THE FULL LIST OF WINNERS CAN BE FOUND
HERE.
MY PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Cate Blanchett and Marion Cotillard are so cute! Their expressions when their movies won are play-back material.
I never really noticed it but Keri Russell is tiny. Goodness, I cannot believe she just gave birth.
Awwww... James McAvoy just nudged Saoirse Ronan when they announced her nomination and she gave a smirk. I love co-star love ♥
Tilda Swinton's acceptance speech was win! And I applaud anyone who refers George Clooney and his tight-donning, cape-wearing days as Batman. "You know, [you have such a] seriousness and dedication to your art. Seeing you climb into that rubber bat suit from Batman & Robin-the one with the nipples-every morning under your costume, on the set off the set, hanging upside down at lunch. You rock, man. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Jessica Alba realizing she was on-screen when Jon Stewart calls her being preggo? Nice Oscar moment there...
Dame Judy and Halle Berry skit? BRILLIANT. I loved that Seth Rogan was included somehow in that bit.
The songs that they chose this year for 'Best Song' are amazing. The song from "Once" is so beautiful. I cannot believe I haven't watched it yet. Jon McLaughlin is such a hottie *swoons and melts away.* No lie, they're some of my top songs on my iTUNES (minus the two annoying songs from "Enchanted" even though I do enjoy the other one, "So Close.") Here are the nominated songs from the 80th Annual Acadamy Awards that I uploaded for you all...
Falling Slowly [by] Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová Happy Working Song [by] Amy AdamsThat's How You Know [by] Amy AdamsSo Close [by] Jon McLaughlinRaise It Up [by] Jamia Simone Nash and Impact Repertory Theatre The montage of all the 'Best Picture' winners has reminded me how many movies I still NEED to watch. And I cannot believe I call myself a movie fantatic. For shame :/
My sister and I noticed that Marketa Irglova was cut-off from doing her speech and Jon Stewart, bless his good soul, that he asked her to come back out and actually get to do her acceptance speech. And her speech was absolutely beautiful.
That's so wonderful that they included troops for their presenters. I applaud ;)
HEATH LEDGER WAS MENTIONED IN THE TRIBUTE D; *my heart still breaks*
DIABLO CODY WON FOR BEST SCREENPLAY WHICH SHE ABSOLUTELY DESERVED!!!
I AM IN LOVE WITH CATE BLANCHETT AND MARION COTILLARD *CONGRATS ON HER WIN!!!*
