Oscars 2011; Review

It wasn’t a bad Oscars but it certainly was the worst and most disappointing and might I add dullest Academy award show ever.
I really do not have a problem with the awards/recipients in itself, but it’s a show innit? It would have made absolutely no difference if the award recipients were announced online and we all moved on. The idea behind a "show" is to keep whomever watching entertained right? Im guessing the shows writers/ producers had a different definition of the work "show"
The red carpet invent was not worth watching to be honest. In my own opinion I think social networking is partly to blame for this. What’s exciting about watching stars on the red carpet and what they have on when I probably saw a picture on twitter already? Just saying.
Anne Hathaway and James Franco, who were the hosts, were such a pain to watch. James looked so distant and uninterested and the drag bit was not funny at all. Did I miss the meeting where it was agreed that men dressing as women would be considered funny? (Tyler Perry please take note) As usual, Anne Hathaway tried to cram as many dresses as she could into the show but it still didn’t hide the fact that she was probably high off of something.
The most entertaining part of the night overall was Kirk Douglas’ (Michael Douglas’ dad) brief moments on stage. It was very original and really funny. He should have been the host if you ask me. Even though he looked like he was about to kick the bucket right there on stage.
 Christian bale and his hobo beard forgot his wife’s name on stage. I’m taking bets on how long they would last.
I would never understand why Halle berry even came on stage to do anything. If I could guess I think it was just a way to keep colored folk calm due to the fact that there were barely any blacks nominated for anything. Makes you wonder though; if black people keep doing Madea, Big mamma and shenene/Wanda type movies we might be out of the Oscars for a good minute. Just saying.
Somehow it feels like that’s all I can remember from the Oscars. Oh wait Sharon stone looked like cruella from 101 Dalmatians. Was that a dead bird on her chest?
Scarlet Johanssen would look good in a garbage bag so nothing new there, while Madonna at the after party, looked like she was about to shoot a fish net commercial.
Natalie Portman won best actress for black swan, Colin firth won best actor for the king’s speech.
Seriously don’t bother watching the re runs not unless you are an insomniac , trust me you would definitely fall asleep.

  1. Overall, the evening had an oddly business-like feel, a mind-numbing evenness that was exacerbated by the relentless predictability of the winners. I was pretty disappointed with the show itself. Franco looked like he was made out of wood for most of the show; no facial expressions, no body movements, no emotion. Hathaway was OK, but she definitely needed some help.

    WORST OSCARCAST EVER!!!
