The 77th Annual Academy Awards
I enjoy watching the Academy Awards each year especially with others.
I watched last night’s show with a friend and it was fun, although I thought the show seemed cheap and poorly staged not to mention overly scripted and downright boring. Here’s MSN’s review. Here’s a list of the winners.
Chris Rock seemed to be trying too hard at times and his shouting became tiresome. Some of his jokes were hysterical, however, especially when he started comparing President Bush’s handling of our country’s finances with the life of a cashier at The Gap.
Giving awards in the audience was bizarre. You had top-tier actresses like Cate Blanchett in these beautiful, expensive gowns handing out awards with a backdrop of movie theater seats and aisles. Not very glamourous.
The set was absolutely horrible. Perhaps that why they decided to hand out statues in the theater aisles instead.
I’m so glad The Aviator didn’t win Best Picture. It was an entertaining film but I never bought Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes.
I haven’t seen Million Dollar Baby so I don’t know yet if I think it deserved the award. It’s defintely on my to-see list.
