For the first time in history we forgot to watch the Academy Awards.
Or we didn’t care—same thing. Apparently we didn’t miss much: Everyone who was expected to win, won.
How to make the Oscars more thrilling (or just thrilling, period):
1. Don’t announce the nominees until the actual ceremony.
2. Make the nominees pick out their own clothes. Stylists take away all the fun and replace it with correctness. The trashy should be free to be trashy.
3. If Ben Affleck is a sure winner anyway, have Matt Damon present the trophy. (The surprise appearance of Michelle Obama as presenter confirmed that ZD30 had a zero chance of winning. Heyyy no separation of cinema and politics.)

4. Hire someone – ANYONE – who isn’t Seth MacFarlane to host. Talagang nilampaso sila ng Emmys this year, sorry. (I forgot to watch the Emmys so I waited for all the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler parts to be uploaded in YouTube.)

Kahit naman yung awards kung saan nilait-lait ni Ricky Gervais yung mga panauhin mas nakakatuwa kaysa sa Oscars.

Ok hindi man siya pumatok kagaya ni Tina at Amy, napapaovulate pa din niya ako tuwing ngumingiti siya :)
Seth Macfarlane anakan mo ako!!!

Inis-snob pa nila si Matthew McConaughey. So, Laos sila.

Si Steve Martin pa din ang best host ng Oscars para sakin. Di ko lang masyadong type nung sila na ni Alec Baldwin. And yeah, Ricky Gervais hosting the Globes!

amypond – Hindi ba Golden Globes yung hinost ni Tina Few & Amy Poehler?
Anyway, I disliked Seth’s hosting. Made me want to see James Franco host again.
My Oscars highlight – Mama Meryl presenting the Best Actor award. My goodness, she could have been nominated and won for that intro!!! Love you Meryl Streep!!!
P.S. Kakaiyak at nakakatawa yung acceptance speech ni Daniel Day-Lewis. Love ko siya kasi pinatawa niya si Mama Meryl afterwards haha.

Ah yes brewhuh23, my bad. Goes to show how I forgot to care about these things.
Just saw the summaries. I like Jennifer Lawrence but she sure is unlucky with her award dresses.

humble suggestions:
4) shirley bassey didn’t need to sing the whole goldfingah song. zeta jones’s lip-syncing also not needed. lip-syncing should be banned.
5) theodore shapiro was a riot. stewart gilligan griffin should have appeared as well.
6) they experimented with ‘edginess’ this year; make borat finally host the next year.
7) don’t try to aim for the middle ground too much. swing towards the younger audience wholeheartedly or remain ‘old-fashioned’
8) don’t rely too much on the host; load with good presenters like will ferrel and ben stiller. bakit wala sila ngayon?
