I would have liked to see Selma get more love and Wes Anderson is a genius but I guess too weird for Hollywood. What did you think of Lupita Nyong'o's dress sunbunny?drnanamomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667806039402426676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-18271519134890048812015-02-23T16:08:42.199-05:002015-02-23T16:08:42.199-05:00Lady Gaga rocked it. She is no Julie Andrews, but ...Lady Gaga rocked it. She is no Julie Andrews, but it was an amazing performance. The Sound of Music is my favorite movie ever, and I got goosebumps watching Gaga sing Climb Every Mountain. Then again, I always get goosebumps listening Climb Every Mountain.<br /><br />Go Patricia Arquette! I don’t know what I liked more, her speech or Meryl Streep’s enthusiastic reaction.<br /><br />Go Julianne Moore. And finally! Her award was waaaay overdue.<br /><br />Now onto NPH. He’s a great actor, a great comedian and a great host. But I’m not his fan. He played a ridiculously misogynist character on How I Met Your Mother and loved playing him. Last night he picked Octavia Spencer as the help. I was really shocked when that happened (but now I wonder why I was shocked. Racism is everywhere). If his intention was to make a joke/comment on how Hollywood treats black people, he failed big time. And not only was his joke racist, it was also fat shaming. Really, NPH? He is a gay man, he suffers a direct oppression from society, so he should not be helping other kinds of oppression. Get your act together, dude.<br /><br />But let’s not end this on a sour note. There was one gay man who did it right: the writer of The Imitation Game. What a lovely speech. Keep it weird, everyone. :) (Sharon Needles, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4, had a similar speech. I bet Graham Moore watches RuPaul’s).Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66001431280559395052015-02-23T07:34:56.095-05:002015-02-23T07:34:56.095-05:00What a fun read. :) The Lego Movie got robbed.

I ummed and aahed about Grand Budapest and whether it or Lucy should be number 10 for ages. Glad Patricia Arquette won.<br /><br />And sunbunny I love the haiku!Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.com
