the best parts of the oscars

i don't think i've ever missed the oscars. when i was little, i would fight with my parents to let me stay up until the end; back in the day, the 90's, the show would go till almost 1 am. i have vivid memories of watching billy crystal doing film parodies and whoopi flying over the audience. this year, i was extra excited for the oscars because steve martin and alec baldwin were going to be the hosts; they have great chemistry and i am a fan of the both of them. i used to watch father of the bride every single day when i was 4 years old. thankfully, i was not let down, they were hilarious. the show was a bit wonky, you could tell they were testing some ideas out. ideas that were borrowed from the miss america pageant and should never be repeated again. there was some awkward directing cuts and an overabundance of lamps. and now it seems that every stage crasher will be "pulling a kanye". all and all, the show was entertaining, even if the outcomes were predictable. here are some of my favorite moments. 

 

 oh i didn't notice you back there.

1. hooray for katherine bigelow becoming the first woman to win the oscar for best director! she truly deserved it. the hurt locker was one of the most intense/captivating movies i have seen in a while. i feel like taking it back to 1996 and saying: GIRL POWER! 

2. ok, this wasn't part of the actual oscars but...christoph waltz...i smell an emmy! i've watched this more than four times and i laugh every time. i don't know how funny it is to people who haven't seen the original. i am so glad to see he has a great sense of humor, i am definitely a big fan. another well-deserved oscar, his performance was mind-blowing. even my dad and brother thought he deserved it, and they are the harshest critics with the most awful taste in movies. 

oh gurllll!

3. oh samuel l. jackson. i still don't have the proper words to describe this picture. all i know is when i saw this face, i laughed for a good 5 minutes. but i can't make fun, i know that if i were there, i'd have a hard time controlling my stank face too.
