Oscar Thoughts…

I’ll spare everyone my redundant thoughts on what happened at the Oscar’s.  (Anne was annoying, show was predictable, Mila killed it in that dress…)  To change it up, I’d like to discuss what DIDN’T happen.  Where were all the celebrities?  Totally get that it was a year of smaller, independent films.  But it’s the OSCARS.  In no particular order, the no-shows:

Brad and Angelina

Tom and Katie

Ashton and Demi

Ben and Jen

Michael and Catherine

George Clooney

Kate Winslet

Kate Hudson

Matt Damon

Robert DeNiro

Jack Nicholson

Johnny Depp

Sarah Jessica Parker

Jennifer Aniston

Cameron Diaz

Ryan Gossling

Julia Roberts

Sean Penn

Daniel Day Lewis

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Meryl Streep (!!!)

The nominees and winners from last year’s show, including: Woody Harrelson, Christopher Plummer, Stanly Tucci, Christopher Waltz, Mo’Nique, Carey Mulligan, Gabourey Sidibe, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Anna Kendrick, among others.


And last but not least, THE ENTIRE Inception cast?  Hey guys, pretty sure you were nominated for Best Picture.  I’m talking to you, Leo.

It just didn’t feel very Oscar-y.

Hey remember that time my friend was nominated for an Oscar?

It happened today.

My old coworker at Wife Swap, Gigi Causey, is nominated for an Oscar.  She (and her husband) made a short, live action film called Time Freak.

They financed it themselves. A lot of the Wife Swap crew pitched in. A true passion project from some dedicated artists. And now….Oscar!

So when the day comes, please fight the urge to fast forward or run to the bathroom during their category!  They are awesome people who deserve to win! 

Remember: Short Film (Live Action): Time Freak by Andrew Bowler and Gigi Causey!

Ever wonder what real people look like when they get nominated for an Oscar? You know, people who aren’t sitting front row at a fashion show when they get a text from their agent? 

This is my friend, Gigi, and her husband finding out they are nominated for an Academy Award. 

Tears in my eyes.
