Fun watching from home with Dan and Figgy. Dan lit a crackling fire and made popcorn in the kitchen. (I added butter to mine.) Fig and I loved the hairstyles, the dresses, the music, the men and that one pinstriped women's suit with sparkle on the pinstripes, the sheer, jeweled long sleeves on another lady winner's dress. We exclaimed over America Ferrara, bringing back memories of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants young adult books by we both read when Fig was younger and then the two movies based on the books, with America in a starring role. We fawned over Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie (Ken, Barbie). All three of us liked the music, especially "Ken," and some of the audience shenanigans.
In spite of herself, I guess feeling too separate in her own way to join us in the living room and watch, though I invited her, I caught Punchy catching singer Billie Eilish onscreen. And when I noted from my stuffed chair that Al Pacino is old but has a new baby, she looked away from her group FaceTime call and bowl of cornflakes to sneak a peek at him, too, as she walked back upstairs.
I enjoyed a text thread with my friends Kim, Nan and Liz, who watched with friends and family in Brooklyn and Silver Spring, Maryland, and that was fun, too. Fast and furiously commenting! And earlier, Sis drove over from Connecticut to join for best Oscar Shorts 2024: Documentary at the Clairidge on Church Street. They were very good, with a social consience. My favorite, "The Last Repair Shop," was also the Academy's favorite. So good, such close observation and heart.
Good night. Monday morning will be here soon.
