The Oscars are definitely not my favorite awards show, but it's one of those things you just have to watch. If for no other reason than to stay in the know for tomorrow when everyone will be talking about it.
After an hour in, I'd say that Jimmy Kimmel is doing a pretty good job. I'm not his biggest fan, but he's pretty funny. His shtick with Meryl Streep was sweet and even though she looked like she'd rather not be the center of attention, it was a nice way to honor her. I'm also a big fan of the shower of candy via parachutes. Too cute! And what I'm loving is that the focus isn't solely on race this year - because it doesn't have to be. There are so many people of color nominated this year, which is fabulous to see. After last year's disappointing whitewashed ceremony, this year's ceremony is a sight to see!
I have no stock in who wins however, since I haven't seen a single movie nominated. I've only heard of about 3 of the movies. But based on what I've heard, Mahershala Ali definitely deserved his award and his speech was heartfelt, which always gets me. However, since we've only had an hour of awards so far, that's the only big award I've seen so far, so I can't say yay or nay to any other award yet.
The biggest excitement was Lin Manuel Miranda performing which he did beautifully. The young woman that sang his song was super talented and did a beautiful job with the song. And I have to give it to her, even after getting struck in the head with "waves" behind her, she kept singing so go her!
So that's my analysis so far! Cutting edge material if I do say so myself : )
