I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with Anne Hathaway and James Franco, but I gotta say that after Ricky Gervais's mockery of the Golden Globes, I enjoyed it.
First and foremost, I'm not at all surprised that The King's Speech won Best Picture. I was fully expecting it, even if it wasn't my first choice. However, I was NOT expecting Tom Hooper to win for Directing. Since Chris Nolan wasn't an option (don't get me started), I think David Fincher deserved this award. That takes nothing away from Hooper, but I'm just very surprised.
I really wanted Hailee Steinfeld to win for True Grit. I thought she stole the movie from the veteran actors. And she's adorable to beat. And probably wouldn't have dropped the f-bomb in her speech! Not that I care that Melissa Leo did... but I just think Hailee's reaction would have been awfully to see.
No real surprises this year. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Although I was sooo pulling for 127 Hours to win Best Picture. I knew it wouldn't. But I thought it would have been awesome if it did.
I'm very, very glad that Natalie Portman won. She did an amazing job. And the talk that I kept hearing about Annette Bening pulling an upset totally confused me. Because I didn't think the acting wasn't anything special in The Kids Are All Right. (Actually, that's how I felt about the whole movie. It wasn't bad. But not Oscar-worthy, in my opinion.)
I loved seeing Zach Levi and Mandy Moore singing their song from Tangled (which I will be seeing as soon as it lands in the second-run theater). I love him. And I'll take this opportunity to give a shout-out to Chuck. Please renew it for another season, NBC. PLEASE!!!!
Okay, let's talk dresses... my least favorite is the curious Givenchy dress Cate Blanchett wore. It wasn't horrible. It was just... odd. And not quirky odd. Just odd. But at least stil classy. And she's just adorable and her hair looked SO cute that I'm willing to forgive. At least she made an attempt. (Yes, Tilda Swinton, I'm talking to you. I think you may have sat this one out. I appreciate that.)
My Top Five Best Dressed (in no particular order)
Can't wait till next year!!!
