How come we never hear about all the little categories? I don't even know what half of them are. There are so many categories, yet we only hear about a couple. Usually Best Actor and Actress and Best Film. The most unusual category that I hadn't seen or heard of one single movie was short films. I didn't even know they existed.
Another thing I don't like about the OSCARS is that it is the same couple movies in each categories, why not change it up a bit. I doubt that those were the only good movies this year. I had only seen one of the popular movies, True Grit. I really liked it too, but I saw some other ones that I really liked also and they weren't even mentioned A couple of the other popular movies were King's Speech, Black Swan, Toy Story 3, Inception, 127 Hours, and The Fighter.
I heard there was some complaining about the hosting. How do you think Anne Hathaway and James Franco did? Personally I thought it could've been better, but I didn't think it was horrible.
Did you get in on the kerfluffle surrounding Natalie Portman's dress? At the last minute she made a change because the designer of the dress she was going to wear made anti-Semitic comments. So she made a rather political decision to avoid wearing his dress. I thought it was very self-aware of her. She realized that the dress isn't just a garment, but an entire artistic means of communication itself.
ReplyDeleteI actually did not catch that. But I do think she made the right decision in changing dresses. The dress communicates who she is as a person. And if she were wearing a dress from someone who said things that she didn't believe than it would give the wrong picture of her.
