The 2013 Oscars

Truth be told, I hadn't thought much about what I was going to write my blog post on today, I even forgot it was due until just now. I was trying to figure out what to write it on when it hit me. I am currently sitting on my couch watching the Oscars, one of my favorite things to watch, so why not write about them.

The Oscars shine a brilliant light on all the fantastic films of the past year and gives recognition to everyone who helped make them. Seth Macfarlene, creator of Family Guy and director of Ted, is hosting this year's Oscars. He started out with lots of jokes and some slightly offensive songs. After that star after star came out to introduce nominee's and winners.

So far, they have given out only a couple awards. Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor. Brave won best feature length animated movie. Claudio Miranda, Life of Pi, won best cinematography. Jacqueline Durran, Anna Karenina, won best costume designer. Amour won best foreign language film. Paperman, by John Kahrs, won best short animated film and Inocente won best short documentary. The winner of best full length documentary went Searching for Sugarman.

In between a couple of nominations, there have been short skits and performances. To show great music from the past decade, Jennifer Hudson performed a song from Dream Girls, the Les Mis cast came out and sang snippets from their film, and All That Jazz was performed.

With much more excitement to come, the Oscars are just heating up and everyone should tune in!
