Yeah I know this post is like super late. I've been busy for the past weeks, so I'll just pretend the Oscars happened last night. Seems the Academy is a bit choi this year. Last week the Oscars went to all the movies that has blood spurting all over the place. It wasn't different compared to the past shows. It was still boring, it was still predictable and Johnny Depp still didn't win!
The show was hosted by "funny man" Jon Stewart and all I can say is "Please bring back Ellen DeGeneres!" I mean no offense to Jon but seriously the guy isn't funny. His monologue at the start of the show was all about politics and none of them were funny at all. The whole day it was just Hillary and Obama, bla bla bla bla... Thank god the writer's strike ended. God knows what would have happened if it was only him writing the script.
This year was kinda special because I think this is the first time all the acting awards went to non-Americans. Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor for his role in No Country For Old Men. Daniel Day Lewis won Best Actor for There Will Be Blood. Tilda Swinton(the witch lady from Narnia) won Best Supporting Actress. And the super hot Marion Cotillard won Best Actress.
Top honors went to the Coen brothers for they're movie, No Country For Old Men and like I said before, if your movie has no blood and rotting carcasses everywhere, you don't stand a chance. Other awards went to There Will Be Blood and Sweeney Todd.
Another highlight of the show was when they presented an In Memoriam video montage of all the actors/actresses and movie contributes who have passed away. Of course the best part of the montage was when they did a tribute to Heath Ledger who died on January 28th but surprisingly there were not much claps for him..wonder why? Another good part was when Amy Adams sang one of the songs from Enchanted on the stage. She may have looked good on the film but seriously watching her act like Giselle on stage was a bit geli...and another awkward part was when she shouted in super hig
h pitch "Wasn't this fun?" and then the music ended and there was no applause....sad.
I got the full list of winners here so enjoy...
