Ouch, Avatar, that Hurts

Been so busy the past week. 2 movie previews, one Oscar commentary, and one 202 test later, I'm finally blogging again. Once the March issue of SGClub.net is out, I shall post it here! You can still check out my Oscar commentary in pictures below ;)

But first, Kumar!

I've finally watched Singapore's most famous drag-queen and brilliant stand-up comedian, Kumar, 'live' in action. His Esplanade show was awesome!

Besides tackling issues like the gah-men, his little anecdotes about his life story are also hilariously and movingly realised. A particular solo number featured Kumar in a mermaid costume, with him twisting the lyrics of A Part of your World (Disney's Little Mermaid), depicting his inner desire to be accepted by everyone. It is moments like these - plus huge dollops of humour - that make the show an occasionally heartfelt one.

Choice Joke:
"The sign directions at Terminal 3 are in English, Chinese, Malay and... Japanese. Huh? You think Indians can read Japanese ah? Ah-neh and A-no-neh is different leh. Then they tell me, the Indians built Terminal 3, so they already know the way around, no need the signs. Hello? It's not the Indians that built Terminal 3, it's the Banglahs!"

His jokes about Indians being treated differently from the other races are so hilarious - is it because they carry a certain degree of truth?

Two times MOF in a week =)

And now...

In Comic: Oscars 2010

What were the highlights of the event? Here they are~


The Hurt Locker swept 6 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, while James Cameron's Avatar only took home 3 technical ones. It's no wonder there's that little animosity.


Ben Stiller presenting Best Makeup. One word: Apt.


Hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin donning 3D glasses, pulling one of the countless Avatar jokes of the night.


After being America's sweetheart for many years, Sandra Bullock finally took home the Best Actress award as a first-time nominee for The Blind Side.


Widely-panned by observers as unnecessary, I actually did enjoy the dance interpretations / presentations of the nominees of Best Original Score. Disney/Pixar's Up was awarded the well-deserved prize.


Presenters of Best Original Screenplay, Tina Fey and Robert Downey Jr, provided the funniest banter of the night. Downey said that actors and screenplay writers working together are like a "collaboration between handsome gifted people and sickly little mole people."


26-year-old Gabourey Sidibe gets the best endorsement ever when Oprah Winfrey read her testimonial on-stage while introducing the Best Actress nominees. The powerful talk-show host called Sidibe "a true American Cinderella on the threshold of a brilliant new career".


Carey Mulligan's (Best Actress nominee for An Education) understated charm is undeniable.


Charlize Theron is gorgeous. But the dress is, erm, too distracting.


Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner, please go home.


16 Oscar nominations, 2 wins. She lost again this year. But don't worry folks, it's almost a guarantee she'll be back again next year.

Random musing: After all, after everything, I'm just happy for you =)

Take care, people!
