I really like how they revamp the show where instead of having a comedian as the host, they have choosen Hugh Jackman. So no more wisecrack, political or racist jokes instead we have a decent musical opening. Okay, I am a big fan of Hugh Jackman since he played that australian move "Paperpack Romance" and then he played as Wolverine and several romance movies with stars such as Ashley Judd and Meg Ryan. He is a hottie and so charming and he can actually sing...oh well lets no forget he does broadway shows and did host the opening for the Tony Award. The opening by Hugh Jackman was great, and the icing of the cake was the duo with Anna Hathaway. Those who miss the opening, here is a youtube video clip of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Vhx0UEtW8
Below are special moments of the oscars:
- Tina Fey and Steve Martin really rock together when they presented the award for the scripwriting. They were both so funny especially when Steve Martin say to her "Do not fall in love with me"
- Robert Pattinson presented the romance montage for 2008. So cute!!..and he grew back his hair
- I thought the best acceptance speech was from A.R. Rahman who won the best muscial score and song for Slumdog Millionaire..."I choose love instead of hate"
- Danial Craig look so dashing in his tux.
- The muscial performance by A.R. Rahman and John Legend was good and different. Its looks like an explosion of Indian culture performance on the stage
- Slumdog Millionaire won for best picture! Does who have not seen the show...watch it!
Awkward moments of the oscar
- Yes..everyone is talking about it. The Jennifer Anniston and Brangelina showdown. Jennifer and Jack Black presented for best animation and the camera keep flicking to the Brangelina couple. The past is the past...both of them are happy with their own partners. However, I do notice that Jennifer was a bit awkward on the stage
- Zac Efron and Vannessa Hudgens looks a bit out of place during the musical stint with Beyonce and Hugh Jackman. I do love them...but it just seems awkward and I really do not like Zac Effron slick hairstyle
- I thought 5 previous winners to present an award was tad bit too much and time consuming
- Ben Stiller trying to impersonate Joaquin Pheonix. Well, it was funny but I thought it was a bit insensitve and it kind of pull the attention away from the award that they are presenting.
Furthermore, I would also like to mention about the fashion (girls love to talk about this..hehe)I thought the best dress should go to Anna Hathaway and the worst dress goes to Jessica Biel (so disappointed coz she has such a nice body but opt to wear a towel bow type dress)
So overall I thought the oscar was so much better than last year but still has it flaws. Thank goodness Hugh Jackman is there to save the show!
