I LOVED THE OSCARS!!!

I've been talking about the Oscars all day and I'm pretty sure my friends were sick of it. But I didn't care, I just couldn't hold it in.

Okay, when I heard Hugh Jackman was hosting I wasn't so sure he'd be funny because he's not known for his comedy. But oh boy, I was dead wrong. His first act was HILARIOUS!


wow, he's not only a hottie, but a comedian. who knew?

I was kind of surprised about how they quickly went straight to the best supporting actress catigory, however, I did like it because it got me interested right off the bat. I also liked how they presented it with five past winners and how they explained every woman's role. I loved Penelope Cruz's acceptance speech (Although I did not see her movie) because she was so humbled and in awe. You could see a lot of other stars teary-eyed over it.

I loved Steve Martin and Tina Fey's performance while presenting best original screenplay. They meshed so well together. My favorite part was when Steve said "Don't fall in love with me" forcefully to Tina. I also loved that Milk won that award even though I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard good things about it and hello it did win best original screenplay.

I didn't realize how much humor was in the Oscars until Ben Stiller came on stage to present with Natalie Portman, who looked absolutely stunning. Ben stiller was hilarious imitating Joaquin Pheonix and the way he bizarrely acted on The David Lettermen Show.



I was so happy when Wall-E won best animated feature film. I saw it coming, but it still made me want to jump for joy. Even though it's animated it's still one of my favorite films.

Okay, I haven't seen Benjamen Button yet. I know, I know, what is wrong with me? I was still really happy when it won a lot of the art department awards. I saw how they made Brad Pitt old and it was amazing. They had to do like 20 different techniques for just a few minutes of acting. Plus, they spent millions of dollars on it. Their work obviously payed off.

I loved that James Franco and Seth Rogen reenacted their Pineapple Express roles for the comedies that didn't get selected. And how they found even the deepest films funny, but then when it came to a scene with James Franco and Sean Penn in Milk they both got serious. Oh, and how the scene was where James and Sean were kissing and then you see Seth scooting over a little. I love those guys.

Hugh Jackman and Beyonce's musical performance was great. First of all, Beyonce looked amazing and as always her voice was fantastic. I also didn't realize that Hugh was such a good singer, but he was belting out those notes well. I was extremely surprised to see Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens come out singing along with Amanda Seyfriend and Dominic Cooper. i was wondering why Zac and Vanessa were there. They all did a good job singing and dancing. I was even impressed with Vanessa. I don't know, for some reason I don't like her. (Sorry, Amy.) Maybe because of her popularity or that she's dating Zac? Who knows?!

Again, I loved the set-up of the five past winners presenting the best supporting actor award. I immediately knew Heath Ledger was going to win. His performance was amazing in The Dark Knight, not only how dark he went, but how different he acted than usual. His family was so wonderful while accepting his award. The things they said about the Academy and how thankful they were for recognizing Heath was really touching. And how they loved Heath and his performance. Aw, I miss Heath so much:(

I absolutely loved the performance by A.R. Rahman and the Indian dancers. I wished M.I.A. could have performed with him, but I understood since she just had her baby. John Legend was fantastic as usual and I loved the South African Choir. I know that song was from Wall-E, but I really didn't remember hearing it in the actual movie. I also loved A.R. Rahman's second performance. "Jai Ho" was my favorite song in the movie and it deserved to win.

Queen Latifa sang beautifully while the slide show showed all who've died this year in the film industry. When they showed Bernie Mac, I became uber sad because I always forget that he died. He was only 50. I loved the little tribute to Paul Newman. He influenced so many people; not only those in the film industry, but those all over the world.

There was so many amazing women on stage while presenting the best actress award. Nicole Kidmen, Hallee Berry, Marion Cotillard...etc. So many great actresses were up for best actress. Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie...etc. I literally started jumping up and down on the couch when they announced Kate Winslet as winner of best actress. She deserved it; not only because she's been nominated like five times for it, but her performance in The Reader was phenomenal (So, I hear. I know, I need to see it). Her acceptance speech was so...so honest and humble. I liked the fact that she gave props to the other nominees. Oh, how i love her so much.

Omg, there was so many awesome actors presenting the best actor award. Robert DiNiro, Michael Douglas, Adrian Brody...etc. I mean WOW! Even though I hadn't seen Milk, I was still extremely happy that Sean Penn won. From what I've seen of Milk through short clips, he deserved it. His acceptance speech was so amazing. I liked how he talked about equal rights for everyone including homosexuals and how amazing Obama was. He's such a great actor and person.

The anticipation for the best picture category to come was a lot to bear. First of all, it was very fitting for Steven Spielberg to present it. Second, there was so many great movies up for it. Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Benjamen Button...etc. of course I was rooting for Slumdog Millionaire, but there was so many other good movies. My heart felt like it leaped out of my chest when they announced Slumdog Millionaire as the winner. Then, my heart leaped again when the ENTIRE cast walked on to stage. The younger actors were adorable. They're one of the reasons why Slumdog Millionaire is so great.

Overall, if not one of the best Oscars than the BEST Oscars ever!
i love movies so much.
