Jimmy Kimmel's "Movie:The Movie"

If you made it through the three hours of last night Oscar's telecast, you were treated to a special after show edition of Jimmy Kimmel, where the celebrities, freed from captivity in the Kodak Theater, joined the host for some elbow rubbing. One main event was Kimmel's hilarious send up of every star studded, cliched feature crammed into nine minutes of film entitled "Movie: The Movie". How he got all these celebrities together for one big clusterfuck, I'll never know. But here it is:

"Brett's Da Boom King..."

In honor of Bret McKenzie's win at the Oscars last night, I present to you the video that made me a Bret and Jemaine (aka Flight of the Conchords) fan. It features star of the Broadway stage Sutton Foster. You'll even see a little of The Bitter Buddah himself, Eddie Pepitone at the beginning. So - Boom and Boom!

Whose The Boom King?

Congratulations to one half of Flight of the Conchords. Bret McKenzie's song 'Man or Muppet' won the Oscar for Best Song in a Film. Next to The Artist winning Best Picture and Hugo capturing many awards (alongside Meryl Streep and Christopher Plummer), this is pretty awesome. As for the awards ceremony itself, we the audience at home partied like it was 1992. Billy Crystal's face is either melting, or Bruce Vilanch fell into a buffet induced coma.*

*(I love Bruce...and buffets. And Carol Leifer was the main writer of last night's show.)

 

Bret McKenzie in Rolling Stone

Here's a lovely interview with Oscar Nominee Bret McKenzie. http://www.rollingstone.com/movies

Bret McKenzie Nominated

Today is abuzz with Oscar this and Oscar that. My favorite film this year has been The Artist, and I hope that lovely homage to silent film picks up lots of prizes; however, as a lover of all things Flight of the Conchords, I was thrilled to see that Bret McKenzie, Zoey Deschannel's other half in the land of "adorkable", has been nominated for Best Song with his lovely tune from The Muppets, "Man or Muppet". Hooray, Bret!
