The 83rd Annual Academy Awards (2011 TV Special)
My Awards For The 83rd Academy Awards !
28 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
_The Worst: (James Franco). Following the news in detail: OH MY GOD! He's mightily a bore. Bad choice. Got nothing to do with comedy. The worst sidekick. His delivering is shockingly weak. And what's wrong with his eyesight? He was reading everything so hardly from very faraway boards I suppose! Then, how merciful that the funny opening speech didn't go longer! With nervous smile that was about tearing her face, the cute (Anne Hathaway) could keep it away from being a complete disaster. Fair question; why they didn't hire (Kevin Spacey) instead, he could have done it brilliantly and all by himself!

The Most Scary: Sure while (Kirk Douglas) was presenting the supporting actress award. Firstly, he played his self as the old and senile (Kirk Douglas); that scared me a bit (since he might take it to the next level and die!). He went on and on with endless chatter, I though he wasn't playing a character there. Then I came to a point where I thought that some of the nominee actresses would have shot him just to stop the unbroken "You Know.." routine. Thank God it went well eventually!

_The Most False: The spontaneous way the winner of the best supporting actress (Melissa Leo) said the F word in her speech!

_The Most Rude: The way the music breaks into the winners' speeches, sorry.. the no famous winners' speeches! It doesn't need concentration to notice that the music editors have no patience for hearing poor people like the winners of the best (Costume Design, Documentary Feature, Sound Mixing), while having all the time in the world for celebrities like (Christian Bale), (Natalie Portman), and (Colin Firth) narrating their life stories and thanking the movie industry's men and women, rather the American citizens, ONE BY ONE. This treatment is rude from the Academy's side, as if those whoever work behind the camera aren't stars, even though won the Oscar!

_The Most Horrible: (Cate Blanchett)'s Dress. It looked exactly like a very big bib with various frozen vomit around it.. Yuck! And she said that the shots from (The Wolfman) are gross?! Honey, look at your dress first, then dare to speak!

_The Most Silly: (Franco) in a (Marilyn Monroe)'s dress. Unpredictable? Yes. Funny? NOOO! Emetic? For Sure!

_The Most Weird: Why, during the whole time, director (David Fincher) doesn't laugh, smile, or react to anything around him?! I think 1) He was expecting a phone call from someone who kidnapped all of his family. 2) He was hypnotized. 3) That's not (David Fincher), that's a statue of him!

_The Most Unnecessary: The stage's sudden Chinese set near the end?? That was bizarre. It isn't any way related to any of the 10 nominated movies for the best picture!!

_The Most Surprising: When I got to hear (Gwyneth Paltrow) singing the nominated song. WAW. The girl has a lovely voice and performance!

_The Best: OK, the worst about the Oscars is being usual and un-wacky. Many previous Oscars were. But, this time, it was almost saved by creative moments like: The intro with the 2 hosts leaping from a nominated movie to another; simple yet perfect. Making funny songs from ordinary dialogues. The (Bob Hope) part; being a homage to him, the old Oscars and TV, a nostalgic moment, a smart way to present even new stars; how they got the late Hope to say the names of (Jude Law) and (Robert Downey Jr.) I don't really know! The somehow different finale with kids singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow"; it's where the Oscars met The Oprah Winfrey Show productively. And finally, (Steven Spielberg)'s unique word, which I myself had said for countless times before, about how the Oscar doesn't immortalize a movie. It's just an award of some people that has no business depriving any movie of being a classic. Therefore, there are no "losers" with the bad sense of the term.

In conclusion: Better than the last year's Oscars, despite (James Franco). That dude made me finally discover that (Steve Martin) had potential as a host!
