The Oscars

Justin Timberlake kicked the show off with a song and Jimmy Kimmel took over hosting duties by continuing his feud with Matt Damon. Kimmel had a decent opening with a few barbs at the new president of the USA.

After the controversy last year regarding diversity, two black actors won in the best support category, one of them being a Muslim which would had made Trump happy.

Kevin O'Connell won an Oscar for best sound mixing for Hacksaw Ridge. It was his first victory in 21 attempts.

Mel Gibson got rehabilitated of sorts as his Australian shot film, Hacksaw Ridge won 2 Oscars.

Damien Chazelle became the youngest ever best director winner as La La Land won 6 Oscars or was it 7?

The final award of Best Picture saw two legends being wheeled out, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. It would be a shame that they only get known for this mix up that was not their fault. Next year the Oscars need to pick new auditors as PriceWaterhouseCoopers should be sacked.

Moonlight was the best picture winner over the slightly superior and wrongly announced La La Land but really it was not a vintage year for the Oscars but the awards were spread out which is always nice.

This ceremony had many great contenders competing. I can't say I agree with some of the wins, as I think Hacksaw Ridge should of got more love, but I'm still content with the results. That ending flub was also a pretty awkward moment that became kind of history defining. I'm sorry Moonlight, La La Land should of had that in the bag.

Cinema is much more than Filmed American Trash. The rest of the world films packed in one category! That really reflects a prejudiced American-oriented mind.

This Oscars and Academy Awards the 89th being correct was much different and ended with a surprise with the wrong best picture winner being announced something that we had never seen! Still the show tried to be funny with host Jimmy Kimmel as he took jabs at President Trump and Jimmy even introduced real people to the crowd of stars even one being an ex convict! And it was neat and nice for how the sky rained down with candy and donuts for the stars to eat! As expected the musical "La La Land" took home a lot of awards even earning cute and attractive red head Emma Stone her first Oscar as she won for best actress. And Viola Davis rightfully won best supporting actress for her strong performance in "Fences", yet Denzel was upset in the best actor race by Casey Affleck who won for "Manchester by the Sea". Now when the best picture was announced by Warren it was "La La Land" no wait a minute a mistake "Moonlight" wins best picture how did that happen! First time in the history did the academy just give out the wrong card, or was it a joke who knows!? Overall a mediocre Oscars that was even dampened more by the mistake at the end calling the best picture wrong let's hope it never happens again.
