Oscars 2014 Round-Up

Hello as soon as more my readers! Welcome to my spherical-up of one of many wonderful nights in film ancient past, the one, the wonderful (apart from for for the opposite 85 of them), the Academy Awards! Who’s excited? And to prime everything off, it’s miles being hosted by the legendary Ellen Degeneres, so we already realize it might per chance per chance most likely per chance most likely also be nothing but awesome! Stick spherical to stare what went down . . .

Easiest and Worst Dressed

The time has near as soon as more to ponder the form of some of Hollywood’s starlets on the night of nights. Did they ship? Did they fail miserably? You are going to want to read on an stare.

Easiest Dressed

Cate Blanchett 

No longer handiest did she (spoiler alert) accumulate an Oscar tonight, she furthermore won herself a narrate on my handiest dressed list (an equal honour). I severely ponder she looked mammoth awesome. It used to be adorable, it used to be sparkling, it used to be princess enjoy, that is Oscars materials upright there. I ponder they were most likely in doubt of who would accumulate handiest actress forward of the tournament, but then she rocked up on the pink carpet and they also appropriate gave it to her, fingers down (or she’s appropriate mega proficient, both one). Correct job Cate, loving your work. 

Lupita Nyong’o 

This lady is severely on the wonderful roll ever. She can if truth be told operate no awful. Each time her feet hit that pink carpet, her outfits are all huge hits. That is demanding to operate, but this time, she’s performed it as soon as more. That blue is severely one of many nicest colours ever. I even like the headscarf (because headbands are wintry). She looks enjoy what the miniature mermaid would look enjoy if she used to be nominated for an Oscar (and you understand, now not mammoth white). Loving it!

Jennifer Lawrence

She might per chance per chance most likely’ve fallen over (while you occur to are careworn, read on), but she with out a doubt looked awesome while doing it. Right here is Hollywood, upright right here. It’s with out a doubt an success when your robe is extra pink than the pink carpet. She appropriate looks mammoth duper amazeballs. It’s neat, or now not it’s neat and or now not it’s shiny. A mixture that can never disappoint. Scuttle J-Law!

Sandra Bullock

Definitely about it, Sandra is having a behold amazeballs. She might per chance per chance most likely merely play any individual who has been trapped interior a pickle shuttle and suffered from all kinds of trauma, but she doesn’t robe enjoy that the least bit (thankfully, because that is seemingly to be irregular). The color is awesome, the model is unprecedented, I appropriate like everything about it. It’s extraordinarily neat and Oscars appropriate. Overall, a fantastic ensemble. 

Woman Gaga

There had been some mixed opinions about this one. Every other folks divulge that or now not it’s gross and don’t maintain ever been created, after which there are other (true) other folks enjoy me who ponder she looks mammoth awesome. It’s Woman Gaga, clearly or now not it’d be something quirky. I if truth be told ponder right here is surprisingly neat even if. I fabricate now not even suggestions the pink scarf, she rocks it. She’s now not even nominated and she’s made it onto my handiest dressed list! Obtained to like the Gaga. 

Worst Dressed

Anna Kendrick

Oh Anna, why? There might per chance be nothing awful in particular I allege with this robe, but all collectively, it appropriate looks enjoy one mammoth irregular contraption. The miniature damage within the center looks mammoth irregular, and why are there random flower patterns? Also, or now not it’s now not a one shoulder robe, so why does it strive to mimic one (especially brooding about they’re awful)? This robe with out a doubt is now not if truth be told pitch wonderful. 

Anne Sweeney

I fabricate now not know who right here is the least bit, but I operate know that she looks awkward and irregular. Quantity one, were you visually impaired for these that determined to try this on? Quantity two, while you occur to are going to the Oscars, why nearly a pair of resolution to commence dressing enjoy a Dr Seuss character? Seriously! She looks enjoy she belongs in Suessville, or now not it’s ridiculous. The 2 color thing appropriate is now not if truth be told working, and why she has a miniature little bit of cardboard over her chest I operate now not know. Right here is enjoy some irregular scientific experiment that I will now not be to resolve. 

Glenn Close

No, appropriate no. I am sorry Glenn, but right here is de facto awful. What is it with celebrities and their tendency to robe themselves in physique baggage? This looks enjoy something that belongs at a morgue (a if truth be told depressing morgue at that). The quit half looks enjoy a scuba swimsuit, and the underside half looks enjoy an emo mermaid’s tail. This robe mustn’t exist, and has officially earned its pickle on the worst dressed list. 

