So, the
85th Academy Awards are in the books and there are a couple of
things worth mentioning. People have been saying Seth MacFarlane was
sexist or racist, etc. – what do you expect?
Have you seen Family Guy or Ted?
Did he have a brain transplant when he got the job? Frankly, it could have been much worse. I think his worst moments were the Shatner
from the future malarkey and introducing Meryl Streep with “This person needs
no introduction” and walking offstage.
Hack Lines 101.
Yay for Quentin Taratino and Christoph Waltz! Django Unchained is a lesser QT movie, but you can’t deny its originality.
How can
you say The Avengers are ‘all in one
place’ when two are glaringly missing?
ScarJo and Thor’s absence were severely obvious. Plus, I would not have minded a surprise visit
from Agent Coulson or Joss Whedon.
I feel
the biggest controversy of the night occurred during the Death Montage and the absence of
several people. I have no problem with
giving non-actors credit but don’t leave out famous people due to
politics. Andy Griffith, Alex Karras and
Richard Dawson were all missing, yet they have profiles on the Academy
website. Bullshit! They were prominent figures and shouldn’t be
disregarded due to time or whatever the constraints are. How about have one less painful, awkward
banter between presenters? I think Mongo
deserves at least that. Then, we could all be spared Kristin Stewart’s
drugged-fueled dialogue.
We now have more proof that George Clooney is the greatest person ever. He let Grant Heslov (who needs a nap!) and
Ben Affleck use the mike time while he watched with his crazy beard. You'll be back there, George.
Anne Hathaway needs to take some likeability and genuineness lessons from Jennifer Lawrence.
