Watched the Oscars with my friends. Was so incredibly happy with the results. Everyone who deserved to win, did, IMO. Some of the races I didn't care about, like Best Actor, and others I did, like Best Actress. I'm happy to see a woman winning Best Director and even though I love the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack, Up's really was fantastic. I was glad that Avatar only won what it deserved to win, namely: technical merits. I was glad Up won as much as it did.
I need to see: The Hurt Locker, The Secret of Kells, A Serious Man, Crazy Heart, and The Last Station, all of which I was previously unaware of, plus Nine, Inglorius Bastards and The Blind Side, which I was aware of. All of them looked interesting.
Robert's presentation was the funniest, even with Ben Stiller being a Na'avi (sp?) and the Foreign Film winner had the funniest part in his speech. Something to the effect of "I'm glad the Academy didn't consider Na'avi to be a foreign language." I liked Elizabeth Bank's dress the best, and Rachel McAdams was STUNNING. (I feel bad that I didn't like Susan Downey's dress, but her make-up was beautiful as always.)
Then there was Jimmy Kimmel.
At first I was slightly bummed that RDJ was not a part of the Handsome Club, but during the spiel, I was pleased with how he addressed it. I pretty much enjoyed the hell out of his entire spot, but...
OMG TRAILER.
OMG. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I AM.
Slight nit-picks: Justin Hammer not being British, Don Cheadle, The Predicted but Now Realized Demise of Tony/Pepper.
HUMONGOUS SQUEES: TONNEEEYYY. "I want one." "No." IRON MAN AND WARMACHINE VERSUS A CIRCLE OF GUYS. Fucking Samuel L. Jackson. "Agreed." Tony SHOWING HER HOW TO USE HIS REPULSER. (I see baaaaaad things coming from that) and, of course, SUITCASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it May 7 yet?
