Oscar Review


So Last night was the Oscars or as they were calling it the "hip Oscars." Both Anne Hathaway and James Franko had chemistry during the Oscars promos but on Oscar night the clear winner was Anne Hathaway. She had great comedic timing when Melissa Leo said the F-bomb and she said she though F stood for the Fighter. She even stole the show in the video montage as the duck and saying "in the future microphones get bigger." Then I loved her singing her own version of On My Own mocking Hugh Jackman however her WooHooing and cheering did get a tad annoying. Overall I think she did a great job compared to James Franco who took a backseat and just sat there. If anything all the action he had was all the tweeting of pictures from the back stage.

Reading reviews of the show as usual it got boring reviews but it has been hard to fulfill Billy Crystals shoes. When I think of last good host I think Hugh did a pretty good job and Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing award host although he is stretched pretty thin when it comes to awards since he has done a good job with the Emmy, Tony, and a mini montage for the Oscars too. Although Anne and James did a good job Robert Downey Junior stole the show again with his comedic timing when he presented with Jude Law and putting out there that although he was caught he can laugh at himself. Will he be the next host? Doubt it but he has made people laugh with just his presence as a presenter.

Another great presenter that did great with a laugh was Sandra Bullock who was in a different place this year. Saying things like Jessie you havent accepted my Facebook request and Jeff Bridges is greedy trying to get another Oscar. Then who could forget Kurt Douglas, who was hard to understand but kept saying you know.. you know which then Justin Timberlake mocked when he presented.

Overall all the Oscars for Best Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress were all predictable. No surprises like there sometimes are and the Best Picture went to the Kings Speech which was a good movie although it is your typical Oscar pick with a story about a person overcoming something. If they wanted to make it the hip Oscars they should have gone with the Social Network. Both great movies and stories. Honestly the Oscars need to go back to the top 5 movies not 10 because it is ridiculous for movies like the Kids are all Right and Toy Story to be nominated especially with an animated category.

Now on to Fashion. My top picks I loved Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and Mila Kunis were some of my favorite dresses. I was not a fan of Cate Blanchetts dress which looked like an apron/ pink beaded Telly Tubby. The colors that were big were Reds and natural colors.
