2010 Live Oscar Blog Post (Cont'd)

The Oscars about to begin!

ALRIGHT! They brought back the orchestra!

This is strange though...presenting the best actor/actress nominees at the very beginning...this makes this like...a play or some weird game show...This announcer is using a shitty mic. Peaking like a mofo.

WOOOO!!!!!!! NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally brought class back to the Oscars. I love this. It's maybe a bit too classic, it's very 1920s Art Deco, classic cinema, but I love that kinda stuff...but we'll see how it functions for the rest of the show.

I love Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin is especially a classy choice for the Oscars.
This bit about Meryl Streep... "Over Rated"

*Trivia* "WHAT!? She didn't like The Jerk!?" what's the quote?

George Clooney doesn't seem very amused.

Best Supporting Actor

Matt Damon - Invictus
Woody Harleson - The Messenger
Christopher Plumer - The Last Station
Stanely Tucci - The Lovely Bones
Christoph Waltz - Inglorious Bastards

Winner
CHRISTOPH WALTZ

This is very well deserved. He was brilliant. He took on a very hard role, played it well, and kept it consistent. Just straight up good acting.

7:51 - What the hell is this Blind Side thing? Are they going to like...pitch all the best picture movies in between awards?

7:56 - wow...there are so many gimmicks this year for the Oscars, they are really desperate to gain viewers.

Best Animated Feature

Coraline
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
The Secret of Kells
The Princess and the Frog
Up

Do I have to explain why this won? Didn't think so.

8:00 - ew...Miley and Amanda Seyfried...UGLY!!!!!!!!!! Can someone please get Miley some braces?

Almost There - The Princess and the Frog
Down in New Orleans - The Princess and the Frog
Loin de Paname - Paris 36

Wait...did they just do a ton of thank yous, i thought this year they weren't supposed to do thank yous...

8:05 - District 9 was SOOOOOOOoooo awesome, I need to see it again, that movie was great. No Avatar, but it was amazing!

8:10 - I'm not feeling as opinionated this year...prolly cause this year's movies overall sucked real bad. Everyone kinda knows what's going to win and what's going to loose...

8:12 - WAIT! Are Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem dating?

Best Original Screenplay

The Hurt Locker
Inglorious Bastards
The Messenger
A Serious Man
Up

Best Original Screenplay Goes to:
The Hurt Locker

Ok, well...I might as well get this out now...This year there is a huge political battle between The Hurt Locker and Avatar...There are going to be a lot of political wins for The Hurt Locker...this'll be interesting. The Hurt Locker was a really fantastic movie, but it didn't go above and beyond the call of duty, Avatar did.

8:17 - Molly Ringwald is either really tall...or Mathew Broderick is really tiny...and why does Molly look really scared.

John Hughes Tribute
I didn't know he did so many of these movies...I mean I did...but I didn't. Here's to John Hughes, a man who took adolescent and treated them for what they were and what they were dealing with, rather than treating them like under developed people who aren't worth anything. He shined a light on teenagers that had never been shown before, and seems like it will never been shown again.

That was sweet, sincere and classy.

8:23 - Why did the cast of twilight not look very enthused about the John Hughes Tribute?

8:24 - So...I was under the impression that you could only be nominated for either best picture or best animated feature...are they bending the rules cause they screwed up this year and decided to nominated 10 movie for best picture durring the crappiest year for movies ever?

8:27 - "let's bring out these pretty actresses..." no but wait...Carrey Mulligan is ugly...at least with short hair she is.

8:30 - Are they about to introduce best live action short? Or are they just going to talk about the making of the short?

THANK YOU JOHN LACETER!!!!! "It's not about your equipment young film makers, it's about the telling of the story"

Best Animated Short

This is really strange...are they doing ALL the short subject categories together? Very strange...

Best Live Action Short

The Door
Instead of Abracadabra
Kavi
Miracle Fish
The New Tenants

Best Live Action Short
The New Tenants

Once again...I wish I had seen all these...But I did see "Instead of Abracadabra" and boy am I glad that didn't win. That movie was like a foreign Napoleon Dynamite who did magic tricks...it was stupid...

8:38 - Ben Stiller is redonk...He is really funny. Damn, he went all out.

Best Make-Up

Il Divo
Star Trek
The Young Victoria

Best Make-Up
Star Trek

Wait...I mean...I guess I'm ok with this win...by why wasn't District 9 nominated? The make-up on that arm and what now was baller. But I guess there was more overall make-up in Star Trek...but man...none of these movies had anything that went above what make-up can already do...Like...wasn't it Benjamin Button last year?

8:44 - A Serious Man better not win. SWEET! Finally! A Comercial, I need a pee break!!!!

8:48 - MMmmmmmmm I love Rachel McAdams

Best Adapted Screenplay

Up in the Air
Precious
In the Loop
An Education
District 9

The Winner is:
Precious

Well...I'm not familiar with the source material of any of these except for District 9...so maybe the writer of Precious did an extremely brilliant job...but I feel like An Education was a better script. PS. Why is Tyler Perry crying? Someone needs to put Tyler Perry in check.

Now that no one can give thank yous on stage, the writers are going to have the best speeches haha.

Best Supporting Actress

Penelope Cruiz
Vera Farmiga
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Anna Kendrick
Mo'Nique

Best Supporting Actress
Mo'Nique

Totally deserved this, the only one to really push themselves in a role and be extremely real.

Mo'Nique...about the performance and not the politics...yeah...it's about your performance...but don't try to tell me anything Precious wins has absolutely nothing to do with politics...cause everyone was apart of that movie for politics...HA! Sam Jackson just made the best face in response to her speech.

Wow...I didn't know Roy Disney Died...

huh...wait...that was actually extremely short...it's usually much much longer...didn't a boat load of people die this year?

9:45 - Sam Worthington needs his big ass hipster glasses to see the prompter.

I'm actually ok with this one, the editing was pretty slick. Compared to the other ones, they didn't do anything new or special.

Saw it coming...once again...POLITICAL OSCARS! But I have no problem with her getting it, so long as Avatar gets best picture...we'll find out shortly...

BEST PICTURE

THE HURT LOCKER

Fuck that! ok, time for a quick rant. Hurt Locker, really good movie, one of the best this year. The ending did suck tho. HOWEVER! It was just a good movie. It wasn't an amazing movie, it wasn't a mind blowing movie, it was just a good movie. It did exactly what a good movie should do. It didn't do anything special, which Avatar actually did. Yes...the movie had it's flaws, but from a producers stand point, and for pioneering something new...it was flawless and executed brilliantly to sound of over $2billion. Avatar created something new and unique and brought excitement back to cinema, the Hurt Locker made me feel nothing more than the feeling of watching a good movie...nothing more...nothing less...

The 2010 Oscars were the weirdest things I have ever seen. This shall be known as:
The Oscars of Mediocrity.
