It's Oscar!

The Oscars are fantastic this year! After a string of snore fests, this year's show is exciting, innovative and...meaningful. I almost felt empathy for Penelope Cruz as she shook and trembled while she was being honored. Then I realized, she was a celebrity and therefore LESS human. People who spend over $800 for hair cannot possibly be from our species. That said, where oh where can we sign up? I want Kate Winslet's hair.

A few surprises. The technical awards are sometimes a chore to watch that I usually take my time to pee or grab more food, but I stayed put to watch the amiable Japanese guy thank Mr. Roboto. Ben Stiller's mad-hatter crazy Joaquin Phoenix impersonation kills. I loved what they did with the technical categories, especially the writing categories. It was actually clever.

And just as I thought that the Oscars completely abandoned Hollywood's addiction to smut, they went to transcendental proportions. They actually panned multiple times to Angelina The Jolie when Jennifer Aniston was presenting onstage. Ha! It's not so serious after all. The Academy wants a catfight? Very LOW CLASS, folks! I almost felt bad for Aniston, she looked frightened, tensed on stage. She stutterred at one point and was off in her timing. Maybe because Angelina was absoltuely stunning, like Olympian goddesses were inhabiting her body at the same time, and Aniston was presenting with Jack Black, who coincidnetally represents one of Jolie's movies? I feel bad for her but they have absolutely no right to cry out oppression. The took it upon themselves by littering my gossip blog readings.

I take back what I said. I cringed twice at Hugh Jackman's musical numbers. I felt a little bad for him.

(Am still watching...

I thought I might do this; I have nothing else to do. :P)

So heartbreaking. Heath shouldn't have died too soon. It's unfortunate that we dont get to see him today at the Oscars. That would've been some speech. And if Jack Nicholson were there, that would've been a riot.

Ohwell.

It's funny and wonderful at the same time, there's humanity at this year's Oscars. It seems sentimental this year. The lesser known technical people are heartwarming.

And I hate to admit this. It sounds perverted. I am totally crushing on Dev Patel! The shitz. He's a child! They keep panning to his face; this does not help.

It's over; Slumdog Millionaire won! And Dev looks disorientated and adorable. I want to hug him. :P

The nicest thing about this year's show was how they managed to keep it interesting and relevant. I loved the whole Yaya sisterhood going on with the acting nominees. This reminds us that there's more to movies than Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus. That said, what were they doing at the Oscars?
