Oscars!

Ah, feels so weird after working the Oscars 4 years in a row, now watching it from home! Overall, I felt the show was rather boring. I liked Jon Stewart better on his last Oscars hosting duty. This time he just wasn’t so good… dunno if it was due to the writers strike or what.

So, out of the top categories I only saw “No Country for Old Men” and “Juno”. Still on my list is “There Will be Blood”, “Atonement”, and “Michael Clayton” (yea this year I’m interested in seeing them all). I liked “No Country for Old Men” because it’s excellent film making, acting and directing. But the story line just throws me. I liked it until the end. I’m not sure what I was supposed to get out of it. I got the theme - hunter becomes hunted. The hero is not quite moral but we still root for him… but I’m not sure what else I was supposed to get out of it that made it an excellent film… if someone got more out of it, please tell me what I’m missing!

I loved Juno! I saw it once and already want to see it again and I will because Josh fell asleep during it I heard a lot of people loved “There Will be Blood” even those that didn’t like “No Country for Old Men”… so I’m very interested in seeing that next.
