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.
