Oscar winners

Alright the much promised and maybe not so anticipated post on the Oscar winners is here!

So the Oscars turned out pretty much how I expected. Here are my thoughts on the winners.

Best Supporting Actor - Christoph Waltz
I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds. Well I take that back. I've seen the first few minutes of the first scene. Just up to the point where you see someone hiding under the floor. That's it. Yes I know. I need to see it. Apparently he's amazing in it. He's good in those few minutes. So I'm OK with this.

Best Supporting Actress - Mo'Nique
I'm TOTALLY happy about this! I wasn't a big fan of Precious to be honest. I thought Gabourey Sidibe had her moments of good. But overall I thought the movie was way too depressing and kinda slow. However, that's not true of Mo'Nique. She absolutely MADE that movie. She's a total monster in it but she's FABULOUS. There is definitely no one else that could have played Mary Jones like she did. I say well done baby!

Best Actor - Jeff Bridges
Yeah no surprise. I haven't seen Crazy Heart, at least not more than the first few minutes, but everyone says he's awesome. Friends have said he really does do a fabulous job portraying an alcoholic. So I guess I say he deserved it. Personally I was rooting for Morgan Freeman, who serious WAS Nelson Mandela, or George Clooney who was awesome in Up in the Air. I guess I have to see Crazy Heart to really judge Bridges.

Best Actress - Sandra Bullock.
Hmmm. I dunno. I saw the Blind Side and she's GOOD. I'm not saying she did a horrible job. She was really good in the role. But I don't think she really deserved an Oscar for it, at least not with her competition. I don't know. I just felt like another actresses could have played the role and still done a good job, whereas there were other actresses in the category who you couldn't say that about. Gabourey Sidibe, for example - she may not have been awesome the WHOLE time in Precious but she had her moments and I still say no one else could have played the role the way she did. There were also 2 actresses who truly MADE their movies. Carey Mulligan in An Education - NO ONE else could have played that role, and the movie would not have been as good without her. And of course, Meryl Streep - are you kidding? That woman seriously WAS Julia Child!! The movie definitely, DEFINITELY would have been terrible without Meryl as Julia, at least in my opinion. So to me, the ones who deserve the Oscar are the ones where you can say "Those actresses MADE that movie and no one else could have played that part", not someone who you say "Wow she was good. But she didn't make the movie. Another actress could have played the part".

That said, I absolutely LOVED Sandra Bullock's speech. It was fabulous. As was her dress.

Best Director - Kathryn Bigelow
WOOHOO! I was excited she won. She did a great job directing The Hurt Locker. Plus, Barbara, a former nominee, got to give it to the first woman to ever win Best Director. But here's why I loved it so much. She was sitting right in front of her ex-husband James Cameron. I don't care that their friends. I kept waiting for her to turn around to him and go "SUCK IT" or at the very least get up there and go "I"M QUEEN OF THE WORLD!"

Although it would've been funny to see what James Cameron would do to top "I"m King of the World" in his speech. My bet - "I'm King of ANOTHER World!"

Best Picture - The Hurt Locker
You know I'm really and truly ok/happy with this. I loved Avatar. I thought Avatar was amazing. But The Hurt Locker is a pretty fabulous movie. And it really sticks with you and makes you think. Plus it's nice to see a small movie win over gigantic stuff.

Not to mention I LOVED when the cast got up there and the guys were jumping on each other. So cute :-)

That's my thoughts on the Oscar winners. What do you think?
