the Oscars - KL Red Carpet Live and what happen to Linda Onn
So what happen to Linda Onn? She was supposed to be at the Kodak Theatre for Star Movies' red carpet show but we only saw Dominic Lau did the hosting job alone. Sources said that Linda Onn refused to follow the dress code for reporters and insisted on wearing the black and white modern kebaya created by an Indonesian designer which she mentioned in the press last week. Hence, she was axed from the co-hosting job. (New updates: I came across this blog. Check out his posting here and here for more details.)
Have you seen the KL Red Carpet Live "Breakfast With The Stars 2007" earlier on before the Oscar awards show? Can anyone please tell the host Zainal Alam Kadir to shut up and let his co-host Joey G talk? Why must he be so annoying, dominating the show and acted as if Joey G wasn't there? Poor Joey G. Whenever he opened his mouth and about to start talking, Alam interrupted. Joey G looked embarrased and yet professional enough to remain cool.
Oh yeah, why were there so many Akademi Fantasia (AF) rejects at the KL Red Carpet show? I thought this was supposed to be attended by local 'stars'. I expected to see people like Afdlin Shauki, Saiful Apek, Rosyam Nor or Sharifah Amani since this is a movie-related show. I'm not looking down at the AF 'stars'. I'm just disappointed because most of them were not prepared and knew nothing about movies. Not only they didn't know how to speak English when asked by Joey G (again this was the reason why Joey G felt awkward) they didn't even know what were the nominated films. For example, Vince can't even named a single film in 2006. Then most of them haven't even seen a movie which was nominated for the Oscars. The worst was when a 'star' was asked which movie he thought will win the Oscar, the answer was 'Salma Hayek'. Duh. Sorry but what a hopeless show.
However I must praise a few 'real stars' like AC Mizal, Anuar Zain and Aznil Nawawi because they are really professional. They were well prepared and knew what they were doing.

U got it right.
But what pissed me more,was why must they have an alternative red carpet function with all the stupid jokers around on the Astro channel? Telecast teruslah cukuplah!!!....
nak tayang their pakaian kot!!
It will be better off if Astro organise such function to collect money for our tsunami or Batu Pahat flood victims.
cheers.

Hi Ali,
Can tayang pakaian lar. But honestly that's the most fake, most cincai and time-wasting red carpet event I ever seen. JWW Marriott should ask for a more well organised event or else scrap it.

Shucks... missed the oscars.
Am studying in India (and there's no TVs in the hostels).

Hi Kok,
A doctor in the making eh?
-
Ya why must there be a KL red carpet duh??? meaningless!
Poor Dominic...he kept repeating the same boring question to the stars...kena bombared by John Travolta somemore. But I must say he's done a pretty good job.

AF is fucked up just like all the Malaysian made talent hunt shows. Malaysian idol at least is just slightly better. Red Carpet for Oscars in Malaysia is the biggest joke I have ever heard. I didn't even bother to tune in to the program because I just knew that the local celebrities would screw it up to the max. WTF do the AF rejects have any business being there I myself don't know. Stupid , yeah stupid, that's the word to describe them all. Don't know English and don't know anything outside their precious little coconut shell of a life. Shame on you all AF people, a freaking embarassment to Malaysia.

Che-Cheh: Dominic kena from the people of Happy Feet because he hasn't seen the movie to understand what they said. But he did try his best. Good exposure for him.
Anonymous 10.40: I followed AF and Malaysian Idol. I don't think they are that bad but someone please ask them to be more prepared next time. And also please ask the producer to put more effort in getting 'real stars' and arrange for the hosts to rehearse. Because it seems that Joey G and Alam go on the show without rehearsal.

Is the dress code that bad?
-
Yenjai,
I've updated my blog with a new link to MrManager's blog. It seems that some jealous people politicised the issue and claimed that it's unpatriotic to wear a gown designed by an Indonesian. I supposed nobody knows the truth except for Linda and the management people at Star Movies and Astro.

To those ppl who is very smart and inteligent in this so call 'BLOG'! korang tu pandai sangat ker. Mcm baguz baguz!!

Anonymous 2.25: Did we say the artists stupid? I suggest you reread again. I said some artists are not professional because they did not prepare prior to the show.
-
anon 2.25 pm mesti peminat AF. Ni bukan pasal siapa yang intelligent dan siapa yang tak. Ni pasal persediaan untuk karpet merah. Bukan makan aje.
-
anon 2.25 pm, not to anyone in here baguz baguz, but if without any preparation yang memalukan tu bukan la sapa-sapa tapi sendiri yang malu. Siapa yang makan cili tu dia yang akan rasa pedas......

Linda Onn is Off the Show.. I have predict.. and the dress is the only reason available for her.. I bet she have a phobia.. what a pity..
Akademi Fantasia Artist? most of them are stupid.. yeah we must accept the fact.. I'm sure they dont even know what is the diferent between grammy award and academy award.. asked them to read newspaper laa..
im very dissapointed with malaysia artists not because what they look like but the way they behave themself.. they always wanna look 'ceria' but clumpsy..

Mr HCFoo, thanks for your posting.. eventhough i tak dapat tgk oscar tapi at least i dapat bayangkan from what you'd write...
and some 'anonymous' comments really shocked me off... senang lenang panggil budak2 AF tue bodoh.... tak bagus betul.... the comment were too emotional...
I admit i'm Vince's fan and i'd tell him about this matter.... He'd received it with open heart... now that's what i called professionalism.... i think people that like to "shoot" somebody else are stupidiest
I agree with you that each artist should prepare themself for any occasion that they will presence....
Cukup lah jangan gaduh2 wahai "i don't know who" anonymous... nampak sangat macam budak2.... ewww buat malu

Hi Aziya,
Thanks for dropping by. I sendiri pun peminat AF dan tak pernah miss setiap musim. So memang tak manis sangat label pelajar AF yang bukan2.
But I'm glad yang Aziya kata Vince menerima kritikan dengan hati yang terbuka dan ini jelas menunjukkan sikap prefesionalnya.
Linda sendiri pula sudahpun menyatakan pendiriannya dalam akhbar, baik kita lupakan sahaja apa yang dah berlaku.

Thanks Mr.Hcfoo... kalau i tak baca this blog.. i don't know that this thing will happend....
it's seems your blog were interesting.. i'll keep update myself with your next blog.. heheheh

zainal alam kadir actually asked the 'star' who is his favourite hollywood actor/actress,that's why re answered Salma Hayek...aiyya next time korek telinga betul-betul
