EVENTS: 81ST ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS - (ARRIVALS & SHOW)
Monday, February 23, 2009

Best Supporting Actress Nominees Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson arrive at the 81st Academy Awards at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood on Sunday, February 22nd.
I actually watched the full show and thought it was very entertaining to say the least. Hugh Jackman was a great host and I loved how they presented the awards this year using past winners to speak about the nominees. Very dope.
With appearances and performances from: Beyonce, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Queen Latifah, Eddie Murphy and more. Peep the pics.

there were too many musical numbers. the first one was OK but the second one with the high schoo musical cast and beyonce was horrendous. it felt rushed. and looked lame
i am cracking up at beyonce trying to sing “at last” and rub it in etta’s face and then END UP LOOKING LIKE A FOOL UP THERE HERSELF!! THAT IS WHAT SHE GETS! Everyone is saying that she wasn’t needed. And she ends up on the worst dressed lists hahaha See there, God don’t like UGLY!
and won’t somebody tell this chile to cover up the hamhocks! She looked really wide and square.
tbe way they presented was cool this year. and Jackman is a good host. Oh yeah, and what was up with Alicia’s wig? When did she start wearing those?

The performance with Beyonce and Hugh Jackman was amazing. You have to have skill to do something like that and only Bee could have did it like that. That is not easy to do, lip singing or not. (I don’t think she was.) It just shows y Bee is number one and will remain number one for a while. *With Great Power Comes Great Haters*
Loved it!! Go Bee!

I am so sick of black people hating on each other. We cant appreciate good talent when we see it. We’re the only race of people that act like there has to be only one good black female RnB singer at a time, like there’s no room for anyone else… Beyonce looked good and her performance was great. Period. Haters deal with that.

well on people.com Beyoncé is in the top 10 of the best dressed list and the first black female so calm down people, all the other people wore the same, I applaud B for wearing her black and gold dress, she definitely pulled it off and was working it, the curves are the keys!

Beyonce performance with Hugh Jackman was just superbly great and for me an appreciative positive moment for black folk.
If she lip sync it was because many of the songs were old numbers which Bey may not have known the words to and they wanted the performance to be perfect. Face it , it was the academy awards and not some talent show in the hood.

Beyonce Haters: Clueless Moronic idiots
Monday, February 23, 2009 /
LOL @ the haters questioning Beyonce’s attendance. Don’t get mad coz she was invited and requested to perform and your favorite artists wasn’t. The performance(directed by the legendary director Baz Luhrmann) was pure hot lava,Beyonce and Hugh Jackman got major chemistry and they sure killed it. LOL @ the haters trying to throw the lip sync card, ummm simpletons they all partially lip synced(including Hugh jackman) which is understandable for this kinda performance. I just love how she sang a few parts of ‘at last’ and the audience started cheering out loud coz they knew wassup.
Now lets get into the fashion:
Alicia : She look a hot mess with that horrid ratty lace front wig with the clown make-up and wearing a similar dress to Natalie Portman(she wore it better)
Halle berry : stunning and gorgeous
Beyonce: daring and bold in a sea of safe and predictable dress. LOL @ Angelina rocking a similar look(from hair to dress) Beyonce rocked at the 2005 oscars
Queen latifah : simply Beautiful.

Everyone looked great!
I love A. Keys dress especially the color it looked good against her skin.
Beyonce is determined to look like Oscar himself…she always wears something gold or with gold in it. I’m on the fence about the dress though, from a distance it looks like HOD. I enjoyed her performance with Hugh Jackman eventhough she was lip synching.
Although Taraji or Viola didn’t win it was good to see them being recognized for their works in good films.
I wasn’t really feeling Whoopi Goldbergs dress, I like how her dreads are cut.
Halle, of course beautiful.

I liked the Oscar this year. I wish more black actors and actresses could win, but I knew taraji wasn’t gonna get it.
Beyonce looked GOOOD!!! But everyone is entiitled to their opinion. I think she is such a beautiful woman. And her performance….SHE WAS GREAT!!! And why make a big deal about her lip syncing (if thats true). She did a great job. Love that woman.
Most peple looked really nice.

