Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow...eat your heart out James (aka-her ex husband, and biggest competitor of the evening)...that was true directing, and a huge step forward for women!
The Hurt Locker being named Best Picture was also a huge win! A win I was hoping for. I'm sorry, Avatar advanced cinematography and art, but the writing, plot, acting etc were nothing that has not been seen before, it was actually seen before-better, so I was pleased.
Avatar won where it should have, best art directon, and cinematography.
No one was surprised by the supporting winners of the evening:
Mo'nique, and Christoph Waltz
The Best Actor category was taken by Jeff Bridges, as it should have been.
Best Actress was a bit more nail-biting, but alas Sandra Bullock would prevail. Her performance was stunning. Though I feel for Meryl Streep, who is a bit like Susan Lucci....lots of nominations, few wins. However,
The John hughes look-back was awesome, in that he will always be the 80's king! Plus, that cast gathering of Hughes past was amazing!
Precious finally got a little more than Mo'Nique love, with best adapted screenplay.
The sadness was hit when Robin Williams announced the supporting actress category...reminding us all that last years recipient, Heath Ledger was no longer.
All in all, a good show. I was reminded that movie-goers still love a good story over flashy tricks. That even if you picked up a few Razzies the night before, you can still go home with Oscar. That yes, being better than your ex at what many consider his calling, can look and feel, damn good!
It was a good night in hollywood-though I think someone left Farrah out of the memoriam. Hmmm....something to think about until the real dish tomorrow-who, wore what!
