The long awaited Oscars aired last night and the results were a bit surprising! Avatar didn’t take best picture like most people would expect. A dark horse film “The Hurt Locker” took most of the night’s top honors including Best Director, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound mixing, and the night’s ultimate top honor for Best Picture. I will catching this film later on this week and will let you know if I feel the awards were justified! The highlight of my night was seeing Sandra Bullock win the female top honor for Best Actress in a Leading Role. It’s been a long time coming for her and she deserved that moment! Jeff Bridges definitely deserved Actor of the year with his performance in Crazy Heart- not only was his acting phenomenal but his vocal ability as a country artist was amazing! Chistoph Waltz took the award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his role in Inglorious Bastards. That movie would definitely not have been the same without him. The character was so well crafted that I felt like I was looking at a real Nazi general instead of an actor. The spectrum of the Oscar Winners this year was limited to a few movies in general: The Hurt Locker, Avatar, and Up took several awards while a couple others only took one. The overall feeling I got from the people who took home the top honors were actors who played serious, somewhat controversial roles and really became that character in a strong, powerful way. I’m already looking forward to see who will show up on the ballot for next year’s Oscars!
