Considering all of the hype surrounding the Academy Awards with the new format and all I gotta say they were just okay. Hugh Jackman wasn't that good of a host I think it would have probably been better if they would have gotten a comedian to be the host like they always do. I liked the stage and how it was much closer to the audience as opposed to year's past. A few highlights of the Oscars for me were Ben Stiller making fun of Joaquin Phoenix, Jack Black's comment on how he does voice work for Dreamworks and then uses the money to bet on Pixar at the Oscars, and Judd Apatow's short film with Seth Rogen and James Franco.
As for the presentations of the awards I really don't like the new format for presenting the acting Oscars by having a past winner talk about a current nominee. If the producers wanted to bring down the length of the telecast they should have just done the clips like they always do. I also found it odd that they had Reese Witherspoon presenting the award for Best Director couldn't they have just gotten someone who had won the award before instead of an actress? I did like the way they went through some of the technical Oscars pretty quickly though.
As for the winners themselves I got 19/24 right which is better than I did last year. I think I only got 15 or 16 right last year. I was a bit disappointed Mickey Rourke and Waltz With Bashir didn't win but that's about it. Anyways thats pretty much all I really have to say about the Oscars.
Coming soon an entry about something completely different.
