Welcome to the Morning Buzz, a catch-up on interesting happenings around the city and country and a quick guide to what (and who) to keep your eyes on. We’ll be here, first thing every weekday, to get you going. Here’s what’s buzzing this morning:
Today’s buzz is bound to be all-things-Oscars. For everything you already know (thanks to your friends on Twitter), check out the Oscars website. For a quick recap, keep reading:
The Good:
– Meryl Streep’s acceptance speech after winning best actress for “The Iron Lady”: “When they called my name I had this feeling I can hear half of America going, ‘Oh no, oh come on, why her, again? … But whatever.”
– Milla Jovovich in a dress by Elie Saab.
– (Another) Scorsese-inspired Oscars drinking game. Well played.
– A very cool performance from Cirque de Soleil (skip to 1:00).

The Bad:

– Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz.
– Ellen DeGeneres for JCPenney (in case you didn’t TiVo).
Angelina Jolie’s Right Leg:
– Shot from all angles.
