How about those Tony Awards!!
Oh wait… those were the Oscars? I’m sorry. The fact that Fing Hugh Jackman couldn’t stop dancing, singing, and gaying it up confused me. Am I crazy or were those the weirdest Oscars ever? It mostly felt like Hugh Jackman was torturing us all because Australia didn’t get any nominations.
Aside from the ridiculous amount of pointless singing causing the show to run THIRTY MINUTES over, my favorite moment was when the actors all jerked each other off during the best acting categories. Where were the freaking clips? Apparently I’m just supposed to trust Cuba Gooding’s judgement. That’s right, trust the guy who did “Snow Dogs”. What the hell happened?
There were of course redeemable moments in the evening such as the Ledger family causing every person in the audience to weep, Sean Penn admitting how hard he makes it to like him, and Ben Stiller mocking Joaquin Phoenix.
The best moment however, and the only moment that should have been sung, was the best song category. I LOOOOVED how they combined “Jai Ho” from Slum Dog with “Down to Earth” from WALL-E. It was really beautiful and exciting. Plus “Jai Ho” should have been played every time anyone came up to accept an award. It would have gotten everyone really pumped up! Instead they played this lame little song that my brother realized sounded a lot like “Belle,” the opening song from Beauty and the Beast.
They said this was a “re-imagining” of the Oscars. You know what I say? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Otherwise you’ll end up with Beyonce and the cast of High School Musical …
