Perhaps most blogs on the net would have something to say about the recently concluded 81st Oscar Awards. From the the dresses actresses wore, to Hugh Jackman's hosting job, and to the winners, each may have his or her own opinion. Well, this blog is no exception. Since I didn't go to work because I wasn't feeling well (seriously), I had the chance to watch the Oscars on TV. It might not be much, but here are my thoughts.
The women who were stunning and really stood out that night were Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Amy Adams, Penelope Cruz, and Alicia Keys.

Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, and Penelope Cruz are beautiful as expected. I had to hear Alicia Keys speak to recognize it was her. She looked different in a very good way.
Highlights of the evening were Hugh Jackman's highly energetic opening number and the acceptance speech of Heath Ledger's family for his award for best supporting actor. It was an expected win. I wasn't able to watch The Dark Knight, but a lot of people were really blown away by Mr. Ledger's performance. Maybe I should get a DVD copy. For those who weren't able to catch Hugh Jackman's unexpected musical number, here's the video:
At first, I thought the reason why got Hugh Jackman to host the Oscars is because he topped the sexiest list. Now I know the reason why he was picked for the job. More than the good looks, this guy's got talent! His performance reminded me he did The Boy From Oz. He did a great job hosting and entertaining everyone.
Isn't Anne Hathaway talented?! Looks like her team up with Julie Andrews did her well. But I guess she has been singing ever since.
Well going back to the Oscars, Slumdog Millionaire bagged almost all the awards it was nominated in, and this intrigues me and makes me want to watch the movie. With all those awards, it must be really good. I also have yet to see Kate Winslet's performance in The Reader to understand why she won in the Oscars and in the Golden Globes.

That's about it and I'm looking forward to next year's Oscars!
