The Academy Awards


Watching the Oscars is an amazing event! So many gifted people all in one room; actors, producers, writers, directors...

Each nominee truly deserved the credit they received, and every person/film not nominated from last year, still deserves a nod.

This event was great, emotional, and fun. Slumdog was so well received, and the children from that movie were glowing on the red carpet. It's so great that they get to be a part of it all! Again this art form has reached all the way around the world and brought so many different cultured people together.

I loved how they presented the awards for supporting actress/actor and best actress/actor awards with an ensemble of past winners in that category. Really great to see the company that these amazing performers were joining, very welcoming.

Hugh Jackman is doing a wonderful job! And the performance with him, Beyonce, and co. was awesome!

Of course, Heath Ledger's win for best supporting actor was very touching! It was amazing to see his family there for him, accepting the award.

Queen Latifa's performance was beautiful, and so moving! She is an amazing woman! I think it was a perfect way to honor those that were lost in the industry.

I finally saw The Reader yesterday, and I think Kate Winslet winning for best actress was fantastic. She was stunning, and did a spectacular job! A very brave role to take on. Everything she has done has been so great! Im so thrilled that she has finally received this honor!! haha and loved how she asked her father to whistle and he did! Also, her Meryl Streep comment was awesome, so true.

Sean Penn for best actor was awesome, great actor, great performace. All the men were deserving, but I think this win was special so he could deliver that speech. With what's going on in the world now, it was so fitting, I applaud him for what he said.

I loved Penelope Cruz's speech! It really goes with what I believe and what is inspiring this blog.
"I always felt that this ceremony was a moment of unity for the world, because art in any form is and has been and will always be our universal language"
