Oscar Night
This year's Oscar's were an almost complete disappointment to me. I LOVE the AAcademy Awards. I typically make it my mission to see every picture nominated for Best Picture. Not this year. I didn't see one of them. Really, not one of them looked appealing to me.
I was disappointed by all the awards for King Kong. Have you seen the clips? The fact that this movie was even nominated in a special effects category is mind boggling. It harkins to the Godzilla era of special effects. I don't know if it was just kiss Peter Jackson's butt night or what, but I did not think the King Kong awards were warranted. And, how on earth could Star Wars NOT win for makeup??? Please!
Best Award of the night by far and the one I was really rooting for?Best actress for Reese Witherspoon! I was so shocked she won even though I desperately wanted her to. She is phenomenal in Walk the Line! If she had lost to Kiera Knightly I might have thrown something at the TV. The only one I was prepared for her to lose to was Felicity Huffman, whom I adore not for Desperate Housewives(which I've never seen more than 5 minutes of), but for her role on a little known, but critically adored and loved by Mark and myself, show called Sports Night. Anyone ever see that show? It was great. Great writing, great acting. Funny!
I was glad to see Crash beat Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture. I would have been glad to see anything beat that movie. Maybe even King Kong!

I was so happy for Reese and I thought her acceptance speech was charming. I like Judi Dench, too, but that's beside the point...lol! I really love Keira Knightley, but not in that role so much. She'll get her due one day I'm sure. I heard George Clooney's acceptance speece was fab, but I haven't had a chance to go back and watch the part of the show I missed yet to see it. I was shocked Brokeback Mountain lost best picture. Not unhappy, just shocked. I think the only movies I saw that were nominated were Star Wars, P&P and Harry Potter. Sad huh? lol! Maybe this year's crop will be better. We can only hope.
