Tilda Swinton Gives Oscar Away! Agent Takes 100%!

Posted by Michael Musto at 8:00 AM, February 25, 2008

Occasionally, the person who deserves an Oscar actually gets one, and that happened last night when Tilda Swinton copped Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton, in which she's surreally shimmery, brilliantly slimy, and scarily good. Off screen, Tilda's one of us—a spunky creative artist with a strong will and a radiant sense of quirk. In her speech, she said she'd give her trophy to her agent Brian Swardstrom, whom it physically resembles, and by time she greeted the press backstage last night, she said she'd already done so! A woman of her word? Who's talented and individualistic and wears a one-armed glam rock shmatte? She'll be drummed out of Hollywood in no time! But meanwhile, I'd love to meet Swardstrom. Even if he shares Oscar's distinct lack of crotch, he's got to have some mighty fine buttocks.

I love her and wasn't Javier Bardem hot?

Yeah, Javier looked super hot. I wonder if he's had anything done or if he just grew into his looks.

Jessica Alba looked amazing, but the hottie of the night was Marion Cotillard, who's got read class and star quality. Johnny Depp looked weird. Helen Mirren looked swell.

According to the British press, kooky Tilda is living in a menage-a-trois situation. She has "a paramour, 29," and "a partner, 67." Love her!

Michael dahling, I thought last night's show was a giant bore. But i was excited to read about Tilda living in a menage scenario. I was wondering if either the "paramour" or the "partner" is a woman? Or is Tilda getting goosed in her gander two ways? I'm getting all hot and tingly just thinking about it.

Both the paramour and the partner are men, but I love her anyway!

I was watching the show last night and my partner said "Tilda Swinton looks like David Bowie!"

I died laughing.

Love her? I'm violently jealous of her! I always wanted to be in the middle of a sex sandwich between two handsome men. It never happened. But there WAS that wild night with Hattie McDaniels and Marjorie Main. I should have left that in my memoirs.

Totally Bowie She was Ziggy Stardust (as I'm writing in da column) with a hint of Diamond Dogs. She's even more of a man than Marion Cotillard. Love 'em both!

PS: Tallu, what was Hattie like in bed?

Posted by: musto at February 25, 2008 12:42 PM

Michael:
Hattie was a lady in bed. Not unlike my ex-husband John Emery. For the record, I did NOT have sex with Joan Crawford -- I preferred my female lovers to be human. Even George Raft, after he nearly killed me with a whopping case of gonorrhea, had the decency to send flowers.

So Tilda has two lovers. a one-armed dress, and no Oscar.

The agent pursuaded Tildy to keep said Oscar and last nite on TMZ they had a feature on her, signing autographs (how Hollywood and NOT her!) and letting fans hold Oscar and pose for pics with it. She's not as rude and weird as I thought, after watching the footage I liked her again. "And get a good night's rest, I may want you to fuck me again in the morning" is Tilda's best line to Leo DiCaprio in "The Beach".
