In response to "My Oscar highlights" by Inigo

imo Best Costume was a jerk. She was so conceited.

Yes she acknowledged them, but she was like "I already have 2 of these." And "I'm going home with it anyway."

Everyone I was watching with was stunned at her. Maybe it came across wrong, but she looked so rude.

she was being ironic -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 8, 07:48
and even when she did acknowldge her peers, it came across like "sucks to be you that you slave away on a film that does nada for your oscar chances." -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:46 6
- I don't think that's what she meant at all. She was giving a shout out to those designers who will never ever be recognized by the academy... - Jim Mar 8, 07:47 3
  - I agree, I don't think she meant it that way, but to me it did come across as a little condescending, in the context of the rest of the speech. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:48
  - Yeah, if you ain't costuming a period piece, you ain't got much a shot in that category. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:48 1
    - it's a legitimate criticism of the category, for sure. -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:50
- Exactly. -- nm - MDH Mar 8, 07:46 1
  - I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn't intend for it to come across that way, though... -- nm - znufrii Mar 8, 07:47
my take was that she felt kind of guilty about getting it again, but didn't handle it smoothly. -- nm - loosilu Mar 8, 07:43
I didn't like the whole "I already have 2 of these" comment. but I think her comments about the other designers that get skipped over - Jim Mar 8, 07:43 1
- Yeah nice sentiment...bad execution -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:45
