Okay everybody, the Oscars are on! Can't help it, but I have to watch it year for year. Although I am sorry to admit, that this year I haven't watched a single nominated movie! Me, not watching these films, has less to do with their topic - in the contrary - but with actually going to the movies. It's just no fun anymore, at least not in New York City. - The Ziegfeld theater being an exception! - I couldn't agree more with what Oliver already said!
Now, 45 minutes into the show, I can't help but ABSOLUTELY loving it! From the moment I heard that Hugh Jackman would be hosting, I knew that regardless of having watched the nominated performances or not, I wanted to watch it and Hugh Jackman and the new designers and show architects are the BEST that has happened to this show in YEARS. It's exquisit.
During the red carpet segment, I was mourning with Mikey Rourke his departed dog, I was super moved seeing Kate Winslet in this gorgeous dress and hairdo - I hope she wins! (At least, I saw her in Revolutionary Raod, of course I did - not alone because of her to be honest). And then again I was moved by Penelope Cruz' acceptance speach. And there it goes. It's really, really cool tonight. "The Duchess" won for Costume Designe, yeah - another movie I've seen! It's one of these events you're sorta look forward to but don't have any expections and it turns out to be so much better than hoped for,
So, as it says in my subject line, I am roothing for Kate Winslet. And I am hoping that Danny Boyle wins too - two Brits, well deserved.
