I've decided to save all my commentary for my blog vs tweeting this year. So here, for your reading pleasure, are all the things I thought as I watched this year's Oscars (don't call them the Academy Awards!)
-- My best dressed list is Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Garner, Amy Adams
-- Pretty stage design
-- Peter Brady, I mean Seth MacFarlane, looks good in a tux. And yay for saying the Academy screwed up in not nominating Ben Affleck
-- The re-enactment of Flight with sock puppets was pretty funny. Especially when they were "rolling" in the dryer.
-- The song and dance numbers with Seth + Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe were actually surprisingly entertaining.
-- Best Supporting Actor is the biggest toss-up category, imho. I picked Robert DeNiro on my ballot, but can't be upset about Christoph Waltz winning. He was great in that icky, overly violent movie.
-- So pissed that Brave won over Wreck It Ralph. It was not a good movie.
-- The Avengers bit was awkward. Did Samuel L. Jackson just not want to go by the script or was that the script? And where the heck was Chris Helmsworth? (aka an actual Avenger vs Samuel L. Jackson)
-- Using the Jaws theme to play people off the stage is kinda hilarious.
-- The Bond 50th tribute was underwhelming. Thanks a lot for ruining the lineup of all the Bonds Pierce Brosnan.
-- Yay! Searching for Sugar Man won Best Documentary Feature! It's so so so good. Great, uplifting story.
-- Amour won for Best Foreign Film. Shocker.
-- Catherine Zeta Jones looked a little robotic in her All That Jazz number but sounded great thanks to lip synching. :p
-- Then Jennifer Hudson came out and blew her away live. (Note: She lost American Idol...just one of the reasons I don't watch that show)
-- The Les Miz cast sing-along was great...thank goodness. I was really scared when I heard Russell Crowe was going to be singing live.
-- Ick. One of my best friends' ex-husband just won another Oscar for Sound Editing.. Well half of one since he tied. Ick. Ick. Ick. His hair still looks like crap too.
-- Anne Hathaway's dress tonight had its own twitter account due to her pointy breastage area by the time the show started. Just one more thing about her to be snarky about.... Here's some more: Her speech was so rehearsed. She's just gotten more annoying as the awards season has gone on.
-- Adele. Amazing. But the sound mixing on her performance sucked. The orchestra and choir totally over powered her.
-- Babs honoring Marvin Hamlisch with "The Way We Were." Classy.
-- Sound mixing on Norah Jones is terrible too. Maybe next year they should bring the orchestra back into the theater. Just a thought....
-- Yay! Adele won Best Orignal Song. And she was so cute in her speech. Love her! And now she'shalfway to her EGOT.
-- Wait ... There was a screenplay for Beasts of the Southern Wild? Coulda fooled me.
-- Yay! Argo wins for Best Adapted Screenplay. It screwed me up in the Oscar pool but, combined with its Best Editing win, is hopefully a good sign for Best Picture.
-- Best Director was a total toss up since Ben Affleck wasn't nominated. I picked Spielberg in the
Oscar pool, but am happy Ang Lee won. Life of Pi was a beautiful film.
-- Oh poor Jennifer Lawrence. Her gorgeous dress made her fall. But yay for Hugh Jackman rushing to help her.
-- And Daniel Day Lewis makes history as a three-time Best Actor winner. Tom Hanks... Whatcha gonna do about that?
-- The Oscars are going to be FOUR hours at this point. Wow.
-- YES! YES! YES! Argo wins Best Picture!!!! So happy for Ben and George. But mostly for Ben. He made an amazing movie that is the perfect mix of drama, comedy, action and suspense, with a great cast and a riveting STORY. And I loved his fast-talking, flustered, from-the-heart speech. Choking up when mentioning his kids.. Sniff.
