TwitterNation Oscar Recap

Oscars 2009

Hollywood.com joined thousands of others on TwitterNation microblogging the Oscars. But we decided to set up a mini-contest in which the winners were given the chance to see their responses to some of the Oscar related questions on Hollywood.com . Here’s who won:

[IMG:L]What was your favorite moment?

Eurokid2000: Ben Stiller as Joaquin Phoenix
LisaSullivan: Kate Winslet and her dad whistling to her was one of the sweetest moments. Ever!
Asexiness: The smile on the faces of the children from Slumdog Millionaire after winning Best Picture!
Truthuniversaly: Seeing Robert Pattinson on screen for like 20 seconds, and the sneak peeks of him behind Mickey Rourke‘s head. Yum!
DvinMsM: Kate Winslet’s acceptance speech was so special- genuinelly heartfelt, joyous & gracious especially when she thanked deceased producers Pollack & Minghella I welled up w/tears!
Copiousnotes: The screenplay award presentation by Steve Martin and Tina Fey, which was witty, interesting and what Oscar needs more of.
Hollywood.com: Any of the group introductions – did anyone else feel it was like a Rabbi talking to a kid at his/her Bar Mitzvah?

[IMG:R]What did you think of Hugh Jackman as the Oscars Host?

Eurokid2000: Great job singing and dancing!
LisaSullivan: He was no Billy Crystal but he made it entertainingly worthwhile.
Asexiness: Hugh Jackman tore it up like Wolverine
Truthuniversaly: Hugh Jackman was barely on screen. What’s the point of a host if he isn’t hosting? Just stick with a voice over, Academy!
DvinMsM: I was disappointed I found him to be bland, his material not funny, and he was suprisingly uncharismatic for a decent actor I admire!
Copiousnotes: Very funny, witty and entertaining. He did everything he could
Hollywood.com: Hugh did a fine job…he kept the show moving, and entertained a bit.

[IMG:L]Who was the best dressed, and why?

Eurokid2000: Marisa Tomei, the color was great and the dress fit well
LisaSullivan: Anne Hathaway. She just glowed.
Asexiness: Taraji [P Henson] looked TA-rrific in Roberto Cavalli
Truthuniversaly: Anne Hathaway stole the show in her gown. Pure elegance!
DvinMsM: Penelope Cruz looked like a glorious confection in Balenciaga…true “old” Hollywood glamour & elegance!
Copiousnotes: Penelope Cruz. Classic gown that I think Tim Gunn said was twice as old as she is. She looked stunning for her big night, and Kate looked fantastic too.
Hollywood.com: Marisa Tomei looked fantastic.


[IMG:R]Who was the worst dressed, and why?

Eurokid2000: Jessica Biel, dress did not fit well it looked too big on her
LisaSullivan: Hate to say it, Beyonce. Her dress reminded me of a grandmother’s curtain in the early 1900’s. And I LUV her 2. L
Asexiness: Beyonce, I hope you still have the receipt for that fabric you bought at Wal-Mart.
Truthuniversaly: Worst dressed is tied for Sophia Loren: overtanned and overtightened, and Beyonce who looked huge in her black and gold dress.
DvinMsM: Tilda Swinton surpassed last year’s horrific frock with an oversized top & pants that cried “shlepper!” from the mountaintops!
Copiousnotes: Any man who wore a necktie. Men’s formal wear is looking more and more like business attire. Come on, this is a big night.
Hollywood.com: Beyonce — You may be the best female singer right now, but that dress plus that lip syncing job did you in.

[IMG:L]Who got the biggest snub?

Eurokid2000: Frost/Nixon
LisaSullivan: The award for Sound Mixing should’ve gone to Dark Knight. It was a technological marvel!
Asexiness: Mickey Rourke: His dog just died, couldn’t they throw him a bone?
Truthuniversaly: Mickey Rourke. I wanted to hear him thanks his dogs again.
DvinMsM: Bruce Springsteen for not having his song from “the Wrestler” nominated
Copiousnotes: The Dark Knight, which had to watch a bunch of technical awards go to Benjamin Button.
Hollywood.com: I don’t think anyone really got snubbed to bad this year…Maybe Slumdog got too many awards?

[IMG:R]Better looking couple last night: Jen Anniston/John Mayer or Brad/Angelina

Eurokid2000: Jen and John, they wore color that popped!
LisaSullivan: Without question Brad/Angelina. They are beautiful together and so in love. It’s obvious.
Asexiness: Nobody disses Tim Gunn, nobody — Team Aniston/Mayer
Truthuniversaly: As much as I despise Brangelina, John Mayer is a total waste of space! Jen needs a new man, stat. Huge lips and Benjy B pulled it off.
DvinMsM: Brangelina ironically look like the perfect couple atop a wedding cake/she can wear a sack & be stunning & his smile just dazzles!
Copiousnotes: Brad and Angelina
Hollywood.com: Team Maniston.
