And the Oscar goes to......

What a great night for Oscar! We saw the welcome return of Billy Crystal hosting the show and he was great! Humor, music, great fashion; it was everything we expected and more. Thank goodness the idiotic antics of Sacha Baron Cohen didn't overshadow the rest of the show. Just when I was starting to appreciate him in Hugo, he pulls his usual insanity. Don't waste your hard earned dollars on his "movie". Congrats to The Artist for all their well deserved wins for best picture and best actor among them. A few disappointing surprises including best makeup...Iron Lady over Harry Potter? Seriously? Some fake teeth and pearls and that wins over the amazing talents of  Harry Potter? Also, who chose "Man or Muppet" over "Rio"? Not to mention that there was only two songs nominated out of all the worthy movies from last year. Meryl Streep is truly one of our best actresses ever but I thought her performance was dull compared to Viola Davis in The Help. As for the winners, Hugo got many well deserved Oscars for technical and The Artist for making history with a black and white silent movie. 
Time to start over and look forward to next year.

OSCAR SUNDAY!!!!!

The Oscars are here! Who are you voting for? Here are my picks for the movies.
Best Actor.. Jean Dujardin
Best Actress...Viola Davis
Best Supporting Actor...Christopher Plummer
Best Supporting Actress...Octavia Spencer
Best Director...Michael Hazanavicius
Best Picture... The Artist
There are so many great pictures this year that it's hard to choose! The Descendants and The Help were great as was George Clooney in his role, but I think these are the odds on favorites to win. Have fun watching todays broadcast!
