For your eyes only (or so wished the producers of 1982's Oscar telecast)
White Hot Mess Alert! Wow, remember the days when the Academy Awards had horribly entertaining musical numbers sometimes choreographed by Debbie Allen? Yes, good times.
But like all good things wonderfully cheese, the over-produced musical numbers have gone moldy, been discarded, and instead we get treated to gems like Beyonce singing all 5 nominees at 2005's Oscars (cute in theory, but thankfully we were too distracted wondering how B's weave went from blowout to updo to ponytail in between each song).
From 1982's Oscars comes this way over the top slice of cheesecake: Sheena "Sugar Walls" Easton performing "For Your Eyes Only" from the James Bond flick of the same name. I'm not sure which is my favorite part, but watching the whole thing reminds me of long cherished trips to Universal Studios in the 1980s. I mean, it's like I'm right there on the set of Battlestar Galactica!
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly for the tip.
