February 27
Yesterday was the Oscars, and it was okay. Jimmy Kimmel hosted, and he did a good job.
The only highlights were when he said some funny things, lifted that kid reenacting a scene from the Lion King, the DeLorean from Back to the Future, that tour bus coming in, candy and cookies raining from the ceiling, and the end when they made a big goof.
Zootopia won best-animated film, and I wasn't surprised. I knew it would win. It was a really cute, entertaining movie. I thought Finding Dory would be in the nominees, but it wasn't. I knew Moana would be.
At one point, Jimmy asked if anybody was hungry, and told them to close their eyes and wish. Some did. Then candy in bags parachuted down from the ceiling. They then rained down again at another point. Cookies also rained down at another point.
A tour bus stopped by with the people on the tour not knowing that they were coming to the Oscars. Boy, what a surprise! I bet none of them will ever forget that; I wouldn't!
The best foreign film went to a movie from Iran. But because of Trump's travel ban, the director of that film didn't come. He had people accepting it on his behalf though, and doing his speech. How sad; Trump is ruining the Oscars as well!
Then came the real mess up at the end. La La Land was announced as Best Picture instead of Moonlight. Apparently, the guy was given the wrong envelope and thought that it was for Best Picture, when it was for the Best Actress. The whole family left before they could announce there was a goof up. When I told them, they didn't believe me. I felt bad for the La La Land people; they were in the middle of their acceptance speeches, when they realize they didn't win. Talk about embarrassing and awkward! Jimmy and the guy that made the goof apologized, but this Oscar major goof up on the most important award of the night will be remembered!
So, in conclusion the Oscars were alright. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the greatest Oscars compared to the ones from the past. And hopefully, they will never screw up the Best Picture ever again, or any time soon.
