The Oscars were bad. (Or so we’ve read). James Franco and Anne Hathaway were terrible. (Ditto.) The backstage scene was…Well, it was weird.
Melissa Leo thanked Kirk Douglas for draaaaaagging out the suspense. Christian Bale sorta referenced his Terminator rant in a show of compassion for the F-bomb droppers of the world (like Leo). And a question about nothing more momentous than Natalie Portman‘s Oscar gown got worse reviews than the show. (Or maybe not.)
Here’s what went down behind the scenes at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards:
5:45 p.m.: We can read lips probably about as well as you, so we make out some of what Leo says during her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech (rhymes with “muck” or “tucking”), but we don’t hear the unedited R-rated version: The audio on our TV feed was dropped out just the same as yours at home.
• When Leo arrives back here, our own Ted Casablanca is the first to congratulate her for dropping the F-bomb. Leo is not quite chagrined, but definitely not proud of the moment. “I had no idea,” she says. “I apologize to anyone that they offend.…Probably a very inappropriate place to use that particular word in particular.”
