So although the Oscars were UBER LONG this year, and a little scatter-brained, and they forgot to honor Farrah Fawcett in the tribute, and that Miley Cyrus was there...I really enjoyed the broadcast. I was finding that in almost all of the main categories, I didn't have an absolute favorite and that I was going to be happy almost any way the results went. All in all, 2009 was an EXCELLENT year in cinema and film acting. Although people may disagree, there were several excellent films made last year and so many talented actors gave outstanding performances that needed to be honored with a nomination! History was also made with Kathryn Bigelow winning Best Director--she gave all of us female Directors inspiration. (And it was a bonus prize that she beat out her arrogant ex-husband James Cameron's kajillion dollar movie [with a less-than-original screenplay] in Best Director and Best Picture! You go girl!) Also, I was extremely proud of Sandra Bullock (alway thought she was an underrated actress!) and Jeff Bridges, Mo'Nique and Christoph Waltz. I really feel as though everyone who won an award was quite deserving!
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that the films and performances from all these movies are quite inspiring to aspiring actors, like myself. All the actors nominated gave such moving performances, it makes me want to perfect my craft and makes me proud to consider myself an actor. Although even my roommates have differing opinions about the Oscars, I found them to be quite enjoyable!
I feel like that post is a little scatter-brained, just like the awards show, but I'll just go with the excuse of "that's fitting since we just watched the Oscars". ;)
Summation: I love acting and I love actors and I love good actors and good movies! i want to do that for people! :)
Oh yeah, and here's part of Sandra's fantastic acceptance speech! I wish the part about her mother was included in it, because it made me tear up, but this part was just so great and shows how amazing, humble and deserving she is!
