We're all tired of post-Oscars coverage, aren't we? But seeing as I haven't missed an Oscars ceremony since I was about ten years old, I just thought I'd add my two cents.
*Okay, let's NOT invite Neil Patrick Harris back to host. Yikes. I enjoyed the opening number, but that had more to do with the special effects than with his hosting/singing/acting/whatever abilities. His jokes bombed, he looked uncomfortable, and it was overall such a bummer of a ceremony after Ellen rocked it last year.
*Really enjoyed the majority of the acceptance speeches, especially the ones by Patricia Arquette, Graham Moore, and John Legend and Common. In spite of the glitz and glam of the Oscars, they reminded us that there are real people out there struggling and to join the ongoing fight for justice.
*While I apparently was alone at our party in thinking that the "Sound of Music" segment was really weird (like...really really REALLY weird), I enjoyed seeing Julie Andrews come out at the end. She's the best.
*Everything Is Awesome! What a fun performance, and yes that was Will Arnett as Batman. And Lego Oscars! Yay!
*JOHN TRAVOLTA STOP BEING CREEPY.
*Eddie Redmayne!! Sorry, I have a huge crush on him. He did an amazing job in The Theory of Everything, a film I absolutely loved.
*Julianne Moore! Grand Budapest Hotel! Feast! Hooray for the winners!
*"Glory". Incredibly moving. A well-deserved win for an amazing film that was by far one of the best of the year.
*Birdman for Best Picture? Really? I liked it, but Best Picture? Uh...okay Academy, if you say so. This movie screwed up my Oscar betting...I didn't think it was going to win EVERYTHING. Oh well. I have a feeling this will be one of those years we look back and be like "Oh yeah Birdman won that year! That was weird." Happy for a Mexican director winning again, though. Viva Mexico!
*Seriously, NPH. Don't host again.
Bye bye Oscars, see you again next year!