Bey looked fab! And that performamance was hot. Nice to see so many black faces at the Oscars. I think this year was the best.
And to however asked why there are no pics of Brad & Ange or Penelope, it’s probably becasue of the same reason why we wouldn’t find Violia or Tariji on a white blog. SMH.

This was about The Academy Awards, appreciating the craft of Film making, (Acting, Directing, Art Direction, etc….) this is not about Beyonce…….lol….this chick gets more attention for anything……She perfromed a little musical number and that’s it…..wasn’t even nominated for anything……Taraji was robbed, Viola Davis was robbed let’s talk about that…….they it’s nice to be nominated, maaan bump that……

Everyone looked good. Taraji BEST DRESSED. BEYONCE & HALLE’S dress are similar in many ways, but on Beyonce it looks like it’s to small for her. It is much classier looking on Halle.

I realize now that you people hate just to hate. You don’t have a valid reason for it other than your bored. Yes, every one’s entitled to their opinions, but Damn..
Get some positivity about yourself. Negativity doesn’t look good on anyone. (its quite ugly in fact) Build your people up.. there are so many people trying to tear us down…I’m positive they don’t need your help.
Everyone looks stunning!! One of the best award shows yet so far this year.

Some of the most ugliest black women post on these blogs. You’re clearly jealous of Beyonce and it shows. Everybody during that performance was lip singing, get over it and stop hating. Some of you really need to get lives and stop worrying about Beyonce. Good god, and I don’t even like her like that but it’s something nasty about ugly black women trashing her day in and out. It’s just pitiful.

Sorry but Bey looked like a flounder fat fish out of water in a side of the road couch get-up.
Yeah, she LIP Synched, DUH!!!! You stans are in such denial. She was trotting her fat ass down the stairs like she was ready to do her usual hoochie coochie dance. SHe was boring, dull, and very brothel like in that fire engine, three sizes toooooo small hooker outfit.
Boring Mrs. Carter, did not steal the show and the redcarpet dress is UGLY…the majority agrees. SHe so needs the spotlight these days. BUt look in those sad eyes, she knows her time is ticking dwindling down to a second. LOL. SHE DID NOT STEAL THE SHOW, she was the typical over-sexed black woman entertaining “The man” with sexually explicit gestures….what else is she good for? NOTHING………….but those dumb retarded carpet poses.

CADIFLOP RECORDS FLOPPED, FLOPPED, FLOPPED.
SHE WAS HOPING A DIRECTOR SEES HER IN GYRATION MOTION AND OFFER HER A PART
HER EGO IS BRUISED AND HAS BEEN BRUISED SINCE JHUD STOLE HER THUNDER
BUT IT WASN’T JUST JHUD
THE HOLLYWOOD INSIDERS SENT BORING BEYONCE AND COKE NOSE MATTHEW A CLEAR AND SIMPLE MESSAGE:
YOU WILL NOT BULLY YOUR WAY INTO HOLLYWOOD.
YOU CANNOT ACT
YOU ARE OVERRATED
STICK TO HOOCHIE COOCHIE POPPING BECAUSE OUTSIDE OF THAT YOU ARE BORING AS WATCHING PAINT DRY EVEN ON A MURAL. NOW THAT’S BORING.
SHE DIDN’T KILL ANYTHING
SHE MADE A COMPLETE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT FOOL OF HERSELF.
AT LAST……………CUT…………LIP SYNCH………..FAT PORK CHOPS….SOFA DRESS…
WASHED UP BORING BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GUESS SHE CAN STOP PRETENDING EVERY THING IS LOVEY DOVEY WITH JAYZ NOW THAT NBA ALLSTAR WEEKEND IS OVER. roflmmfaooooooo..
Look at her eyes, Beyonce is battling irrelevancy bad and she knows her time is tick, tick, ticking……………notice not even at the NAACP Awards people were not impressed. WHY SHOULD THEY BE WHEN IT’S THE SAME OLD BORING BEY?

@28 I agree & so does so many others…FASHION POLICE called Bey out! That dress was not her best look. It makes her look bigger than she already is. From the pattern to the mermaid shape..not working for me. I would like to see her go a bit softer next time.

