I watched the Academy Awards tonight. I don't know what it is, but I like watching awards shows to see all of the pretty people and pretty dresses. It's really lame and shallow, but I admit...I enjoy it. I wish I could get all dressed up like that for something, just once. I thought that Kate Winslet looked beautiful. I was glad to see that Jolie and Pitt didn't win best actress and best actor, respectively. Although I didn't see either of the movies for which they were nominated this year, I do think that they are two of the most over-hyped celebrities ever. I have enjoyed movies of theirs in the past, but I really don't think that either of them is a stellar talent. Brad Pitt isn't even my pick when it comes to good-looking men; I far prefer Johnny Depp or Jude Law (who have loads of talent, in my opinion). I think that Angelina Jolie is pretty, but I also think that there are many other women who are equally pretty (Kate Winslet, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway for instance) who receive less attention because they don't go on baby binges and sleep with Brad Pitt. Also, I don't know if I'm off my rocker, but I really think that the "octo mom" woman looks a lot like Angelina Jolie. Is it just me? I think that she's kinda like Jolie might look without makeup in a few years.
Anyway, I didn't see all of the movies that were up for awards. I kept meaning to see them, but it seems like there are too many to keep up with. I still want to see Slumdog Millionaire. Stephan bought The Dark Knight, but I still haven't watched it. I keep forgetting about it. I didn't get to go to the theater with him to see it because I had to work. I also want to see Revolutionary Road and Wall-E. Ah, I don't know. Movies are so expensive to see in theaters; I usually have to wait to rent them at Hastings. The only problem there is that I have usually forgotten that I wanted to see them by the time they get to dvd.
