And the award for least-dressed female in a supporting role goes to
Mar 26 '01 (Updated Mar 27 '01)
The Bottom Line Some things are getting better and some things are getting worse.
I've come to watch awards shows basically for two reasons: I want to see if any movies I like actually win and I want to see how poorly people dress. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did pretty well, but they weren't even nominated for special effects. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I want to see "Traffic" now, but only because my parents panned it. Also, I don't know if it's just me, but it always seems like a few of the nominees in each category are from a few years ago. Maybe I have so sense of time or something.
Bob Dylan took best song, but I have to admit that there wasn't much competition. Björk was the only other nominee that I liked at all. As usual, Dylan seemed spaced out during the performance, almost like he wasn't really aware of what was going on. To boot, no one I know can figure out what was going on with all those close-ups.
Anyway, betting back to Björk, what was the deal with that swan? I thought it was just another bad dress until I noticed the head. It was then that I realized that it was a bizarre dress. Most of the men were smart enough to wear a tuxedo or something. Looking at the way the women dressed, I wish they had a similar option. Jennifer Lopez had an interesting dress. Unfortunately, good taste prohibited me from getting a chance to see it.
Another major complaint I always have is the lack of good categories. Sure, there's best actor in a dramatic, feature-length, freckling film that was subtitled. That's fine, but want to see stuff like "Best movie reviewer" or something. (For the Emmy's, we can have something like "least-dressed female at an awards show.")
Steve Martin did a good job for the most part. There were a few jokes I didn't get and a few that I would have avoided had I been in his place. Still there were a few lines that were right on target.