Absolutely great. Cudos to Dev & Frieda. Slumdog was definately done justice at the Oscars this year. A great movie comparable to City of God. Sorry for Teraji however The Curious Case was just that… a long drawn out eye feast. A good movie but not one of the best I have seen, comparable to Forest Gump.

I see the stans are out in full force defending beyowulf ROFLMAO
That red carpet dress was a HOT ASS MESS! I believe one of the critics said she looked like she was wearing wrapping paper!
Her performance was bland, especially since she was singing over a track….that cut off when the pair from hs musical sang and bey didn’t know it…that was hysterical!
I guess the poor thang cant perform without her 20lb weave and wind machine.

Taraji…simply gorgeous and so was her mom.
Viola…Gorgeous and she was outstanding in Doubt and MAdea goes to jail.
Freido…One of the most beautiful women out there.
Alicia..loved the dress and hated the hideous wig. Did nothing for her.
The Queen…marvelous from head to toe in both gowns.
Halle…simply beautiful.
Beyonce…Performance had too much of Sasha for a musical and lip-synching not cool, but it was okay cause Hugh made up for her mistakes. Her dress was hideous though and can be easily recognized as a House of Crap creation. B stick with Cavali he designs way better dresses for you.
Angelina…simple yet flowed well with her hubby.

Everyone looked decent to vey good except Alicia Keys. I was confused by her hair-it was unbeweaveable! And since I’m on the topic-why is Alicia Keys wearing a weave? I’ve seen her natural hair and it’s gorgeous.
I think the black folks need to have their own Oscar-like show b/c too many of our stars have been robbed of awards (like Viola Davis last night).

I believe the Bible mentions something about not concentrating on the speck inside someone’s eye but concentrating on the log of wood that is in yours. People that hate are sad truly, listen to India Arie’s “The Cure”. You people need to quit acting like Beyonce lives under your roof, you don’t know anything about her. If you don’t have anything nice to say just HUSH. I agree that not everyone has to like Beyonce but all those that write all the hateful smut about her, place yourself in her shoes, imagine someone was talking like that about you or one of your family members. Lets get some decency people. Lets not perpetuate hate.

To be honest, I love Beyonce but I dont love that dress. Its okay, try again next year.
This is like Beyonce’s millionth time performing at the Oscars. I didnt really care for the performance either. I dont know if it was because of the lack of energy or maybe I dont really care for musicals, I dont know.
Damn, I really wish Taraji or Viola won. My heart dropped when none of them got an award. Vicky Christina Barcelona my ass. I dont consider Penelope Cruz to be truly spanish. She is just a dark haired, dark eyed white woman from a White spanish speaking country. Now if it was someone of the likes of Eva Mendez or Jennifer Lopez, then I woudnt sound so harsh. So booooooo.
I thought Alicia Keys looked different. When I saw her presenting, I was like who the hell is that? Why she wore wig when she can do that exact same hairstyle with her own damn hair? dont get it.
Halle is a bad chick. She looked gorgeous and in my opinion upstages Angelina Jolie in the looks and dashion department.
I loved the Slumdog Millionaire performance. It really brought some life to a dull show.
If I was Meryl Streep, I would just stop attending the damn Oscars. I mean really.
Taraji looked stunning by the way. You better work it girl!!!
Viola looked beautiful too.
Damn what a shame!

BEYONCE TORE IT DOWN
Monday, February 23, 2009 /
Beyonce = Amazing, Diva, Beautiful, Talented, the women with everything, has the game on lock.
Beyonce is everyone, because she is on high demand. People on this blog as asking “why she was there?”. She was there for the same reasons that she performed for the Oscars before, the same reason that she sang for teh Obama’s. The girl is VERY VERY TALENTED. AND she is extremely nice to look at on stage. she knows what she is doing.
YES Beyonce Lip synced. But so Did everyone else. Beyonce can lip sync. You know why? Because everyone knows she she can sing live. She sang 4 songs at the OSCARS live and in 3 different languages. GET OVER IT. Miss Beyonce is here to stay. She is and will always be the IT girl. She is highly respected and is running the game right now.

