Oscar Reactions

(Photo found here)

I have to say that I'm truly surprised. I'd thought Avatar would be the night's winner, it was so strange watching it win only the tecnical awards. Sorry, James Cameron. Even so, I'm very pleased that Kathryn Bigelow got the award since she's the first woman to ever receive Best Director. That's pretty good, isn't it, girls?

I was so upset that Inglourious Basterds only got one Oscar... I would have love to watch it win Best Original Screenplay and, possibly, Best Director. It was just an incredible movie and I think it's become one of my favorite movies.

I was extremely pleased with Up! I was so happy when it won not one, but two Oscars, including Best Animated Picture. I was very happy to watch Precious go home with two Oscars as well. I was so mad with the fact that An Education didn't win anything!

I predicted that Up In The Air, A Serious Man and Invictus would go home with nothing and I was right. They just didn't cut it (especially the Coens, ahh, I hated it so much). And Sandra Bullock as Best Actress, really?

Now, about the actual show. Well... last year's was one hundred times better. All the excitment with Slumdog Millionaire and the "Jai Ho" performance and Hugh Jackman (<3) as the host... this year didn't beat that at all. Don't get me wrong, I loved watching Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin up there, and they were funny (I cracked out laughing when they started talking about James Cameron and pulled out 3D glasses, epic!) and all, but... they weren't Hugh Jackmans.

Thank you so much for bearing with me with all these movie posts lately! I hope you enjoyed them, because I sure did. Who knows, maybe I'll get into the movie business one way or another (and the Oscar goes to...).

Sexy: Meryl Streep, Rachel McAdams and Miley Cyrus on the red carpet -- stunning!

Unsexy: The Oscars being seven hours away, thus ending at 5AM, thus making me look like a zombie this entire day.

John Mayer: 74 days; Miley Cyrus: 82 days; U2: 208 days.

Bisou, bisou *
