What was that!? Oscars went all M. Night
Shyamalan with a twist ending. So La La
Land didn’t end up dancing into the sunset with a Best Picture win. I did
not have a good prediction year. It goes to show that researching is sometimes
useless. I thought that Jimmy Kimmel did a pretty good job. I really enjoyed his
constant mocking of Matt Damon (what a good sport) including the playing off
his award presenting. The parachuting candy was cute and I surprisingly loved
the tour group that got to see the celebrities up close and personal. My
revelation of the night is that all of Sting’s songs are starting to sound the
same, he could have broke into ‘Fields of Gold’ seamlessly tonight and no one
would have known the difference. I thought the nomination packages were a
little lackluster this year but I appreciated seeing all nominees getting a
clip instead of rushing the best actor/actress ones and just seeing the best
picture nominees at the end instead of throughout. I wish they would have shown
some of the movie magic in action, like seeing the actors getting made-up for
the make-up nominees or the visual effects added to the films during their
nominations. Best presenters of the night were John Cho and Leslie Mann who
made the Sci-Fi awards (held earlier) look like fun. Anyway, only got 15 right
this year. Bummer. Here’s who won:
