I saw part of it. My wife wanted to watch it for NPH, whom I did find amusing for the most part. He had a couple of jokes fall flat, but he did all right for the most part.
I don't know what that Everything Is Awesome song is, but it was utter crap. Is that a reinvented version from the Lego Movie, or is it just as crappy there too?
My Facebook newfeed exploded with OMGs about Lady Gaga's performance. I was mildly surprised, but I had heard that she had a great singing background. I just refer to her as the Jim Carrey of singing. She has the talent, but she squanders it on pop nonsense for the sake of a boatload of cash. Then again, if I got paid that much to do vapid shit, I'd squander my talents too.
It didn't really matter to me what movies won. It was kinda cool to see Grand Budapest Hotel win awards for its visual elements; having actually seen that movie, I can attest that it is a visually striking movie. But even if it didn't win, I would have just shrugged and moved on.
I actually did see the animated shorts at a theatre, so for once I was not sitting there blinking uncomprehendingly when they showed the tiny snippets from them. Pity they couldn't have been played for longer. They were generally pretty good. I suspected Feast would win. That was the short that preceded Big Hero Six in theatres. My wife preferred the Dam Keeper, which was a touching story that involved bullying. I like the record one (The Single Life, I think it was called). The only issue I had with that one was that the woman was animated inconsistently. Her breasts jiggled way too much, which isn't normally a problem except that the rest of her didn't jiggle so much. The rest of the character was drawn so rigid and inflexible while her boobs just swayed and bounced all over the place. Maybe that cost it the Oscar.
Hard to give an opinion about everything else. It did remind me that I do want to watch Birdman, though. It sounds like it lives up to the hype, which makes the hype even larger.
