After The Oscars

               Well the Oscars have been handed out and I have and opinion to Share! Sorry that it came late, I had to calm down first and study for an exam!


Best Original Screen Play
Prediction: Her
Award To: I called it! This was a gripping and provoked tale of love and technology. Bravo to Spike Jonez!

Best Adapted Screen Play
Predication: The Book Thief/ 12 Years a Slave
Award To:  Woot! 2 for 2, 12 Years a Slave was excellent and really did articulate the feelings and situation for Solomon Northup and Patty.

Visual Effects
Prediction: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
Award To: I will give tis to Gravity for it was excellent visually. I won't doubt it.

Production Design
Predication: Book Thief/The Great Gatsby
Award To: Yay Great Gatsby! The sets were breath taking perfectly capturing flapper era New York while still holding the integrity of the novel. With a spin from the director!

Best Original Song
Predication: Probably to, "Let It Go", but "Ordinary Love" Was good.
Award To: Let it Go? What a surprise! The performance sounded really nasally, was that just me?

Best Original Score
Predication: The Book Thief
Award To: GOD DANG IT GRAVITY!!!! The Book Thief was much more deserving of this award, especially since it was there only nomination. Another example why there should be a four award limit per motion picture.


Makeup and Hairstyling
Prediction: Desolation of Smaug or Great Gatsby, but Lone Ranger
Award To: Dallas Buyers Club, I forgot that it was even nominated...Its deserving. Though Great Gatsby did receive an award for costume design so yay!

Animated Feature Film
Predication: As The Wind Rises
Award To: I am in no way surprised, but still upset! Yes, I know, that Frozen was well done. But honestly aside from a rather predictable story there was no lovable characters, or really catchy music to truly support this film. It was well done, but it strongly resembled Tangled and wasn't as spectacular as The Wind Rises. Wind Rises does have its faults, but was suburb either way, but I guess that bias for you.

Best Supporting Actress
Predication: Jennifer Lawrence
Award To: Lupita Nyong'o , the woman who breathed life into Patty and I'm surprised that I didn't think of hr when I made my predictions. Her acceptance speech was very humble to!

Best Supporting Actor
Prediction: Michael Fassbender
Award To:  Jared Leto, I really wish that I had seen Dallas Buyers Club, but no one would take me! Hopefully I can see it soon.

Best Actress
Prediction: Not Sandra Bullock
Award To: Cate Blanchette, yay not Sandra Bullock. I didn't see Blue Jasmine so I don't know how her performance was, but my Mom is familiar with her and said that she is very talented.

Best Actor
Predication:  Leonardo DiCaprio/Matthew McConaughey
Award To: Mathew McConaghey, first of all I loved his acceptance speech. He really deserved this award. I know that DiCaprio must be upset, but he should have gotten the award for best supporting in The Great Gatsby, just saying.


Best Picture
Prediction: The Butler/ American Hustle/12 Years a Slave
Award To: 12 Years a Slave, I'm glad that it went to this picture. It was well done and absolutely phenomenal. And thank the academy it didn't go to Gravity!

         Yay! Its over the ceremony was one million times better than last year and Ellen Degenerous was hilarious the entire time, glad that she hosted. She was funny and fresh, drawing in a younger viewing audience. Also it made the show seem more relaxed then it has, ordering pizza and breaking twitter, thats a party for you!
