BORINGGGGGGGG!
My God this academy never learns. The show ran one hour over time, but it felt like three. The host this year was Hugh Jackman, which pissed me off when I heard he was hosting. I had every right to. He was one of the worst hosts ever. He wasn't funny at all and humor is the only thing that helps me stay out of a coma. He did singing and dancing. If I want to see that crap I'll watch the Tonys. We couldn't rely on the host to make us laugh so we sought out relief from comedian actor attendees like Jack Black and Ben Stiller. Only James Franco and Seth Rogen's spoof made me laugh out loud. The show needs more interacting with the audience. More Jokes. If I was sitting in the Kodak theater being forced to watch that crap live Kramer would be in my seat more than I would. I'd be at the bar every 5 minutes. Counting the olives in my martinis would be more entertaining. Maybe next year I should just DVR the show and fast forward to the winners.
Another thing I hated this year was they didn't show clips from the movies the actors were nominated for. So if we didn't see the movie we don't get to see why the actors are even worthy of this award. With leaving that out the academy doesn't entice people to want to see the movie in the future. John Blah is nominated for this movie, but we won't show you a clip, just a camera on them in the audience sweating balls. Snoooozer!
I am happy with who won, but I would have preferred Mickey Rourke to have won best actor. His life in both "The Wrestler", and in real life is very tragic. I love Sean Penn like no other, but I like when everyone gets to have an Oscar on their toilet, whether in be in Kate Winslet's house or Mickey's trailer. Sean was excellent in "Milk". It was well earned. At least Penn got to go on stage and bash those religious hypocrite picketers.
I throughly enjoyed "Slumdog," but I got more from "Benjamin Button" and would have liked to see that win Best Picture.
Plans for Oscars 2010 Amy Adams, Johnny Depp, Jeff Bridges, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert Downey Jr., and Leonardo DiCaprio (just to name a few) really need an Oscar.