Beyonce should start doing plays because movies aren’t for her. I really enjoyed her performance wit hugh.
Taraji was robbed! i actually was crying when she started to tear up. We was cheering her on here in her hometown DC. I’m sure this won’t be her last time at the Oscar.
Those kids from slumdog are so beautiful and they have great englush
Freda is gorgous!
Queen Latifah looks absolutely stunning wit the one strap dress she had on.
Viola dress is ugly
Beyonce dress is a House of Doo Doo mess…smh

Don't Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion
Monday, February 23, 2009 /
I absolutely HATE Beyonce’s dress and not completely in love with the ponytail or whatever is going on with her hair either. And I don’t give a shit what any of you think about it because I’m sure everyone will swear I’m hating. In my opinion, this was a big fashion MISS for her. Whoppi Goldberg as well, what was she thinking??
You all didn’t honestly expect them to give the Oscar to Taraji or Viola did you? Don’t get me wrong they’re splendid actresses (clearly, they’re nominated) but you all should have known. Oscars and black people are on a once in a blue moon basis.

Taraji hands down looked beautiful! The dress, hair & make up all amazing! The detail and train of the dress was outstanding! Good look!
Beyonce’s dress was dreadful! loved the mermaid cut of the dress, but the gold leaves & roses? No Ma’am! But her hair was beautiful.
Alicia’s dress was pretty & her mom looked great! But the wig Alicia? C’mon now, it was a bit much..lol.
Freda Pinto from Slumdog…looked breathtaking. She is really really pretty. Loved her blue dress.
Penelope Cruiz looked georgous rocking her vintage 60 year old dress.
Robert Downey Jr. looked great! Best i have ever seen him look in a good while, he looked very young & fresh faced.
Will Smith looked yummy & Hugh jackman was annoying…my kids was like “Ma…why is Wolfman up there dancing & singing?” LOL!
Halle looked stunning. And props to Jennifer A. who was a REAL trooper last night, i know that had to be hard for her, but she kept her head and was great!

@78 I suggest you go to a theatre/broadway show and see real actors and singers dance and sing simultaeniously without lip synching. At least if your gonna lip make it believeable
Queen Latifah’s performance was great, it was very touching. I had no idea she had a voice like that, she could give some of these “music” industry girls a few lessons on how to sing in key, hold a damn note and not use a million vocal mellismas!
Alicia and Taraji’s makeup is dreadful, they look like two witches. I love Taraji’s dress though, apart from the makeup she looks great. Alicia’s wig needs to go!
Beyonce/Hugh/HSM performance was abismal, the fact that nearly every song I’ve ever heard was just thrown in made my ears fall off!!!
I was also hoping Taraji/Viola would win as Oscar but I guess they only let a black person win once every few years lol. Will and Jada are a beautiful gawjuss couple

The Oscars were really nice this year. Very classy.
So happy for Penelope. Vicky Christina Barcelona was a good movie I really like Woody Allen’s films…and like someone said, she made history! First Spanish Actor to win an Oscar!
Why were Vola and Taraj robbed?
For real, Viola was only in about 10 minutes of Doubt…and Taraji…Benjamin Button was good, but she really was the traditional “Black woman caretaker” role…I don’t discount her talent, but that needs to be a deeper role to win the Oscar… I feel like Viola would have won if her part was longer…and Taraji would have won if her part was more tortured.
Stage presentation was really nice, especially during the set/costume design parts…the actors category presentation were very creative and well done. LOL @ the critique of musicals tribute…even the choreographer was like, “eh” when they panned to him at the end. Was Rent mentioned during that though?
Also, why didn’t they mention Eartha Kitt at the review of people who died in the last year?

WE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THIS A BEYONCE POST. There are so many relevant black actresses who were fabulous. Halle Berry can give lessons to everyone who was present. She never overdoes her look. Freida was absolutely gorgeous. When people say, a natural beuaty, there it is. Viola and Taraji, keep your heads up. It was an honor to be nominated, and you will continue to succeed.

