Genuinely deserved or publicity stunt? Last night at the Oscars. Kathryn Bigelow took home the award for best director for a feature film (that being "The Hurt Locker"), pretty much curb stopping James Cameron (which, to be quite honest, was brilliant). Bigelow was only the fourth woman director to be ever been in that category, only the second american woman, and the very first woman to actually win it. Lee Daniels (Precious), would also have been the first African-American director to take an Oscar home had he won. Which raises a really interesting question.
Fightin' in a basement offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being, you're fightin' in a basement!
I love me some Oscars, and its one of my favorite nights of the year (yes - even better than the holidays), but this year the Academy Awards SUCKED. Last year so amazing, they had a cool opening act, a fantastic host, the pacing was great, the awards were beautifully presented by past winners and it was an entertaining night to remember. This year Neil Patrick Harris was surprisingly average, Baldwin and Martin were barely there (with very dry jokes), the awards were given in the most random and fucked up order I've ever seen and IT SUCKED!
I officially declare that this was probably the worst (and most predictable) Academy Awards in the last 10 years.
My post with the Academy predictions and my choices was screwy - so I decided to compile a list of my top 10 movies of the past year.Oh yea - spoiler alert - Avatar didn't make the list..... so suck it.
