How do I love thee, Academy Awards? Let me count the ways.
Really. Let me count.
1. For the costumes, from bewitching…
…to bewildering.
2. For speeches that are misunderstood – and oft misquoted…
…and slips of the tongue that make us fans forever.
3. For an evening filled with surprise…
…and dreams come true.
4. For members of our tribe, displaying class and intelligence…
…and others displaying something we don’t really want to think about.
5. For history made…
…and barriers broken.
6. Most of all, for the women.
The beautiful, beautiful women.
The Academy Awards are Sunday night at 8:30 ET on CBS. The Red Carpet arrival show starts at 7. AfterEllen.com will be live tweeting (#IronNobb) and we’ll have full coverage Monday. Don’t miss a minute – I know I won’t.
What’s your favorite part of the Oscars? Who are you looking most forward to seeing? Any predictions for Sunday?
