I watched this purely on accident. I had no idea it was coming on, let alone who was nominated. All I did was invade my flat mate's room, uninvited and boom. Two someodd hours later, I was enlightened.
Here are my thoughts. In order:
1) Hugh Jackman. I suspect you to be the reincarnation of Jesus.
"I'm an Australian, who played an Australian, in a movie called... Australia." ::dies laughing::
I couldn't stop giggling throughout that whole damn routine, especially when the Craigslist dancers came prancing on to do an interpretative number about
The Reader because, lets face it. Who the hell
has seen that movie?
And yes. You are Wolverine. Rock on, dude.
2) Anne Hathaway. You
are Nixon. Marry me.
3)
Lawrence of Arabia ftmfw!
4) Mickey Roarke. Jesus Christ, man. I missed you. Welcome back.
5) Heath Ledger. Theres not a damn thing that can be said that hasn't been already about a bajillion times over. So, yeah. You owned that role, and we'll remember you for it.
6) Seth Rogan and James Franco. I love u guys so hard.
7) Dear Hosts of the Oscars,
I love you guys. Really.
BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAY A TITLE IN FRENCH, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD AND HOLY, PRONOUNCE THEM CORRECTLY.Sincerely,
Z
8)
Slumdog Millionaire. Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ. You clearly rock as a movie. I mean, Danny Boyle directed you, so you've got a leg up on the WORLD as far as I'm concerned, but still. It's easier to say what you
didn't win.
9)
Benjamin Button. Yeah. You, too. I almost feel like I should watch this film, but... Feels too
Notebook-esc. But anyway. Congrats.
10) Yay, Kate Winslet! You go, girl!
11)
MILK. I don't know why I haven't seen this film yet, and while I hear people complain about how Sean Penn wasn't genuine in his desires for equality, I'm still excited. I wish this had made best picture just for what it represents. Not only are the homophobes losing their grip on society, but there's a whole new generation coming who are not at all afraid to rub it in their faces. This is a terms-of-endearment story that I want to hear.
12) And finally,
O Saya. Kick-ass song.
In Conclusion:
I need to watch
Milk.ROCK ON, MOVIE PEOPLE. You keep making them and I'll keep snarking at them. <3
