It was the "82nd Annual Academy Awards", better known
as the (Oscars) held in Los Angeles, California. A dream
I hope to experience one day.***
This year (Steve Martin) and (Alec Baldwin) hosted
with a new script in line gave for an overall better experience.
I can say, this saved the show-this year. Although the beauty
and glamour is almost lost there are some pieces of it that
remain.***
The grace of (Helen Mirren), the beauty of (Meryl Streep),
the splendor of (Kate Winslet)-the last line of the magnificent
females in Hollywood. That nice also gave us the smile of
(Jeff Bridges), the class of (Tom Hanks), the sincerity
of (Kathryn Bigelow) and the heart of a surprising winner
(Sandra Bullock). These people whom stand and share their
words before us and Oscar really do support what the film
industry is.***
I find it sad when a film such as "Inglorious Bastards"
is nominated with some of the biggest films of the year
yet no one will see (Brad Pitt) any where - not here nor
the "Golden Globes". Is he unsupportive to those around
him? I always find it sincere and humbling whether the actor/actress,
though not nominated for their role, will show to support
that of their fellow cast and crew or a winner that can
stand before an audience to thank the others in that category
with them. Afterall where would they be without their competition?***
This year after reading a column in the (New York Times)
I was worried about the show and up until twenty minutes
before hand debated or not to watching the awards. I thought
all would be lost within this world - once honored and glorified
with the likes of (Betty Davis), (Greta Grabo), (Bob Hope),
(Carey Grant) and many more. When great speeches came from
past winners of (Grace Kelly), (Sally Field), (Dustin Hoffman),
(Clint Eastwood), and this year (Sandy Powell), I believe
words truly are becoming a lost art.***
I did not watch the show last year it broke my heart
too much. (2010) seemed to be the year I would stop all
together for the fear only one or two films would dominate
the show entirely. I was wrong therefore I am interested
to see what will come around next year.***
For the first year working together (Jonas Rivera)
and (Bob Peterson) attempt to bring something new and reviving
to the stage-it wasn't a complete failure. The strong changes
were the entrances of the presenters, the visuals on stage
from the comedy to the dancing for (Best Musical Score)
and actors’ honoring their fellow actors in (Best Actor)
category was fresh and new for me this year . I saw humble
people in the industry stand on the stage and bring their
heart for everyone to see. Whether it was real or acting
it allowed the viewer to feel apart of it.***
I was pleasantly surprised about the films nominated,
those that won and those that did not. I especially enjoyed
the last bit with (Tom Hank's) quick announcement for winner
in (Best Film), It was completely off guard and right to
the point. If it wasn’t planned good work on your feet Tom
and I loved it.***
I would like to see presenters be something other then
the same actors year in and year out, and why is it (Jennifer
Lopez) is a presenter but (Fergie) isn't? Why is it that
(Queen Latifah) stood on the stage to announce when perhaps
(Mo'nique) or even (Oprah) should have don the honors. The
choice of presenters is the same as what is on the cover
of magazines. The same old tiresome bunch of people no one
seems to care about anymore. People do want new, inviting,
fresh and well-spoken people. When (Barbara Streisand) can
barely walk on and off the stage, three things came to my
mind: why her?, change your shoes or have her walk up to
the mic without steps and she won't look bad. I don't understand
when the world of Hollywood came to think cheap and oversold
would sell more. Repetitive and uniform things often cause
revolts...eventually. Give us people to wonder, lust and
be excited to see. (Gerard Bulter) sure is pretty, but I
would love to see (Aaron Eckhart) stand to announce or (Amy
Adams) with her porcelain face and cheery attitude.***
Steve and Alec were a dynamic duo, funny and uncharacteristic
to stand together. Why place (Rachel McAdams) and (Jake
Gyllenhaul) whom look so uncomfortable together they screamed
boredom and stood a far distance from each other? (Kristin
Steward) looked high and could barely read off the screen
speaking only a few short lines and that still caused her
to a mess up. This is the young and upcoming actor? This
is what we want our children to look up to? Funny the way
class and effort can be thrown away.***
Perhaps it goes back to no one cares anymore. It's
about money and sponsors. Which is why the glamour and nobility
is gone.***
This year production improved, the set design was pleasing,
the line up for awards flowing more smoothly, perhaps it’s
because the fashion wasn’t up to par?***
It was boring and the dresses wore the actors not the
actors wearing the dresses. Uncomfortable looking, the colors
muted and fit unflattering to their bodies (speaking mostly
of the women). If I had the body to wear (Dior), (Armani)
or (Herrera) I would want to wear it and wear it well. Respect
thy self and others.***
I love to watch the colors and flowing fabrics come
down the walkway but this year nothing was inspiring, nothing
screamed off the red carpet. I could not help but wonder
why no one honored the late (Alexander McQueen), with the
range in films, didn’t anyone want to wear a fierce dress?
Though I can say I would rather have seen the results that
unfolded with the films this year then that of the dress
code I am glad each of the actors were all covered and dressed
for the regal affair.***
On a personal note (Keanu Reeves) and (Tom Ford) wearing
nothing more then black suits, in my opinion they wear those
black suits extremely well.***
