This years Oscars were a lot of fun. Seth MacFarlane did a good job keeping up the laughs but not going too far like Ricky Gervais did in the Golden Globes a few years ago. Out of Lincoln’s twelve nominations, only Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor and Production Design picked up the statues. Life of Pi picked up the most awards tonight (Director, Adapted Screenplay, Score, Cinematography, Visual Effects, etc) with Argo picking up the biggest award of the night: Best Picture. Ben Affleck had the most amazing speech of the night, getting really emotional and rambling and it was so cute. My other favourite winner of the night was Jennifer Lawrence. As she was walking up the stairs to collect her award she tripped and fell with Jean Dujardin and Hugh Jackman running over to help her get her footing. She seemed completely bewildered by finding herself on stage with the award in hand, I’m just so happy for her.
