81st Academy Awards

The sink has been fixed, the toilet seat has been replaced and the dinner from last night has been eaten for a second time. Now, we’re wathcing the Oscars as I work on a weasel. Here are some random thoughts as we watch:

  • Hugh Jackman did an amazing job with the opening. He sings, he dances and he plays Wolverine…the nerd in me is in conflict, I need alcohol!
  • The Chinese dude wins for best thank you speech (for short animated film). Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
  • We’re making the list of movies we need to see that are up for nominations.
  • The musical number rocked it like it was 1929! Beyonce and Hugh Jackman were amazing.
  • Heath won, he deserved the award and he is missed. This reminds us to do your best and to create a legacy you would be proud of.
  • Most creative speech goes to the Man on Wire guys. I’ve never seen an Oscar balanced on someone’s chin.
  • Hello Academy, show your bias against super hero movies, BASTARDS! Iron Man or Batman should have won for effects!
  • We’re disappointed that Mickey Rourke didn’t win the Oscar. He has had a long road back from Hell, I’m glad he came back from the edge.
  • I would have rather seen Frost/Nixon win, even if it was along shot.
