Catherine Burns runs the gamut of emotional reactions, from nonchalant to bored via way of phlegmatic, at the 1970 ceremony. Nominated for Last Summer, Burns' entire reaction can be glimpsed in the video on youtube here. It was her moment to shine, and she chose not to, and I love her for it. It's so.... avant garde. Like glamorous performance art, like Daria goes to the Oscars. James Franco was trying way too hard to skewer the event when he hosted - a simple eye roll would have done.
P.S. It would be remiss not to link to this video and not mention two things:
1) YAY GOLDIE
2) Raquel Welch could not have been more eager to hold the Oscar on the winner's behalf. She knew it'd be the only time she'd hold one of those bad boys.
