The Oscars

Reader, we apologize for the delay in posting our reactions to The Oscars.  It seems life does not care when the biggest awards show is.  It will get crazy at anytime.  However, we're here now.

There were not many surprises this year, but, never fear, we still have our opinions on how things went down.

FAVORITE MOMENTS

  1. So. Much. Singing!!!  Joseph Gordin-Levitt and Daniel Radcliff!  Chicago!  Dreamgirls!  Les Mis!    We're suckers for musicals, so the theme of the night was perfect for us.
  2. Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep on the same stage.  They are legends.
  3. Michelle Obama.  Move over Hollywood, the First Lady served up a huge portion of class and elegance.
  4. Jennifer Lawrence:  Not necessarily her win, but her overall demeanor before, during and after the ceremony.  Prepare yourself, Jennifer.  You're America's Sweetheart now.
  5. Sock Puppets....Just watch this:        


TOP DISAPPOINTMENTS
  1. Argo makes us go "ugh."  So, you can imagine how we feel about this year's big winner.
  2. Tommy Lee Jones not winning Best Supporting Actor.
  3. Steven Spielberg going home empty handed.
  4. Tony Kushner not winning for Best Adapted Screenplay
