31 views By AnneFrancisco Well, how sad is it that I haven’t updated this site in one full year. Sigh.
Ah, who cares, IT’S OSCAR SEASON!!! Time to start planning the drinks and making the ballots.
You can find my 2011 Oscar Page here complete with 2011 downloadable ballots. Bingo Cards are coming soon…I’ve got to go and replace all [...]
318 views By AnneFrancisco Ah, February! The days are getting just a teeny bit longer and there’s magic in the air….who am I kidding? February means nothing but OSCARS!!
For those of you who do note know me, I’ve been hosting an Oscar party for what seems like centuries. You can scroll through my entire history of hosting Oscar [...]
670 views By AnneFrancisco You know something is off with American Idol’s ratings when the promo right before the show starts touts “Stay tuned for Glee…but first it’s down to Crystal and Lee…” Seriously? You’re pushing an all-new Glee as the highlight of the night, not the finals of AI? Yeesh.
On a separate note before we begin, I [...]
314 views By AnneFrancisco OK – so I come home today and at exactly 4:58, the power goes out. One of the major inconveniences of the LFP (that’s Lake Forest Park to you non-Seattle peeps) is that the slightest wind blows and BAM – no power. So I have options at 4:58 – Do I throw away the red [...]
561 views By AnneFrancisco We get the intro from Ryan, introducing their hometowns, Love the fact that Casey is from Cool. After teasing Lee to smile and doing a little step-dancing to seem taller than Casey, Ryan let’s the Idols shout out “This is…..AMERICAN IDOL.” And the three remaining contestants can’t event muster the same enthusiasm Ryan brings every [...]
402 views By AnneFrancisco We open with a package intro that feels more like a trailer than an AI opening. Le Sigh. 37 million votes! Highest of the Season? For those performances? Thankfully, we only get a few moments of Jamie Foxx in the oackage and he does not appear for the rest of the show – and there’s [...]
360 views By AnneFrancisco No spoilers this week from MJ – sorry gang! But we get confirmation from Ryan quickly that we will have duets this Top 4 performance. I guess it makes sense for Jamie Foxx to mentor movie music night, but I still kind of wish Harry Connick, Jr would come back this week seeing how he [...]
563 views By AnneFrancisco Another week, another results show. I swear, these do not get any easier, especially knowing how much of the hour-long fest will be chockfull of non-results stuff. Like Lady Gaga performing. Can we just do 45 minutes of Harry Connick, Jr stand-up and then cut to the results. Alas, no. Lady Gaga and Group sings [...]
409 views By AnneFrancisco Word on the street is Harry is arranging the songs tonight – do you think he’ll sabotage anyone by making a bad arrangement? He is crazy talented. When Harry is introduced, he makes Ryan look positively….say it with me: Lilliputian. I love that he is accompanying the kids. Something tells me we will not be [...]
1,640 views By AnneFrancisco What’s worse than a results show? A results show for an AI performance week that I wasn’t all too thrilled with. In retrospect, Shania Twain week was bland for me – no one had a true “moment” (although Casey came close). And while I like Shania, I could have maybe done with an all-Reba night. [...]
