4/5 Oscar Picks

So, I was 4 out of 5 with my Oscar picks.  My only mistake was thinking that the Academy would think that one Oscar was enough for Sean Penn. I really thought that the comeback of the year would be completed with a win for Mickey Rourke….  Overall, it was an interesting show.  They really tried to shake things up with the set design and the way the awards were presented.  My favorite acceptance speech of the night was Kate Winslet’s. I was so happy she finally got the Oscar that she has deserved for a while.  Other than the awards, the main reason that people watch, including me, is to see the stars.  For me the most beautiful star of the evening was Natalie Portman.  She doesn’t show up in public much unless she is promoting a movie, so it has been a while since I have seen pictures of her, but last night she was just stunning…

Unfortunately, the rumor about Carrie attending the Oscars was not true…Well kind of not true, she actually attended Elton John’s Viewing Party.  Naturally she looked Stunning and very Classy!!!

 

The Academy Awards, Slideshows, and Carrie

I am not sure what it means that I haven’t seen any of the movies up for best picture at tonight’s Academy Awards, but it can’t be a good thing (lol)!In fact of all the major categories, the only performance that I have seen is Heath Ledgers in Dark Knight. It always is more fun to watch the Oscars when you are rooting for a film or actor/actress, so I have decided to make my predictions even though I haven’t seen any of the movies… 

Best Actor- Mickey Rourke

Best Actress- Kate Winslet

Best Supporting Actor- Heath Ledger

Best Supporting Actress- Penelope Cruz

Best Picture- Slumdog Millionaire

In other Oscar news, there were rumors flying around that Carrie might be attending the event and maybe even presenting… This morning I found some  pictures of her arriving at the LA airport last night, so maybe she will be attending!!!

 

I spent a few hours yesterday trying to figure out how to add a slideshow to the blog.  After finally figuring it out, when I came back this morning it wasn’t loading, and neither were the videos that I had posted in earlier blogs.  I just went on and they appear to be loading now, so check out the slideshow of Carries concert in Denver last March.  It was an amazing show!  I was even lucky enough to win a Meet and Greet with Carrie before the concert.  She is as sweet as she is Talented and Beautiful!!!
