Oscars 2014

That just about sums it up!

The Academy Awards have come and gone, and I have to honestly say that it was one of the better ones in a long time! Just about every win felt well deserved, and we had a blast watching it at home! Let's reminisce, shall we?

Highlights:
*Ellen! She did a great job. With the epic group photo, the pizza order, and her adorably announcements of her outfit changes, she kept the mood light and the laughs rolling! Can we have her host every year? Pretty please?
*Bill Murray's impromptu Harold Ramis tribute during his turn as presenter. Truly lovely.
*Hooray for Frozen! Idina Menzel's performance of "Let It Go" was awesome, and I loved the rhyming acceptance speech.
*While my money was on "Let It Go" for the win, can we all agree that "The Moon Song" from Her is a wonderful song as well? I was humming it the rest of the night.
*Lupita and Meryl dancing with Pharrell!
*Hooray for the writing wins! I was especially happy for Spike Jonze.
*I was iffy about Pink singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", but she did a great job. And Bette! I haven't heard "Wind Beneath my Wings" in yeeeeeears!
*Lupita, Lupita, Lupita. She looked stunning, and her speech had us all tearing up. Your dreams are valid!
*Gravity and 12 Years A Slave were two of the best movies I saw this year, and I'm so happy about the way the awards ended up going. Gravity completely deserved all the technical awards, and 12 Years A Slave deserved the big win. We're going to be talking about these two films for a long long time.

The hilarious WTFs:
*"Adele Dazeem"?! You had ONE JOB, John Travolta! Oh well, at least it spawned a million hilarious memes and John Travolta Name Generators. And Adele Dazeem has her own Twitter now. Oh, the Internet!
*30 Seconds to Mars? Hahahaha dude you just won an Oscar. The silliness.
*Liza, you crazy!

Here are some photos from our little Oscar party! Thanks to all who spent the evening with us!
