The Oscars

"The 92nd Annual Academy Awards"(the earliest one ever held(early Feb.)) checked in at it's normal time of 3 hours 30 minutes! The ceremony was good, smooth and highlighted by great musical performances and the highlights of the way music has went hand and hand with movies was good! Plus the presenters were good and tried to be funny it was nice to see beautiful elegant ladies like Julia Louis Dreyfus and Sigourney Weaver hand out awards as they shined and look sexy in gray and green dresses respectively.

Brad Pitt(he has finally arrived as the man! "Entertainment Weekly") as he won rightfully for best supporting actor for his well liked guy in "OUATIH" . Laura Dern won best supporting actress for her tough hard lawyer turn in "Marriage Story" as the Feb.10 birthday lady got an early present in the form of a gold statue! Having good genes from acting parents helps mold a winner! Renee Zellweger won best actress for her role as Judy Garland in "Judy" her speech was a moving emotional tribute to a Hollywood legend it was a tribute to history! Joaquin won as expected for "Joker" as the best actor winner's speech gave awareness to people to think of social issues, and remember to love.

Now surprise I must say that the crime drama and take on social class thriller "Parasite" rightfully won best international film, and the talented Bong Joon Ho winning best director was okay. However it was a little bit surprising when Jane Fonda's lips read the best picture winner as "Parasite" . And true I agree the South Korea picture was entertaining with a plot twist and kept you on edge as it was a cat and mouse game of guessing. Still the throwback golden era action drama of Quentin's "OUATIH" was upset! As the Academy typically likes to look at a throwback era that involves movie history with stories that connects movie stars! However the voters choose an international tale, the feeling of diversity is starting to ring true to members thoughts and minds! Overall good well done show(that had no host again for the second year in a row!) As the rightfully winners won and gave emotional speeches and again their was an upset with the best picture winner! Still "Parasite" is a super great film glad it broke some of the Academy mold as it's time for diversity to shine!

I don't usually review award shows but this years Oscars were amazing to watch. I love every year's Academy Award Shows but this was my favorite and the most decent it has been in a while

Joaquin Phoenix was the standout speech for me. He may come off as awkward but this was some real knowledge. Everyone needs to reconnect to the natural world. Also, Parasite was groundbreaking in this ceremony. The first international film to win best picture. CONGRATS TO THE ENTIRE CAST OF THAT FILM. Also I really enjoyed seeing Brad Pitt finally win an Oscar. Definitely deserved it.

Why would you have like 5+ 'musical performances' at an event for film? Sure some of the songs that were performed were in some of the movies, but you're taking up over 20minutes of the event with music? It just seems stupid at a film event.

The oscars this year didn't have a host... instead they used a bunch of different actors to 'host' the oscars... the HUGE problem with this is that instead of having a great host who's funny & witty 100% through the entire awards event, you're now depending on 30+ people to be funny & witty (which just doesn't happen EVER). So you've automatically left with a less-funny & less-witty awards event, because you chose to not have a single host. Some of the 'hosts' were funny, but about 80% of them weren't funny or witty at all. Almost all the lines that they read off from the teleprompter were so stiff and flatly delivered, that you just KNEW they were going to deliver the punch line next, and if you know when the punch line is going to come, then a joke isn't funny.

Overall, the awards had too little funny, was too scripted and had too many musical intermissions. It didn't have many ads though, so that's good.
