report : The 80th Academy awards ceremony 2008
And The Oscar Goes To...
I wake up at 02h30 am exactly in a hellish rain (strong hurricane season in Reunionisland), trying to make the least noise possible, this is a ritual I practice for more than 6 years now : getting excited at the soon-to-be-heard "Welcome to the 80th annual academy awards ceremony .. Kyaaaaaaaaa ~ ~
Black Point, the rain is my enemy .. Dear Satellite "Please work .. no fits and starts .. I need you ... Amen!"
Shhh! No noise ... My parents are asleep. * *....( Click on declining the volume 15 14 13 12 11 10 ...): The Red Carpet has already begun. Oh George Clooney! Oh ... Who is she? (Rubbing my eyes ..yoshhh~~)
* Kraack *.. * Tsskraac *... --------------------- (Black screen), it's raining too much.. Grrr.. okay, no worry, it does not matter, too bad for the interviews: as long as I can see the ceremony ....
So I go back to my room (it is 03h45 am) and I decide on checking my mails and taking a look at my usual forums: ooh surprise there are quite a lot people online .. this time it is normal for them .. It is rather unusual for me! ___ XD 04h30 it rains but less violently - ahhh ...
I expected 100% chauvinism from the commentators and yes they did ! ... During interviews the french reporter consistently asked the same thing to American stars' What do you think of the movie La Vie en Rose, have you seen it? " And stuffs like that ... Ehhheem ..
But this time being a chauvinist was good! 10 nominations for France is something, there's plenty to be proud of ? I am. Finally a score of 3 out of 10 with Best Short Documentary for The Mozart of pickpockets (Philippe Pollet-Villard), and two for La Vie en Rose, Best makeup for Didier Lavergne and Jan Archibald and Best Actress for Marion Cotillard. She was glamourous, her reaction moved me, I was very happy for her .. "There are really angels here ..." (she said referring to Los Angeles)
The ceremony was hosted by Jonathan Stewart a popular host of the show The Daily Show. I loved his humor (Long live the multilingual versions on satellite .. because the dubbing VF ... I hate it). Some of the most hilarious moments ... "Sweeney Todd, No Country for Old Men, There will be BLOOD ... my god so many movies psychotic ... America needs a hug?"
I also shed tears twice: during the retrospective of 80 years of ceremonies with all the winning films from the thirties until now and 80 years of films with the most memorable films .. This kind of retrospective with Titanic as the background score you know .. : P
Finally I collapsed when they screened those who had left us from February 2007 to 2008 ending with Heath Ledger. It was very moving.
Apart from that the actors were all elegant huh. George Clooney ... <3333 Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis were there, Renee Zellwegger looked high personally and Nicole Kidman used too much Bottox.
Cate Blanchett was beautfiul as was Daniel Day Lewis - who bagged the best actor award for There will be blood - (gaaah the ear piercing and the so british accent ... "indeed thank you very much" .. *faints*!)
Among the other nominees, of course the fabulous Javier Bardem as Best Supporting Actress for No Country for old Men which also won best director and the best moviealso .. Hmm personally I found the movie not so amazing therefore I am not ok with that but i agree with the Best supporting actor. he deserves it for sure! Tilda Swilton bagged the Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton - i was surprised - I expected it for Cate Blanchett with the movie I'm not there ... But pleasantly surprised!
Ehh i had to listen again to the songs of Enchanted
