And the Oscar Goes to...

I think they should give Oscars to those who present, perform, and create what is the event of the Academy Awards, because the show can either be extremely boring or very entertaining and it depends on the people taking part in it. This years show was the latter, which in case you forgot... means it was entertaining. Anne Hathaway and James Franco did an amazing job hosting, which is the first and overall main thing that kept the show interesting,

but my absolute favorite part of the show was this auto-tuned mashup someone created to make up for the lack of "musicals" offered this year.

My dad and I laughed hysterically at this...and if you don't find it funny, then we can't be friends anymore. Sorry!

So this is at least the third consecutive awards show I've watched now, if not more. In 2009 I watched the show at school with my roommates. We were all very excited for that show because one of our many heroes, Hugh Jackman was hosting. Last year Evan and I watched the show together, and who better to watch it with than a fellow movie lover like Evan. This year it was just my dad and I, and occasionally my mom.

I was going to post my second favorite part of the show, but a youtube video hasn't been posted for it yet so I can't. But once I find one then I will offer an update. Let's just say it has to do with Anne Hathaway singing a song about Hugh Jackman, which if you watched 2009s show, you would know that that means something :)

Sidenote

Something I learned this year: The indication that you have a good actor on your hands is when you forget where the person is from because they so easily slip in to different accents. Example. Christian Bale. Recently I've seen him mostly in American films, meaning films in which he speaks American English, but when he got up to offer his acceptance speech for The Fighter he was speaking with a British accent and using British slang. I asked my dad why the heck he was speaking like an Englishman and then he reminded me that he's from England. I argued with him forever until he finally looked it up. During that process I started to second guess myself as it slowly started to register that he was in fact from England, so when my dad mentioned that he was right and I was wrong, I wasn't too surprised. Although in all actuality we were both wrong seeing as he's actually from Wales, but I was more wrong than he was. Another example of such a person, not seen at the awards show, but such a person nonetheless, is Johnny Depp. I always thought he was British when in fact he's from Kentucky. Quite a big difference there.
