Hello all,
WARNING:
If you haven't watched the Oscars and are planning to, don't read this. Its sort of a spoiler, but its a show and it happened tonight , and I want to talk about the cool things I liked from it.
Tonight I watched the Oscars, well most of it. From the last Oscar post to this post, there have been some very cool things that happened tonight.
First off, Sacha Baron Cohen although I don't find your completely, ridiculous, over-the-top, movies that you come out with every couple of years that funny. I do have to say, that you spilling "ashes" on Ryan Seacrest, was awesome. Not only because celebrities are vain, and you know he was completely bothered by that, but also because Ryan Seacrest has to be the most powerful man in Hollywood. The man has his fingers in so many money-making pots it's not even funny. Not to mention he is like 5'4''. That is power, apparently in Hollywood you don't need to be tall.
Secondly, Brett McKenzie won the award for best original song for his work in the movie The Muppets. Kudos to him, and all Flight of the Conchords fans. I bet no one would have ever thought that he would win an Oscar. Me included.
Tonight, The Descendants won for "Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay." When this happened, it was pretty cool. I liked this movie, the Artist didn't win because well dialogue wasn't big in it, and its nice to see one movie not win everything. Even though one sort of did.
The three people that won this award were the Director: Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon, and Jim Fash. Now, Alexander Payne has some solid movie credits on his resume, About Schmidt, Sideways, Election, just to name a few. For him to win makes sense. The other two on the other hand, are somewhat of wild, non-conventional winners. Nat Faxon plays the ugly, douchey dude in many movies including Broken Lizards: Club Dread, Orange County, Bad Teacher, Zoo Keeper, and Beerfest. If any of you would have foreseen an Oscar win for this guy, I would've thought you were bat-shit crazy. But he killed it, and he won, and that is truly frickin' awesome.
The second guy to win, is Jim Fash. Who is insanely popular amongst Community fans (Which is coming back in March!). He is the dean, and an extremely hilarious yet creepy individual in the show. Once again not a conventional winner by Hollywood standards. After Angelina Jolie came out, and posed in what has to be the most obnoxious pose known to man. It was like when a woman is past her prime, but can't seem to let go of the past so tries to overcompensate by highlighting her best features with a strikingly-pathetic pose (Not to say Angelina Jolie isn't still good-looking. She's definitely still got it). I really applauded the moment when Jim Fash proceeded to mock her by striking the same pose, while she was still on the stage, watching him win an Oscar. Nothing better than A-Listers getting shit on.
The amount of Awesomness that happened this weekend can't be handled by anyone. Those not-as-well known actors got theirs tonight, and I couldn't be happier about it.
There were obviously some big names that won, and that's awesome too. But I'm chalking up this Oscars night as a win for the little guy, regardless if people don't think Billy Crystal is relevant, he did a good job.
By the way for those of you who know, I won Friday night. My night was full of winning, the only thing I remember all night was winning. That's how I'm telling that story...but really a sincere apology to the Haus and thank you for putting up with me. ;o)
Night, Nite, Knight,
Jarrad
