The Oscars were great!

The Oscars were wonderful this year! I am actually happy with all of the winners!

Visually, the actors in their designer outfits and the formal nature of the ceremony portrays the glamor and glorifies the film industry as a serious and honorable one. It's the big event of the year for those involved in the industry, and it's the time of the year when the best are honored and the privileged former nominees and winners are present. The video montages and the host are to entertain and the high tech fancy stage decorations are to make everything aesthetically pleasing for the viewer, but the night is all about the winners; the actors, writers, directors, film makers, cinematographers, composers and everyone else that makes movies possible; everyone who makes movies extraordinary. The night is in honor of the greats who are voted the best in their field and get their few minuets of honored and coveted time behind that podium to thank whoever they want and bask in their glory. When looking back on award ceremonies, the memory in the forefront of people's minds is not how great the stage looked or the award presenters but the award winners, what they are wearing, and what they had to say. The Oscars, and all award shows, are meant to entertain the viewer who is watching for hours while more importantly honoring the honorees and making the night about them and their victory. Everyone likes to see people's reactions when they win big!

Fuck yeah Daniel Day-Lewis and Coen brothers!!!
