Well, the Oscars were yesterday. Some years I watch the show, and some I don’t – this one I did though I hadn’t seen many of the movies, but I was intrigued by Chris Rock hosting. Here are my thoughts on the show:
Chris Rock was funny with his monologue. At least, I enjoyed him more than a lot of the hosts in the past. Robin Williams, though he can be a lot annoying, was actually kinda funny when he was introducing the animated feature nominees.
What’s up with Beyonce singing 3 of the 5 nominated songs? They couldn’t actually get others to sing those other songs?
I was a bit disappointed to see Martin Scorcese lose again though I haven’t seen The Aviator. I really thought The Aviator was on a roll too until Hilary Swank won the Best Actress Award. Speaking of Hilary, apparently, she just needs to have the same accent as she did in Boys Don’t Cry and she’ll be nominated and win! At least, the accents sounded the same to me from what I’ve seen and heard (I haven’t actually seen Million Dollar Baby). And her dress looked like it was about to choke her from the front and show off a bit too much in the back. Annette Benning seemed like she would’ve been a good choice to win – though I haven’t seen Being Julia either. She just seemed really good from the clip that was shown.
Yay for Jamie Foxx for winning – I haven’t seen Ray, but from what I’ve seen, he looked like he did a great job playing Ray Charles.
Sean Penn coming to Jude Law’s rescue! Sean Penn, it was a joke. Chris Rock is a comedian. Let it go. I think Jude Law is a good actor, and I’m sure many people too otherwise he wouldn’t be in so many movies.
Yay for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind winning for original screenplay – a movie I’ve actually seen and really enjoyed. And yay for The Incredibles winning best animated film – obviously, the best choice among the 3 movies nominated even though I haven’t seen Shark Tales and even though I think Shrek 2 is a good movie.
Renee Zellweger looked like she had the hardest time walking in that dress, and she didn’t look very healthy either.
