The Oscars

                I know I always blog about the award shows that go on, but basically everyone is there and they all look so good!  The 87th annual Oscars were last night (2/22/15).  Neil Patrick Harris was this year’s host, following behind Ellen DeGeneres who hosted the award show last year.

The nominees were all great and I was really happy about a lot of the wins.  I do wish The Theory of Everything would’ve won for “Best Picture”, but from what I understand, Birdman was really good.  I really thought Julianne Moore deserved her win.  The movie was okay, but her acting stood out to me.

          I’m always really impressed with the looks of the award show and red carpet.  I like how much effort they put into them.  The lights, camera, and action are so vital and everything looked perfect and very manicured.  The awards, however, are not the only perfect looking thing.  So many people just looked like they walked out of a magazine (perhaps with more clothing).  I love looking at all the dresses (mostly dresses) on the women and their hairstyles, even though I can’t fathom how much their look adds up to be, or how much they get for wearing certain designs by people.  I was really impressed with the presentation of the whole event. 
          
          When the award show actually started, I personally found them kind of boring.  They weren’t bad, but I really thought Ellen did a fantastic job last year keeping the audience alive.  She ordered pizza and took one fantastic selfie for crying out loud.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Neil Patrick Harris, but I thought Ellen did a great, especially because she is so used to talking in front of a big group, or live audience.
         
           If I had to rate this year’s Oscars, I’d give it a solid 7/10.  The show was alright, but again I thought the overall look was really what drew me in.

          What did you think?  Are you a big fan of award shows? What’s your favorite?
