And the Oscar goes to... Liz Dahmen and John Polly! (As if.)
After months of anticipation, Oscar Math, investigative reporting, Tony-winning guests, recipes and costumes, Oscar night arrived and Liz and John dressed up to vlog about it!
Then what happened? Dustin Lance Black and Sean Penn won for Milk! Kate Winslet won -- and gushed. Little slum children triumphed! And the commericals made Liz cry (Damn those True North nut ads!)
Plus, gays were kissing, Hugh Jackman danced and sang (a lot), and Miley Cyrus zoomed in from a prom in Vegas!
Thanks for watching us this awards season. Or as our Japanese filmmaking friend said onstage Sunday night: "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!"
And we hope to be back with another vlog series soon. Anything you wanna see us babble on madly about?
Oscar weekend is upon us! And for today's Best Supporting Vlog, somehow Liz Dahmen and I have been graced by a visit from one of the stars of 8-times-nominated MILK! Tony Winner Denis O'Hare stops in for a chat!
 
Right now Denis is onstage in NYC in Uncle Vanya, with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard and Mamie Gummer. In MILK, Denis played nasty anti-gay State Senator John Briggs, and he rocked! But you also saw this out actor play a evil doctor opposite Angelina Jolie in Changeling, and a nice doctor in Babymama with Tina Fey.
You've also seen Denis in Garden State, Michael Clayton, A Mighty Heart, and (one of my faves) The Anniversary Party. Denis also snagged a Tony Award for his amazing turn in the gay baseball drama, Take Me Out. And he also starred in Sweet Charity and Assassins. And coming soon, you'll see Denis in Duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, and The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bulock. Busy!
Today, Denis talks about making MILK, hanging with Angelina & Brad, and he offers his Oscar picks, including a rundown of some of the films up for the Best Animated Short Film prize! Yes, we get specific like that.

Happy Friday the 13th! And Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Presidents Day Weekend! John Polly and Liz Dahmen are exploding with energy this week in their Best Supporting Vlog -- or is that just too much heart-shaped candy???
Ever timely, they tackle throbbingly intense topics like who should play Iceland's lesbian Prime Minister in a movie: Glenn Close or Alfre Woodard? Plus,they pick their favorite romantic movies (gack!) and then Liz teaches us all a lesson in relativity and "Oscar Math." Watch out for Liz's sexy teacher specs!
And get a sneak peek at their individual Oscar acceptance speeches. Liz's is EVIL!!!
Why the film noir look? This week's Best Supporting Vlog is all about "Mystery!!!" as Liz and John try and decipher what the Academy president Sid Ganis meant when he said the Oscars would be "truly different" this year. Ganis told the folks at the annual Oscar Luncheon that this year's show would be a shocker, and implied that they'd better expect big suprises and weirdness! What the heck was he talking about?
Thus our crafty little disguises... Plus we discuss this past week's Oscar luncheon (What's the diff between lunch and "luncheon" anyway? Fancy hats?), what Hugh Jackman might do onstage and other weirdness! WATCH BELOW!!!
Face it, Sports Fans! The Super Bowl is kicking The Oscars' ass!!! Meaning, how come the Super Bowl gets all the good (bad) food -- chili! wings! beer! -- and the good commericals, and the ridiculous half-time show mania!???
These are the questions plaguing Liz Dahmen and John Polly this week in their Best Supporting Vlog! Industrious Liz gets her football shoulderpads on to figure what the froofy gay Oscars can learn from all the guy-powered Super Bowl sound and fury.
For starters... Beer Cozies! T-Shirts!

Last night saw the Screen Actors Guild Awards doled out (Congrats to pants-wearing Meryl, the Slumdog cast and big props to Sean Penn), but this past Thursday saw the Oscar nominations announced! And MILK nabbed 8 or 9 biggies, but that's no big shocker. The people who were really surprised were Marisa Tomei, the dead dad from Six Feet Under, and all the people who worked on Revolutionary Road (ouch!).
Liz Dahmen and I offer our assessment of the whole affair, and we share insights on nominated films that you didn't even know were gay. Plus, surprise "queer" nominees!!! (Hint: He ripped Leo & Kate new ones!)
Plus, how to stress your 501's so as to accentuate your hot package, how Oprah got dissed by a bunch of uppity nuns, and how some gay penguins waddled in to this year's Oscar race.
Diversity, homo penguins & strippers! F*ck yeah, it's Oscar-time!
Also, why the Best Supporting Actress nominees are so damn diverse -- and bouncy!
What did YOU think of the Oscar noms? Did you burst your Benjamin Buttons? Or did your Milk go sour?
Is Kate Winslet still delivering her acceptance speech? Is Mickey Rourke still thanking his dogs? And where were all the gays?
In our new episode of the movie-awards obsessing Best Supporting Vlog, Liz Dahmen and John Polly pick the most homo-tastic moments of the Golden Globes. Liz puts on her "lesbinoculars" to seek out the show dykes, and John arduously whips up a countdown of the Top Ten Gay Moments of the GGs.
Expect nods to Neil Patrick Harris (barely), Danny Boyle's "mad pulsating affection", Glenn Close's quasi-lesbi-tastic pantsuit, Heath's win, and a surprise appearance from Wilson Cruz. Plus, something the lesbians and gays can agree on: Colin Farrell's hotness!
 
Cookies & Colin Farrell. Yum!
P.S. Click through if you want the recipes for our Penelope Crustini and our Curious Casserole of Benjamin Button! They were in last week's post. And for the recipe for the chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips, you'll have to wait til next week. Bon app!
For their second installment of the Oscar-obsessed Best Supporting Vlog, Liz Dahmen and John Polly have snagged a guest. Howard Bragman is a big gay mega-important Hollywood publicist. Perhaps you’ve seen him on CNN or Fox News or just about every other news show, weighing on showbiz/gay/PR issues.
Howard’s no stranger to the Oscars either, so he dishes about how important PR is to snagging a trophy at the Kodak Theater. And he’s got a book out entitled Where’s My Fifteen Minutes: Get Your Company, Your Cause, or Yourself the Recognition You Deserve. (Whew!)  So somehow, we roped him into visiting us and sharing his insight on how the Oscars are doled out, what makes for a good Oscar party, when/if an out gay actor will ever win one, and why Angelina Jolie is a freakin’ publicity genius!
And after the jump, we've got cocktails and some recipes to perk up your Golden Globes this coming Sunday night! Wanna chow down on some Penelope Crustini? (It’s sexy and delicious crostini inspired by nominee Penelope Cruz and her native Spain.) Or how about a Frosty/Nixon cocktail? Hungry for The Curious Casserole of Benjamin Button? Keep reading!
And yes, we also have some Root Vegetables Getting Marinated, in honor of Anne Hathaway. (Get it? Rachel Getting Married?)

Hey movie nuts and Oscar fans! It's new vlog time! As you’ve surely noticed, it’s the time of year when Hollywood releases their uber-important films, and as critics’ best-of lists issue forth daily, you’re likely trying to figure out when the hell you can see everything.
Liz Dahmen and John Polly feel your pain, and their brand new Best Supporting Vlog is all about the Oscar buzz, which heavy-duty movies are coming out, what’s gonna win, and who’s getting shafted. Plus: freaky Oscar party ideas, trailer reviews (in case you can’t see the whole damn movie) and loopy insight on how this all might matter to gay folks.
This week the pair talk Oscar history, Rumer Willis, Revolutionary Road, Hugh Jackman vs. a lesbian Oscar host and those baffling Golden Globes. Plus, ice cream and Harvey Milk balls!
And since we discuss it, here's the trailer for Revolutionary Road.
