So, who watched the Oscars last night? I really enjoyed the telecast this year, much more than in years past. I'm sure that is in part due to Neil Patrick Harris, who I like as a host for award shows.
Some random thoughts-
- While I am not that surprised that Bradley Cooper did not win Best Actor for American Sniper (I thought it was a toss up between him and Redmayne, as he was equally impressive playing Hawking, at least to me), I am surprised at the lack of awards for the film overall.
- I enjoyed many of the speeches this year. While many of them shined a light on important topics, I found Brandon Moore's speech had the most impact, as it very well may have saved a life.
- Lady Gaga did a spectacular performance for Sound of Music and you can tell Julie Andrews thought it was wonderful as well!
[*} Did not notice any glaring fashion misses this year. Did anyone else?
