Between his French accent and visibly shaking hands, Laurent Witz, who won with Alexandre Espigares for Mr. Hublot, was adorable. When I was young, I hated that the show had all the “littler” awards. I just wanted the four acting awards, best director and best picture. But as an adult, I like that the other awards are presented. It helps people understand all the work that goes into making a film, and the people who win those awards always seem very grateful and humble.
Harrison Ford has never been able to pull off that earring. Let it go, man.
Thank you, Kim Novak, for serving as a cautionary tale of the dangers of trying to remain youthful via having work done. It’s a sad commentary on our society that someone borderline iconic feels the need (and has the lack of judgment) to do that to themselves.
Lupita Nyong’o was the most gorgeous woman there. Her speech was one of the best and had me in tears. I love when someone relatively new to the industry wins an award because their speeches are not only sincerely grateful, but so full of excited energy.
Aren’t Chris Evans, Liam Hemsworth, and Channing Tatum pretty much interchangeable? I have a hard time keeping them apart.
When I first spotted him, I assumed Steve Coogan was there because he was a lead in Philomena. I didn’t realize he co-wrote the screenplay and was nominated. I’m assuming this is the first Academy Awards show he’s been to. I want to see Philomena just to see how the singer of “Rock Me Sexy Jesus” does in a serious role.
Sure, everyone’s talking about how John Travolta butchered Idina Menzel’s name. Can we talk about how her performance was subpar? From poor enunciation to voice cracks, it seemed apparent she was nervous, but isn’t she a Broadway star? Shouldn’t this be old hat to her?
While we’re on the subject of singing performances, Pink’s voice was lovely. Her breathing was not. She kept taking breaths at the most inappropriate times; it was frustrating to hear.
U2 always does well. Always.
Why was Jim Carrey there? Sure he had funny movies two decades ago, but his shtick hasn’t just gotten old, it’s on life support. Can he do anything other than make funny faces?
If I were at the Academy Awards, I would not want pizza delivered because I would make a pig of myself and someone would probably post a photo of me being said pig on Instagram. Also, I would likely get pizza sauce on my dress.
If I were at the Academy Awards, I would want pizza delivered because I would probably have been too nervous to eat anything prior to the ceremony and would be starving. Also, someone would probably post a photo of me being a pig on Instagram and everyone would love me for being “a real woman” and eating.
Thank you, Cate Blanchett, for perhaps the most honest speech given. For acknowledging that the award is random and subjective and for taking the industry to task and reminding them that movies featuring women do, in fact, make money.
Thank God Seth MacFarlane didn’t host again. That’s one boob no one wants to see.
