2010 Oscars

I have been waiting for Oscar night to arrive ever since I heard the big news that STEVE MARTIN would be hosting with Alec Baldwin! I have always loved Steve Martin. When I was young, I loved the movies "Father of the Bride" and "Father of the Bride part II". Also, however inappropriate, "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" was another favorite since I was young. I love how he is not crude, not disgusting, but classically, honestly funny.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin did a wonderful job of keeping the crowd laughing and entertained. I thought that the joke between them and George Clooney was hysterical. I was laughing out loud!

I was happy to see that Sandra Bullock was the winner of Best Actress in a Lead Role, since she was won a "Razzie" for worst actress. That had to hurt her ego a bit, but she really was 100% believable as a deep southern woman in "The Blind Side," even though she is Canadian! You know she's got to be good to pull that off as well as she did!

Now, I am a very sensitive person. When I saw "Precious," I cried so hard that I nearly made myself sick. What that poor girl went through was unimaginable. The book, "Push" was written by Sapphire, who actually endured all of this and "Precious" is Sapphire herself. I thought that the Best Adapted Screenplay was well deserved. Mo' Nique was also well deserving of Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Although I just hated her in the movie, she played an abusive, mean, angry, but incredibly fragile woman to a tee. She was such a complex character, and Mo' Nique made her so real. It breaks my heart to know that people have lives like the one they lived.

I need to see: Inglorious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, Crazy Heart, and Avatar still! Then I will be fully up to date and can make judgments on the other winnings!
