Actually, for the first time in three years, I enjoyed the Oscar show. I like it better without a host. I like that they went straight into the show with We Are the Champions. I’m glad Kevin Hart didn’t do the show. We see enough of him at the NBA All-Star Game. He’s wearing thin on me. I want the focus on the movies and for the most part this show wasn’t too political except for Spike Lee. But I’m even okay with Spike because BlankKklansman was my third favorite movie of the year and I had him for Best Director.. I had Green Book and A Star is Born in a virtual tie so I can easily live with Green Book being best pic. It was such a good movie with a wonderful message. Even my Trump friends were all over this movie.
My favorite movies of the year were in this order:
1a. Green Book
1b. A Star is Born
2. BlackKklansman (True story set in Colorado Springs in the 70’s.)
3. Bohemian Rhapsody
4. Free Solo ( This film won best documentary—stunning movie.)
5. The Mule
6. Vice ( Christian Bale’s performance as Dick Cheney was scarily good and I had him second on my best actor list.)
These were my favorite movies this year and other than The Mule each won at least one Oscar.
I’m glad at the end they picked the right movie and didn’t go all politically correct just to piss with Trump. We get enough of that every day. Feature the movies is what I say…and that’s pretty much what they did.
Rami Malik was superb as Freddie Mercury and I had him with Christian Bale for my best actor pics..
Marsharali Ali was my pick for Best Supporting Actor.
I find Olivia Coleman extremely annoying and went with Lady Gaga for Best Actress.
I also missed on Best Supporting Actress as I’m a huge Amy Adams fan. She was great as Lynne Cheney.
But in the end, Green Book won best Pic. Free Solo won Best Doc and Shallow won Best Song. I have nothing to bitch about. Be sure and see some of these movies if you get the chance since it’s supposed to be very cold next week-end. I didn’t see Roma so I can’t comment on the movie. I don’t like the fact it was in the Best Pic category instead of Best Doc…but that’s just me.
