I...I actually loved last year's Oscar ceremony. I found Macfarlane as funny as he was awkward. I was on my feet when I saw Zeta-Jones perform 'All That Jazz.' (I adore Chicago). I sang my heart out when the cast of Les Miserables sang 'One Day More.' Then I was on my feet actually applauding the win of Ang Lee, who I thought made a much better film than Ben Affleck. As fake as Hathaway may seem, she really deserved to win so I was happy. Christoph Waltz was a worthy winner. <br /><br />The low point of my evening was DDL winning, as well as J-Law winning. They both gave great performances, but they were clearly inferior to some of the competition. Phoenix should have won, and any of the other nominees were more worthy than J-Law in my opinion. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your reaction though! It amazes me how different we are in respect to what we find entertaining :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187577008022989336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-8329011956689665712013-03-03T22:04:26.783+01:002013-03-03T22:04:26.783+01:00Ha ha.

I told myself I would not watch the Oscars but you know I did. I loved the Charlize dancing bit and the Adele singing bit and the JHudson singing bit (although my friend who I was live texting the Oscars with thought she was a bit of a screamer) - Les Mis performance was a bit of a letdown, although my mom was like that guy (Hugh Jackman) is a good singer :) I was taken aback by the abruptness of the James Bond tribute (I use that term advisedly).<br /><br />Poor KStew … I am certainly not a hater but she just had hot mess written all over her. She obviously had better places to be.iluvcinemahttp://iluvcinema.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-74294680517246874892013-03-01T22:52:48.572+01:002013-03-01T22:52:48.572+01:00You're right, that whole montage was just so b...You're right, that whole montage was just so boring.

Being a diehard fan of Pace, then it would have made up for McFarlane "jokes" and so many other things that evening.

It's fine if you hate her, but don't then call someone else out for hating someone you happen to like. You can't have it both ways. Either you've got to allow them their hatred, or you've got to rein yours in before you point out theirs. I'm sure they feel their reasons for their hatred are just as justified as you feel yours are.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-18121248185250088082013-02-27T16:51:32.943+01:002013-02-27T16:51:32.943+01:00I think the numbers could be due to the two popula...I think the numbers could be due to the two popular actresses being the frontrunners for wins - Lawrence is so beloved now, Hathaway was basically promoting her ass off too. I have to say it's hard for me to imagine someone watching 3h of Oscars just for MacFarlane.<br /><br />Yeah, but the way it looked was quite awful.

I mean did the producers have ADD or what?! BUT I feel Seth MacFarlane was a lot classier (read safe) as the evening progressed. Anyone who is familiar with his type of comedy knows he usually is a lot dirtier. Did the Oscar producers even see Ted? Overall I thought he did a fine job. Not great, but not horrible either. At least he got people to tune in. Highest rated telecast since 2007 I heard. <br /><br />P.S. I guess the way Anne Hathaway’s dress was finished in the front made it look like her chest was cold, but that was the design of an admittedly unflattering dress, not her actual body showing through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-16753364523783140112013-02-27T04:38:58.393+01:002013-02-27T04:38:58.393+01:00Great post. :-) The fact that Wallis was carrying ...Great post. :-) The fact that Wallis was carrying a puppy purse makes me smile.
