Oscars: reaction and a meme
Went to sleep straight after the ceremony at 6am but couldn't sleep until 7 somehow. Woke up at about 11:30am. So I'm not going to function well today.
82nd Academy Awards
As a person who:
- didn't like The Hurt Locker
- thought Avatar was a real treat for the eyes but failed to go beyond that
there's no way I could have been happy with the results, right?
I'm still glad that a woman won the director award (about time!) though.
Highlights of the evening for me:
- surprise!NPH and his musical number! I was like this: :D for real.
- Tina Fey+RDJ = best presenting pairing
- Giacchino wins for Up and makes a lovely speech
- the characters from the animated features
meme:
