Oscars

Meh. Boring, as expected. Some of the speeches were good, like Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. And when they auto-tuned Ron and Hermione, that was hilarious. And Kirk Douglas was really funny. Oh, and Aaron Sorkin won! Huzzah! But, like I said, overall it was meh. And WAY too long. But that's normal. I think the problem I have is that it's a little too predictable this year - no big surprises. Not like the year with Avatar and The Hurt Locker , because that year had drama and suspense. At least Natalie Portman won, which made me happy, but her speech was a little... something. Okay, so I spoke too soon. Best Picture went to The King's Speech , which is definitely a surprise. It makes me happy though, because I bet that movie was really great. Haven't seen it yet, but Colin Firth is amazing and Geoffrey Rush is incredible, so I'm sure it's great. Huzzah for surprises and also huzzah that The Social Network didn't win!

Oscar Predictions 2011

Okay, so I have decided that I don't care about the Academy Awards this year because, in my opinion, none of the movies are worth me caring about. So, instead of predicting who I think will win, I think I'm going to list the movies that will make me mad if they win. Much more fun! To be fair to some of the films, I haven't seen them, so I won't include those in my "ugh" predictions. I got irritated with the films I actually saw so I stopped watching. I will also not be blogging live during the show, but will have a post-Oscars blog that I'm sure you will read. :) Here goes! Best Picture - The Fighter . This movie was not worth all the hype. If it wins, that would be a travesty. I am honestly pulling for Toy Story 3 and Black Swan , but I think everyone thinks it'll be The Social Network , which is whatever. Just not Mark Wahlberg. Best Actor - NOT Jesse Eisenberg because he was okay but really irritating. I am excited to see The King's Speech bec
