What surprised me the most at the Oscars last night?

That all the actors & actresses were actually affable, out-going, and there didn’t seem to be any sort of Sean Penn-esque fun-hating.

A selfie that celebs were falling overthemselves to get into? Even Angelina Jolie was smiling? By the way, nice job out of Lupita Nyong’o ‘s date for getting himself front & center in the pic! There seemed to be genuine enthusiasm out of all the actors & actresses involved. They actually seemed excited to be there…crazy concept.

Also, what is this? Actors & actresses who seemed to have actually put thought into their acceptance speeches? I thought Matthew McConaughey‘s was excellent, as was Nyongo’s. All of them seemed to have some sort of heart…or entertainment value. Loved Darlene Love belting out her speech. Reminder to self: watch “20 Feet to Stardom”.

Also, thought the pizza bit was very funny…thought Ellen was very funny…I think it helps to have a host who follows these celebs and actually seems interested in them. My favorite part of the pizza bit?

Who is that man sitting next to Camilla Alves? Yep…it’s Matthew McConaughey’s seat-filler. His job…smile, and not to touch Camilla.

Hey John Travolta…what the heck was this?

Her name is Idina Menzel…and yes, it can be hard to pronounce, but what did you attempt to call her? That was terrible. Go back to your botox surgeon, and go inject your face with more plastic. You look like a mannequin…and enough with the hair plugs.

AWESOME is as AWESOME does!
