pregnant, and she lost the baby before knowing whether or not he would even survive. IT. WAS. NOT. OK. It was so heartbreaking. On the upside, everyone important survived. Alex got shot but he lived, Derek got shot but Cristina saved him, Hunt got shot but only in the arm so he was alive, and no one else important got shot. ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THIS EPISODE- CALLIE AND ARIZONA GOT BACK TOGETHER. Which was adorable. Their break up was super sad, so this was the beautiful bright side of the episode.

And now. Onto the most serious. finale. that this blog will ever probably write about. And it’s really hard to write about it by myself. But, I have to try. I, of course, and talking about the epic two and half series finale of LOST. I don’t even know if I can go into a recap of the episode without crying, and not only crying because it was such a heart felt/ heart breaking/ heart warming episode, but because it was the last episode. Half the tears on Sunday night were due to the episode itself, but the other half were definitely due to the fact that it was the last episode.

So, on the Island, Jack took over Jacob’s position, and him, Lockeness Monster, and Desmond (<3) went to the light. They sent Desmond down to turn off the light, but both Jack and Locke had different theories of what would happen to the Island when that happened. Locke hoped that it would just sink to the bottom of the ocean, whereas Jack hoped that by turning out the light the smoke monster Locke would be no more. Well, it turns out they were both kind of correct. When Desmond took out the light, the Island went over a major weather change (dark and stormy) and also seemed to surfer an earthquake. However, Jack punched Locke, he bled, and that proved that the two of them were both correct. After a tumultuous battle, when Locke had stabbed Jack in the side and was about to cut his throat, Kate comes to the rescue and shoots Locke. Bye bye, Smokey. Then, Jack has to go back and save the Island by putting back on the light. So, he goes to do that, and gives the power of Jacob to Hurley. So, Jack ends up dying on the island in the most poetic of ways, and Hurley and Ben just kick it on the island.

In the sideways world however, everyone is finally coming together, and everyone starts remembering the Island and the people on the Island and every good and bad thing that happened. And it was honestly one of the most beautiful things ever. Jin and Sun remembered, Kate and Jack (Jack was the last to remember), Sawyer and Juliet, Sayid and Shannon, Boone, Hurley, Desmond and Penny, Daniel and Charlotte, Claire and Charlie, Rose and Bernard, Locke, Ben, the whole gang.

After everyone but Jack had remembered the island, they all went to a church for Jack’s father (Christian Shephard’s) funeral, and it was at that moment when Jack saw his father that he realized he was dead also. That everyone was dead. That this was the place they all met, because throughout their lives these people were the most important, these people had the most impact, these people changed their lives. And so Jack walks out of the backroom of the funeral house, goes and sees everyone, and it is just like a reunion of love and happiness and greatness. And at the same time, while you are so happy that everyone is together and with the love of their lives and all that, it is so heartbreaking. Because you realize that they are dead, but its the most poetic thing in the world. And it was a truly satisfying series finale. Confusing, six years in the making, mythological, faithful, and romantic, but it was a satisfying, amazing finale.

And the last shot in the show was Jack on the island, lying down, watching the plane fly over him. And Vincent the dog comes and hangs out with him, and you just see Jack’s eye shut. Which is the opposite of how the show opened six years ago- Jack being awoken on the island and the first thing you see is his eye open.

So- overall. Great series finale. I loved it. I hope you loved it. The producers of LOST always said that while the show was sci-fi and mythological, at the heart of the show it was about the characters, and it was about love. And the finale was definitely character driven and love driven, and it was superb.

Anyway– longest blog entry done now. Sorry for it being super long. Going back on hiatus now. See everyone when our shows return! (sans Lost, of course. Commence heartbreak)
