Academy Awards

The moment we have all been waiting for. THE OSCARS!!!!!!!! The time where the academy chooses the best videos and actors and awards them for their great performances. I was looking forward to this show to see the fashion, to see who and what will win, and to have an organic moment with my mother as we watched it together.

The fashion was great!!! I really liked Cameron Diaz Oscar de la Renta gown. She wore it so elegantly and it stood out from the rest in my opinion. Also Jennifer Lopez was stunning in her Armani Privé gown. She wore it so amazingly and I looked like it was made for her. Another woman i though looked fantastic was Helen Mirren, who was nominated for Best Actress for The Last Station, wearing Badgley Mischka. She wore the heck out of that dress, she looked elegant and chic, but the dress suited her age, yet it made her look younger. She looked great. I didn’t like Sandra Bullocks velvet Marchesa gown. I thought it didn’t suit her.

One of my favourite moments in the Oscars was the dancing. I was very inspirational; I wished I could dance like them. My little brother Jeremiah was so excited while watching that part and he started to dance like the boys. I was very scaring a cool at the same time to watch him do back flips and jump on his head.

I was disappointed that Gabourey Sidibe didn’t win for best actress for the movie precious. I was hoping that she would win, but she now can say she is an Oscar nominated actress. I was also proud that Mo’Nique won for best supporting role. I was proud that she didn’t run on stage and yelled like she does on her show. She was poise and made a great speech.

The Oscars in general is an amazing opportunity. It is like an Olympic gold medal for actors and other people in the entertainment industry. It motivates people to make movies that provoke thought and are heart wrenching. All of the movies that were nominated were movies that had to power to change people perspectives and to influence change. The academy chooses movies that cannot be compared to the average romantic comedy.

All in all my experience watching the Oscars was a good one. I was able to laugh, get excited to watch more movies, and I saw myself one day winning an Oscar. My last though is that all of the people that won an Oscar had a vision or dream, overcame obstacles, and it were very deserving!
