The Oscars

Eighty two years granting awards to those selected few who deserved them. Quite a milestone and it seems like it is going to go for another many years ahead as long as entertainment gets its niche, the academy will follow along with their scrutiny, taking 5K+ votes for all nominees on the table. This year the presentation followed no different order than a crispier stage display and definitely a new generation of artists. I was impressed on how seasoned stage performers got nervous and made some kind of discomfort display. Namely, Miley Cyrus which is hard to get as she totally rocks on any venue with her boots and a microphone. Man, what happened there? Perhaps the weight of the big leaguers altogether. Who knows. But the most intriguing moment was the anger management effort on behalf of George Clooney trying not to show his anger at Steve Martin, Alec Baldwing or both. It clearly seemed that he did not liked their routine at all. I acknowledge that some inside conundrum always takes place with no explanation at all to the public but it is precisely the public who judges their appearances and careers, especially during a few ceremonies a year. Was it a good move to face a 3/4 pose, biting his tongue in order no to yell out loud his inner wrath?
I guess not, just like some other may have not like his wisecracks on a public scene. Other than that, great movies, all-time winners, new talent and a first time awarded female Best Director Kathryn Bigelow for the Hurt Locker. Good job on the academy side and on Kathryn's, especially because the competition was tight. Good choices again, as they awarded an Oscar to Avatar's special effects but no to Cameron's Direction effort.
