Live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin hosted the 82nd Academy Awards. But Neil Patrick Harris easily stole the spotlight with his opening number.And it was kinda nice to see those almost bare chicks dancing around him. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin made their entrance from above the stage and graciously held each others’ hand as they made their way to the front of the stage. They introduced some of the nominees, which unfortunately lasted too long, with some really bad jokes included.In all honesty, I was expecting more from the two of them and was slightly disappointed. Ben Stiller looked ridiculous dressed as a Na’vi, while presenting the award for makeup, but was amusing when he played with his tail and spoke a form of Na’vi language to James Cameron. The tribute to Horror Movies was very much enjoyed as clips from Jaws, Psycho, Rosemary’s Baby, Birds, Little Shop of Horrors and more, were shown. Although I do question why Twilight was part of that tribute…Steve and Alec did a short re-enactment of Paranormal Activity that made me almost fall out of my chair. Laughed my ass off when Steve slapped Alec and Alec fell out of bed. That was their highlight of the night. The tribute to those who have passed included a performance by James Taylor. As he played his guiyar and sang “Places” images of Patrick Swayze, David Carridine, Dom Delouise, Ron Silver, Brittney Murphy, Roy Disney, Michael Jackson, Natasha Richardson and others, were shown. It was a nice moment to appreciate those who have been lost. All hope was lost when the musical score segment began. The dancers were dressed horribly, they moved way too fast to slower music (especially The Hurt Locker) and when the music for Up began all I could think is, wtf?? Some random guy moving his arms as two other dancers moved around him. Complete disaster if you ask me. The only part that was somewhat worth watching was when the music to Avatar started and the whole dance company came out and performed. Other then that, a waste of air time if you ask me and a horrible idea to interpret movies through dance. It did not work. As for the closing award, Best Picture, talk about a total waste. Not only did they even introduce the nominees, there wasn’t even enough time given to process the fact that the award was given and no one had any idea what had happened. Talk about being rushed…Anyways, all in all the Oscars were a disappointment in my eyes this year. Check out the winners after the jump…
Winners in BOLD.
