Oscar Moments

Lately I’ve been following the oscar news.

“Oh, man, did you see that moment when that guy did that thing? Don’t worry, we did. Read on and get the full story of Oscar’s best, worst and otherest.

Best Performance: Even with the slightly forced “recession Oscars” conceit, host Hugh Jackman delivered a completely winning song and dance to open the show that totally made us forget they didn’t hire a comedian. Showing off both talent and a sly sense of humor, Jackman nailed it.” Link

NY Times

“SWEATY hands will finally clutch their Oscars on Sunday night, putting an end to a Hollywood awards season that may go down as one of the most downbeat in memory.

Movers and shakers in the film industry don’t like to grumble openly about the Oscars. After all, nobody wants to be caught talking down a ritual that has been very good, for a very long time, to a very large number of people in the glamour business.” Link

“I guess reinventing the Oscars is harder than it looks.

The academy gave the gig this year to producers Larry Mark and Bill Condon, two classy industry veterans who’ve been involved with all sorts of admirable films over the years. But after watching this year’s Hugh Jackman-hosted awards, which were undermined by a pair of lackluster Jackman musical numbers, nearly three hours of earnestly dull, emotion-free acceptance speeches (of course excepting Kate Winslet, who’s apparently been overflowing with emotion for the entire awards season) and hardly any surprises, I’m beginning to believe that saving the Oscars is a job for Iron Man or Hancock, a kick-ass superhero with the kind of unassailable powers that would allow them to radically overhaul what has become the year’s stodgiest awardsfest.” Link