Everybody else looked fab!!! I heard them blazin’ Whoopi about her dress, but for her she looked good. You can only ask for so much from her. LOL

This years show was a good one. I loved the decor they put out this year, it was fabulous!!
I see that ppl still want to throw their shit on my girl Beyonce. Damn ppl..the woman did a wonderful job. She was exquisite. She is one of the best performers of her time, even though some ppl don’t want to admit it. Hugh Jackman, loved him too. He did a wonderful job in all his performances, the man can dance.
Really happy for all the winners. I now have to go see Slumdog Millionaire so I can see what all the hoopla was about. They stole the damn Oscars. Wanted Anne Hathaway to win so bad! I love her. She is a great actress and a STYLE ICON. Every damn time she is on the red carpet, that woman steal the show.
I really enjoyed how they had all the past winners of the awards present the awards to the night winners. I think they should do it all the time. It adds a bit more of a show to the night.

@81, just because they hate doesn’t mean black people should.
I love how this topic is beig made about Beyonce, and not who won.
How about Danny Boyle? AR Rehman? Sean Penn? Kate Winslett? Heath Ledger? Slumdog being the big winner?
Jeebus black people wanna bicker about stupid things relating to the Oscar’s and not the important stuff. In India people are celebrating Slumdog’s big win not only because it’s to do with their country but it’s actually relevant to the Oscar’s itself!
Freida Pinto owned that red carpet.

I thought the show was very entertaining!
Don’t you know by now Beyonce does what she wants to do because she can.
The dress was supposed to get people talking… and so it did. (not a favorite) She brought out Sasha Fierce to the red carpet.
What is this whole thing about her lip syncing… (they all were) We all know Beyonce can sing her ass off, so why get all pumped up. I think people just want to see her fail but those who feel that way only make her stronger
No matter how many times Beyonce adds or change direction to her career for the better people will have something to say.
She is proving that she can be and do anything she wants. WHY CAN’T PEOPLE LEARN FROM THAT????????
At this point of her career she is working because she is having fun and this is what she loves to do, not because she needs a check.
She is set for life!
I seen Hugh Jackman on Broadway before and he is very talented!
Queen looked so good!
Ms. Keys….. I thought she was Ashanti…lolol bad wig choice.
Slumdog cast… VERY GOOD!
I have not seen the movie yet, I will tonight.
Congrats to P Cruz.
Brad Pitt should have one that Oscar hands down.
GOOD SHOW!!!

Halle, she looked beautifl as always, but however I did not like her wig either
Ben Stillman was funny as heck, the whole segment was hilarious
Taraji looked very nice, as well as Viola

beyonce Everything she does is so vapid and contrived…
I can go all day because I can and I look good too, lol.
The stans are crazy…how many times do they want people to say she’s attractive or she can sing.
Point taken now move on. When people talk/critique her performacnces they come running out the woodwork w/hate this, hate that.
Different performance/event - same hunching, weave packing, hollaring Bey.
My best friend is gorgeous and gets upset when people tell her she looks like Bey - like its a compliment.
They look nothing alike - at all.
She has a wonderful body, speaks well, is educated, doesn’t wear makeup, has gorgeous hair (her own baby hairs, lol) and is a true lady.
She’s older than her and barely listens to her music, so why make a comparison?
She nor I see it.
Now back to these stans….
I think if people had something going on in their life or had close friends and family that were successful and attractive they wouldn’t like her to the point of sounding like a stalker.
As for men, its sad - they act as though they’ve never seen a beautiful, natural, attractive woman - I’m like “What do they think of their wives/girlfriends?” still they’re responses are:
She’s a banger…
She can get it…
I’d fk…
That doesn’t mean anything if somebody want to fk you and not every woman strives for that.
People need to get out more. Most of her stans are ghetto from what I’ve seen and celebs patronize each other when they’re hot or on top.
Elementary lyrics, nursery rhyming, one note voice.
I wonder what the stans are going to say when her True Hollywood Story comes out only to find that her career, stealing, copyright infringement, fraud and whatnot are going to outweigh everything she’s done - even her weave and her thighs.
