I'm going to name my first child Oscar.

No joke. I will. Well my first male heir anyways.

So Oscar. (I apologize for the lateness I will be out of town next week so I have been ridiculously busy getting ready for that journey.)

All in all I'm glad it wasn't that long because it wasn't that shocking. In the tradition of the ceremony in the major categories we followed along with the same winners as were in the Globes. The exception to this of course was Marion Cotillard winning for "La Vie en Rose" I'm pretty sure myself and most of the critics did not see that coming. And Cotillard definitely didn't either. Her speech and reaction was definitely one of the most genuine and humble of the evening so I can't even be mad.

Avoiding the obvious category of fashion I choose to discuss acceptance speeches and other quips from the night because those were great and the fashion was pretty typical for oscars. And no one really made a horrendous mistake so what fun would that be?

Tilda Swinton made an interesting speech it was very fun and funny. The reference of her agent looking like Oscar is one of my favorites.....begs the question though of what is a good acceptance speech....obviously I hate hate loath the ones were they thank everyone under the sun....I appreciate some humor or wit but hers is a little disjointed at the same time. Chaulk it up to excitement.

Javier Bardem - giving part of his speech in Spanish because he is my sexy Spaniard love.....awesome. Thanking your mommy in Spanish and giving brief heartfelt thanks just to the people in your movie. Kudos on not boring me lover.

Day-Lewis - pretty generic speech but the man is already a legend so what is another Oscar? He's got that voice and mannerism though that he could be saying the most mundane thing and it could suck me in so that is why I loved the speech.

Obviously it was a Coen brothers night winning best picture and best directing. They are so quirky and deserving it was great to see them win although I also wouldn't have minded seeing Reitman win for Juno becuase he truly made one of those films that transcends taste, age, class, gender, culture etc. I don't know anyone who didn't love that movie.

Way to go to the Bourne Ultimatum for sweeping the technical awards. Just goes to show that its possible for the Oscars in the future to get a little more commercial. Sure most of the big awards went to little indie flicks the average American wouldn't dare to bend their mind to explore. But check out just the nominations for technical awards its a popcorn mess. We can only hope that one day we see Jason Bourne up for an acting Oscar just to see if he could get it.

Now I was a HUGE fan of Enchanted. HUGE. But I'm very glad that Falling Slowly from the Once Soundtrack made it for best song. Those lyrics and the music just give me chills every time I LOVE IT. Although it still sucks that Enchanted was up for the noms in that category and didn't take it. I wish Amy Adams would have sung her songs too because the stand in was not as good. Maybe that is why if you sing your own song you will win. Anyways everyone listen to Falling Slowly it will change your world.

Diablo Cody wins for Juno so my movie got some love which is always great.

And lets see some good John Stewart lines:
I like that he keeps the show light he doesn't try to be too funny I liked the giant Wii because you always wonder what goes on during ALL those commercial breaks.

Also the line about the baby tally where there were three women in the crowd pregnant but the night is still you and Jack Nicholson is here. That was probably my favorite.

THe John Travoltas plane was illegally parked was cute too.

And the opening monologue it was very great....him and his jokes were good not too over the top not to anything just funny and movie.

Cinematic Love <3
