Oscars 2014 Recap

   To start off I was very pleased with the selection of films for best picture this year. Im glad that "12 years a slave" got best picture, I think it completely deserved it. The selection of actors and the performances in that movie were stellar. I'm proud for Lupita Nyong'o for her award winning best supporting actress, she's a very beautiful and intelligent woman. I really liked the blue dress she wore it made her look stunning. As for the best actor I predicted wrong thinking that Chiwetel Ejiofor would take away the oscar but Im proud of Matthew McConaughey for his achievement which makes me want to see Dallas Buyer's Club. I would also like to see Jared Leto's performance in that movie which earned him an award. I think Cate Blanchett gave a good performance in Blue Jasmine from what I can remember from that movie. Im still a bit ticked off that Gravity won 7 oscars, (talk about being very one sided...) Alfonso Cuaron should not have one best director, in my opinion 12 years a slave was a better directed movie. The Gravity also shouldn't have won best cinematography because mostly everything done in that movie was in front of a green screen, it shouldve gone to either 12 years a slave or the black and white black comedy Nebraska. Paolo Sorrentino's La Grande Bellezza looks very interesting. I was also disappointed that best original song went to the commercial hit Frozen and not the moon song from the movie Her. Im very glad that 12 years a slave got best adapted screenplay and Her got best original screenplay. I loved the ideas and concepts and were presented in Her, having a very touching yet unusual story in a very likely kind of future. Its been a great year full of great films and I'm very interested in what is yet to come...
