Oscar thoughts

[dangermousie]

This was my first relaxing Oscar watch in 2 years (last year was still too sick from the baby to watch comfily) and...

I was so bored! At one point I actually gave up and actively started doing housework, that is how bored I was.

Does it have to go on so long? And with so much self-praise (the acting awards - my God - when they got people out there to praise the nominees, I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out of sockets).

I think I was especially bored this year because

(a) I have seen only 2 of the 10 nominated Best Pics (Avatar and District 9). I liked both but I can't say I was in love with either. I have seen 5 other movies total out of all nominated categories - so yeah, most movies were an unknown land. We used to be avid movie-goers but not with the baby.

(b) Due to the baby and the fact that I've been watching so much Asian stuff, I didn't keep up at all with movies, celebrities etc - I didn't recognize half the people. Watching pretty people in pretty clothes is fun but not for 4 hours.

Oh, god, I know. And the writing is so awful. Steve and Alec are two very funny guys and they'd tried their best but nothing was funny. The NPH thing at the beginning was pretty good but that was about it.

And the whole "let's get five people who've worked with the best actor/actress nominees to introduce them" would be charming is the whole ceremony wasn't so damn long!!!!!! I was so tired to began with, that I was nodding on and off all night.

I was happy to see Bigelow win(though I haven't seen The Hurt Locker yet, but I plan to do so soon) because it was past time for woman to win. And I liked some of the acceptances speeches but other than that, I was sooooooooo bored. Really, three hours is more than enough much less four!!!

Lolikr. Really Academy? Was that really necessary?

But ia it was really dull. And to think they brought in Miley Cyrus and the twilight kids to "liven things up".
