Until next year...

The day I've been waiting for all year has come and gone. Oscar day! WOOOOOO! Yesterday, I grabbed my completed Oscar ballot and headed to my sister's in North Van. The whole ceremony did me right people. I didn't find any of it boring. The time flew by! I don't think my sister and Fraser felt the same and anytime they tried to relieve their boredom by talking, I would shush them and shoot them a death glare.

First off, let's talk dresses. Overall it was a snooze fest. I know you were all shocked when Angelina Jolie showed up in a basic black dress. It's just not like her to wear something so lackluster. Obviously, I kid. I was really hoping she was going to switch things up a bit and wear some colour. No dice. Well, at least she wore green accessories!

Reese Witherspoon looked like a piece of shit. That's all I need to say about that.

Kate Winslet did nothing for me either. Her hair looked all weird and helmut-y and I thought her dress was super ugly. Other dresses I didn't care for were Beyonce's and Jessica Biel's.

The only person I saw and gasped at was Freida Pinto. What a beauty! And that blue dress! Wow. She was perfection.

Now, I know I shouldn't admit this. Even as I type this I'm feeling some regret but I can't help how I feel. I know that every fiber of my being should have rejected this but.... I LOVED MILEY CYRUS'S DRESS! I know, I know. It was gross. It looked like she was wearing diamond flower petals but somehow it totally worked for me.

And lastly, although she was wearing another weird sack like outfit, Tilda Swinton was a stunner. From the neck up anyways. I am mesmerized by her alien face.

As for the actual awards show, Hugh Jackman kinda made me barf a little bit in my mouth but that's fine. I liked the new look of the Oscars. And I absolutely loved how they presented the acting awards by having other actors up their paying homage to the nominees.

This is where I need to rub into those of you that took part in any Oscar pools that I got 20 out of 24. I regret the fact that I only took part in 1 because had I jumped into more I would have made a killing!

The first award handed out went to Penelope Cruz and oh how I cried through her acceptance speech. You're so right Penelope, Woody does write excellent roles for women!

When Kate Winslet won, I loved how good a job Anne Hathaway did of looking really, really excited for her.

When Dustin Lance Black gave his acceptance speech for winning Best Original Screenplay for Milk, I also sobbed. I don't know what it is with awards shows but I cry like a baby throughout them. And then Heath Ledger's stupid family had to be there to accept his award I weeped and weeped into my snotty, ratted up piece of tissue.

And then, before I knew it, it was all over!

I'm glad that Sean Penn did indeed take home the award even though I know most people expected Mickey Rourke too. He really deserved it. I'm sure it would have been entertaining though had Rourke won. Do yourself a favour if you haven't already seen this and look up Mickey Rourke's acceptance speech from the Indie Spirit Awards from Saturday night. It's genius.
