Oscar Rundown

Come on Oscars, really?

Fail.

I am a huge fan of Anne Hathaway, but this year's Oscars didn't work. At all. Poor Anne tried so hard, a little too hard at times and James Franco honestly looked high on weed the entire time. The one time I laughed at him was when he came out in drag and thats just cause he looked hilarious. The Academy Awards try to hard. This is the problem. They want so badly to "appeal" to the younger demographic not getting that the reason Bob Hope hosted for like 18 years was because he was FUNNY.

Guess what? Doesn't matter how old you are, if you are funny you appeal to EVERY demographic, thus boosting ratings.

They gave Billy Crystal a standing ovation for a reason. We were all secretly hoping he'd take over.

That and the hosts didn't really host as much as they just stood there and introduced people. Anne also changed her dress and hair a grand total of 8 times if I counted correctly. Seriously people? Is that honestly necessary? Everytime she came on stage her hair and outfit had changed. Just a tad extreme.
The presenting highlights were as follows....Jude Law and Robert Downing Jr. ...pretty hilarious...recorded Bob Hope, laugh out loud funny, Billy Crystal, Sandra Bullock is always charmingly witty, and I personally got a laugh out of Russell Brand and Dame Helen.

So I guess what I'm saying is, please, please bring Billy back, or ask Steve Martin...or Steve Carell or Zach Galaphenakis (I know I spelled that wrong, please don't make me look it up.) Someone funny, please? please? k. thanks.

On a different note, I was thrilled for both Natalie Portman and Colin Firth, they both really deserved the oscar they recieved.

Young Star Hailee Steinfeld shined in her dress and I want to steal it from her.

oh...and Christian Bale? Shave the obscene growth on your face. thanks.

the. end.
