I saw Date Night

It's adorable. Tina Fey and Steve Carell are all kinds of awesome as you might expect.

I HATE that I like the song "Burn It to the Ground." It's Nickelback... ughhhhh.

the SAG awards

Is Sandra Bullock really that pretty? Whoah. And it's kinda nice to see 30 Rock not winning everything, though Tina Fey never should have been winning "actress" awards in the first place, honestly.

Also, I've seen that "I'll be waiting for you with my legs open" clip of Penelope Cruz from Nine way too many times, gross.

Baby Mama

Eh. It's okay. It's got its moments, but it's not that funny, though I think the relationship between Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's characters was really nicely done. Honestly, some of the music was really weird, and I wish Steve Martin had a bigger or better part, because he's Steve Martin. It also helped me prove my theory that Amy Poehler is, frankly, just a better comedic actress than Tina Fey.

The ending was contrived BEYOND, but that's okay.

I was reading old posts and... apparently I thought Kristin Wiig was better than Amy Poehler on SNL? Ew. EWWWWWWWWWWWW. Was I on drugs?!?!

LMAO.

So, Tina Fey = Sarah Palin. We all know this.

After last night's embarrassing counter-speech to Obama's, Bobby Jindal and his adorable little Southern accent and general attitude have given off the impression that he is much like similarly adorable Kenneth the Page. Jack Donaghy is already like any given Republican, so...

Republican primary in 2012 = any given episode of 30 Rock. This will be so awesome.

Also, words cannot express my delight that Chris Matthews audibly sighed "oh God" as Jindal walked out. I secretly (well, maybe not so much now haha) love Chris Matthews SO MUCH. He's like some little kid who ate way too much candy and JUST CAN'T KEEP HIS EXCITEMENT AND FEELINGS TO HIMSELF, OKAY?!!!!!!

Technical difficulties (not really).

So it's going to be an excessively busy week for me, and I don't really have time to cover the Oscars in as much depth as I'd like until the end of the week. So I promise I will get to them, but it will more than likely be, like, Friday afternoon, when no one cares any more. Oh well. ;_;

I will leave you with a picture of oompa loompa doompity dawesome:

I LOVE THIS. Except Meryl, girl, I love you, but give it back to its rightful owner this year.

Oh, and

Yes, Anne, this was adorable. I will continue to irrationally dislike you (well, actually, it's not irrational, I find you completely annoying and like a twit personality-wise, and a completely untalented actress. Yes, you were fine in Rachel Getting Married and I don't begrudge your acting, but if that role was played by an actress it was trendy to dislike as opposed to one it's trendy to like - like Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johansson - I wonder how it would have been reviewed). Hugh Jackman, you get a B-. You tried - and goddamn it you freakin' smoldered with your hotness - but sorry, I just need some snarky-ass Jon Stewart jokes to get me through the ceremony. It didn't help that you were part of the most upset-less Oscar ceremony in, like, years. Oh, and speaking of hosting...


Tina, you looked AMAAAAAZING (see what happens when you don't wear boring-ass black for once?!) and yes, you were the best presenter along with Steve Martin. But oh my God, people, people, people, she does not need to host next year!!! Like Tina isn't already hyped enough by the media.

Judd Apatow, congrats, that short about the comedies of 2008 was the best thing you've done so far. Hilarious.

You'll get the rest of my snark on Friday or so...

Tina Fey named Entertainer of the Year.

Here ya go.

I still find her overrated, and almost desperately so, on 30 Rock. But it's hard to argue with this decision in the wake of her GLORIOUS Saturday Night Live Palin skits. I'm sure you've seen them, but here they all are, because why not:

The one that started 'em all, and gave us the line of the year, absolutely: "I can see Russia from my house!" (I'm not crazy about Amy Poehler, but her Hillary here, and her Katie Couric in the next skit, are very underrated.)

"When cornered, you become increasingly adorable." The fact that they used Palin's actual words is a big fat middle finger to her face and I LOVE it.

Fey's Palin and Ferrell's Bush are like a dream come true together. "Both candidates are heavily patriotized and display much characterization." Screw 30 Rock, can Ferrell and Fey just have a TV show about the wacky antics of Bush and Palin?

John McCain is fucking HILARIOUS. He really needs to like, quit politics and join the cast of SNL. I love the fact that he's in a skit that openly mocks his certainly mock-worthy running mate in so many ways. Even Cindy is sort of charming here! Awww.

There is not a thing about this that is not perfect. The random Queen Latifah cameo is great, but the lampooning of EVERYTHING (Biden's passionate arguing for gay rights, but then saying he doesn't support gay marriage; Palin's inane "there you go, Joe!" insults; the fucking winking, "shout-outs," and refusal to actually answer the goddamn questions; Biden's bizarre everyman expressions and McCain love; the Scranton insulting!; the Republicans' constant need to bring up Ronald Reagan; MAVERICK!) pushes it over the top. The only problem is that I don't want to bang the guy who plays Joe Biden, but he does a pretty good job anyway. It's amazing.

After a very extended haitus, Celebrity Thoughts Returns.

Amy: Um... what the fuck, Jeremy, this is so inappropriate.
Tina: I'm just gonna stand here and pretend this isn't totally awkward. Maybe I should try and pull him away from Amy? Nah.
Jeremy: I HAD FIVE LONG ISLAND ICED TEAS IN THE HOTEL BAR AND I WON MY THIRD EMMY AND I AM FEELING GOOOOODDD!!!!!!! I WILL KISS THIS THEORETICAL BABY!!!

in case you missed it...

Holy crap, how amazing are Tina and Amy here?

"I can see Russia from my house!"

Too bad Michael Phelps was super awkward (though not nearly as bad as Derek Jeter, who, as much as I love him, should never ever act ever!) and looks like something you see before you die if you've led an awful life.

Wha?

The Harold and Kumar sequel opened LAST WEEKEND? I didn't even hear about it.

...And it got beaten out by the awful-looking Baby Mama? I love me some Tina Fey, but no. No no no.
