86th Academy Awards.

Who else tuned in? As far as dresses go, I thought that Charlize Theron, Kate Hudson, and Emma Watson were all stunning! Even though these gals didn't win any Oscars, they sure looked like a million bucks.

Other thoughts:

  • Ellen was absolutely perfect. Ordering pizza at the Oscars? Classic. Seriously, why didn't anybody else think of that?

  • Jennifer Lawrence is still the coolest cat around, despite her clumsiness, and maybe even a little because of it.

  • Oh, John Travolta. I was actually embarrassed for you.

  • Idina Menzel seemed pretty nervous while singing 'Let It Go' and didn't sound nearly as good as usual. Kind of disappointing, if you ask me.

  • As much as I admire Cate Blanchett, I was rooting for Meryl Streep to win Best Actress. Her performance in August: Osage County was unbelievable.

  • How about 12 Years a Slave for Best Picture?! I have yet to see it, but it looks like nothing short of a movie masterpiece. 

  • Out of all the Oscar winners, my favorite acceptance speech had to be Matthew McConaughey's. I loved that he chose to speak about the influence of God and family in his life instead of settling for the typical "I'd like to thank the Academy..." followed by a long list of names. His speech was very meaningful and well-prepared, and didn't have much to do with show biz. I'm not the biggest McConaughey fan, but I was pleasantly surprised. (Even though I was inwardly crying for poor Leo. Perhaps fifth time's a charm...)
