Five Oscars to “The Artist”! Jean Dujardin Triumphs as Best Actor! Meryl Upsets Best Actress!
WOW! WHAT a great Oscar show this year! Not the least of which was the excitement of seeing “The Artist” win Five Oscars!!! Including Best Picture, Best Actor, Jean Dujardin and Best Director Michel Hazanaviscius! And then, Meryl Streep upsets in Best Actress, and dressed-to-kill in a glittering golden gown, the world was SHOCKED, or I was anyway, and the people at the Oscar party I saw it at, won her THIRD Oscar, the first in 29 years!
And Meryl looking like the living embodiment of Oscar itself, in that golden dress-to-end-alll-Oscar-dresses, she was definitely in it to win it!
And win it, she did!
It was a big night for Harvey Weinstein, too, and the Weinstein Company, because they won Five Oscars for “The Artist” two for “The Iron Lady” (Best Actress and Best Make-Up” and TWC ALSO won the Best Documentary for “The Undefeated.” That’s QUITE a haul for one night!
Congratulations, Harvey! Bravo! Well played! And whatever you’re doing, obviously you’re doing it right!
Meryl’s unexpected win was really thrilling and she was funny and thrilled herself.
And the French artists behind “The Artist” must’ve had QUITE a wonderful night last night, too!
I did attend a wonderful Oscar party and this took my mind off my computer problems. I dropped my laptop and the AC Adapter got bent, which is why I haven’t been able to blog post here or anywhere in the past few days! Bummer!
But here I am(not on my own computer, but nevertheless, here) and I’ll keep trying to record all my excited, and hopefully, exciting thoughts on last night’s great, great show!
Billy Crystal was DIVINE! He hit the perfect note as the Oscar Host. Funny, really funny, and at 63 dashing and dapper, he kept everything moving and classy. It was like the fastest Oscar show I’d ever experienced.
It is so much better to see it with friends, who are just as invested as you are in the outcome. Well, not THAT invested. I, who write for www.awardsdaily.com and produce and host www.youtube.com/StephenHoltShow
the Stephen Holt Show. Sometimes I think I’m OVER invested.
I felt awful for Michelle Williams losing. THAT I didn’t like. But other than that I was happy with the outcome.
And I have to point out that Dave Karger and the EW staff, who put that Oscar Race cover and issue, which will now live in infamy, as NEITHER of the depicted duo(George Clooney and Viola Davis) won! FAIL! I knew Oscar voters would be offended by EW TELLING them who to vote for! You don’t DO that!
I’m sure Harvey Weinstein doesn’t do that, but whatever he does, it’s phenomenally persuasive. Last year “The King’s Speech” and now THIS year “The Artist”, “The Iron Lady” AND “The Undefeated”!!!
Well, that’s what Harvey W. is today! Undefeated!
