Why do I love drawing these awards shows? Perhaps because it helps pass the time because they are SO LONG. But I think its more about communicating with others. Seth Myers tweeted last night that it’s fun when we are all watching the same thing. It’s true! Agreed, many people (many many people) were not watching the Oscars last night. But lots were, and we love to share, I know I do.
One of the hightlights for me was when Patricia Arquette read her acceptance speech for best supporting actor, she mentioned it was time for women to finally receive equal rights in this country. She got a huge positive response from the audience, among them Meryl Streep who stood and clapped and gesticulated in a very enthusiastic manner.
There were a lot of exaggerated skirt dresses, many of them pink or peach in color.
But it was a typical Oscars, lacking in a certain element of playfulness, in my mind. Here are some of my other sketches.
I’m SO jealous!
Great fun! Another way of enjoying those fabulous dresses.
