Okay, yeaaah, the Oscars! It\u2019s going to take us at least a few more days to really be able to digest all the absolute batsh*t craziness that went down during Sunday night\u2019s telecast. Can we all just start by agreeing that\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>show was truly bonkersville? We know there will be plenty of ink shed on the big winners: Kate, Sean,\u00a0 Pen\u00e9lope, Heath,\u00a0Slumdog<\/em>, etc., so we\u2019ll just stick to the show itself for now.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the stage, with the 92,000-Swarovski-crystal curtain which looked like something that got thrown up straight from\u00a0Moonstruck<\/em>-era Cher\u2019s brain – razzle dazle doesn\u2019t begin to describe it. And then there\u2019s Hugh Jackman. We\u2019ve already heard a lot of dissenting chatter about the Aussie\u2019s hosting duties, but we\u2019re just going to come out and say it: nailed it! Because listen, that man\u00a0committed.\u00a0<\/em>He went out there for his debut Oscar-hosting night and put on an opening number that we still actually can\u2019t believe happened. He started, gracefully, with a self deprecating joke about his giant bomb of a film\u00a0Australia\u00a0<\/em>and led into a song and dance number \u2013 including inspired bits encompassing the big five plus a much needed shout out to snubbed\u00a0Dark Knight –\u00a0<\/em>that had that jaded crowd at the Kodak on their feet. Props to Anne Hathaway for a shockingly good faux impromptu assist (who knew she could sing?). But our favorite moment (not including Mr. Jackman pausing in front of Brad and Angelina and admitting, \u201cI don\u2019t have a joke for them, I\u2019m just contractually obligated to mention them five times\u201d)<\/p>\n
