My Thoughts on the 2010 Oscars

Well last night's Oscars was interesting, and when I mean interesting I really mean just a simple good gone bad. Everything was going great at first with a lot of surprise wins which made me think that The Social Network had a massive chance at winning Best Picture, but all that was dumped completely down the drain when Tom Hooper won Best Director. I said to myself "and it's all down from here", and it was. There where three awards left to give and they were just too obvious that I wish I had turned off the TV sooner. When The King's Speech did win Best Picture, I went ahead and turned off the TV saying what a letdown. You go from Inception winning Best Cinematography to Hooper winning Best Director, that's no good. I will say that at least the show was good itself, the opening spoof of Inception was one of the best Oscar starts among any ceremony, and James Franco and Anne Hathaway I thought did a terrific job (I don't know why so many people on the web have been saying they sucked). Had great chemistry among them and their jokes were hilarious, I will admit Franco did seem a little off the scale, but knowing he was also an Oscar nominee for Best Actor I could understand there was more to think about besides his act. Anne Hathaway of course always impresses me with everything she does so of course she did great. Now I plan to post another Oscar related opinion revealing my beliefs on each win from every category (except the shorts). I'm not gonna lie, a few insults will be thrown at certain movies and celebrities *cough Tom Hooper* but also a few congrats to give out as well. Should be interesting.
