Wow! A lot of surprise winners!
Throughout the years, I've always had a love/hate relationship regarding the Oscars, but tonight, although most my favorites lost, I wasn't disappointed because there were SO MANY intelligent films made last year.
My comments:
Cool that IMDb got a free plug in the show about an upcoming film...That is the greatest film site on the Internet. Want to know what your favorite actor/actress/directors' next film projects are in the next 3 or so years? Check out IMDb.com. Awesome site.
As I was saying, 'How effin' rude!' when songwriter (and actress) Markéta Irglová wasn't given time to give her speech, after the commercial was over they did give her the chance. So that was good. Her and Glen Hansards' song,
Falling Slowly, was the best song in the film, and the best song nominated, IMO.
I was thinking about my favorite singer, Elton John, during the songs nominated, and so was
very pleasantly surprised when they did a clip of Elton when he won his Oscar in 1995 for the 1994 song from
The Lion King:
Can You Feel the Love Tonight. I remember there were about 4 songs nominated and 3 of those 4 songs were his. I mean, how could he
not take home an Oscar that night? I was just hoping that my favorite song from that film would be the winner, and it was. So cool to see that scene again! And Elton LOVES films so I know that was a very special win for him. Gosh, I'd love to sit down with Elton and talk about films all day....
Critics were complaining about Colin Farrell's long hair...He looks hot to me! I love his long hair. I wish my BF would grow his hair that long; he has in the past, but prefer it short.
Nice to see Owen Wilson again....And I hear will be back filming in March.
Jon Stewart was funny and a great host.
