The long Oscar night

Once again I kept my tradition: watch the Oscar ceremony live, sleep 2 hours and then go to work! eheh
After recovering from that "very difficult" experience, I'm back to post my last thoughts regarding the awards.

Some of my previous expectations were kept, but I believe there were a couple of surprises.

Avatar - a disappointment because it didn't get all the technical awards. And it didn't deserve the award Best Picture.

Inglorious Basterds - you have to watch the movie and enjoy the Nazi official played by Christoph Waltz.

The Princess and The Frog - it didn't get any Oscar but it was the BEST animation movie of the year. Period. Traditional handdrawn animation, with great jazz (!) songs and a very funny story.
"Up" is more of the same: computers, 3D and Pixar!

Sandra Bullock - for me it was the biggest surprise. I haven't watched the movie yet, but to get the Oscar for her first nomination is really a feature! Specially after winning the Razzie award for Worst Actress for the movie "All About Steve"! eheh

Nine - I watched this movie just before the Oscars and I regret it. It's a bad musical movie! Too many songs and no story! A waste of a great casting! Watching the movie is like watching the Broadway show: a camera filming a stage! "Moulin Rouge" is still the number one musical movie! Because we can can can

The ceremony was good, nothing extraordinary, without any special moments. The hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were great. I hope they stay for next year.
Once again Ben Stiller managed to surprise and present himself... differently. ;-)

Well, now is time to watch more movies and to make a diet plan after a long night of coffee and junk food! eheh