Liza Minnelli 

Liza, what are you doing? Is this a irregular gathered robe, is it a puff swimsuit? I appropriate fabricate now not know! No matter it’s miles, or now not it’s miles straight forward awful. It’s appropriate a sparkling blue sack, and it makes her look enjoy she’s wrapped within the skin of a whale (which is now not steadily ever a factual thing, appropriate request PETA).  I know that she’s Liza Minnelli and can operate what she likes, but right here is appropriate a no no. Better success subsequent time. 

Julia Roberts

I fabricate now not know what I particularly dislike about this robe, but I know I dislike something. It legitimately looks enjoy an oddly fashioned robe a conservative, gothic dominatrix would slap on (and now not in a factual capacity). Why Julia, why? It’s appropriate irregular and very dusky, and doesn’t look flattering within the least. The bottom half appropriate hangs there, what’s with that? It’s appropriate a huge no.

The Trusty Award Demonstrate

To commence up the divulge, the overall legendary Ellen Degeneres needed to operate used to be produce her capacity on stage and the gang used to be already mammoth pumped. But nonetheless, why would now not you be? It’s a ways the Oscars! And or now not it’s Ellen Degeneres! As anticipated, she nailed it. Factual off the bat, she veritably stated that Americans are one of many a huge amount of victims of first world problems, announcing “For these of you staring at at dwelling, or now not it has been a demanding couple of days – it has been raining in L.A. We’re beautiful. Thanks for your prayers”. But oh no, it gets better. Actors were known as other folks with out like, friendship and family, June Squibb (being the oldest nominee) used to be talked at enjoy a listening to impaired aged particular person, and Liza Minnelli used to be accused of being a male run impersonator. 

She furthermore sparkling great accused the Academy of most likely being racist, which is repeatedly factual. Plus, she managed to steal a selfie right during the are living performance, onstage, in entrance of the realm. I ponder that is an success in itself.

I assumed it used to be appropriate me who loved it, but clearly or now not it’s a universal obsession. Now I will fabricate a snowman with the realm, no questions asked! I even want to disclose, I acquire it sparkling humorous that Leonardo DiCaprio serene hasn’t won an Oscar. I ponder the Academy is playing some extra or much less prank on him. I am now not particularly upset that he didn’t accumulate or anything else, however the man severely has unsuitable success. No longer lower than or now not it’s inspired some fresh gifs enjoy this one:

Don’t you appropriate like tumblr? 

Musical Performances

Pharrell Williams

The first musical performance of the night, Pharrell Williams came on swinging, singing his infectious hit from ‘Sinister Me 2’ (aka, one of many wonderful movies ever) ‘Overjoyed’. I if truth be told didn’t even snoop on the singing (which is a first for me- essentially the most judgemental particular person ever), the performance used to be appropriate so inspiring. It had a miniature little bit of slideshow within the background of dancing minions, which let’s face it, is the wonderful thing ever, and he got all these kids on stage dancing with him, and I fabricate now not appropriate imply bopping spherical randomly in a nook, I imply plump on dancing. And then he appropriate started weaving in and out of the huge name studded crowd enjoy a expert, and it used to be all appropriate mammoth wintry. Also, you cannot support it, the song severely appropriate makes you overjoyed (oh how aptly named it used to be). 

Karen O (and a few random other dude)

I fabricate now not maintain any thought who she is, but I assumed this used to be a nice, chilled, slightly low key performance. It used to be appropriate her and a random dude with a guitar performing ‘The Moon Song’ from the nominated film ‘Her’. After I narrate it used to be low key, I imply it used to be severely low key (she took her sneakers off, that is for these that understand or now not it’s excessive). Also, what used to be nice about it used to be that it used to be short and candy. these performances that if truth be told feel enjoy they move for your total existence, and they also appropriate proceed to suck and suck till you safe all homicidal? This wasn’t this form of (thank god). They both had slightly quirky voices which had been kinda wintry and positively match the song, so that used to be factual. All in all, it used to be sparkling wintry. 

U2

Performing their song ‘Fashioned Adore’ from ‘Mandela: Prolonged Stroll to Freedom’ used to be U2. I even want to disclose, I wasn’t wowed or anything else. I imply it used to be factual (as in, in tune), but it with out a doubt used to be extra or much less tiring. I am now not the wonderful U2 fan (and even a fan within the slightest), so I allege I am extra or much less the awful particular person to request. I fabricate now not know, but there’s appropriate something about Bono’s bid that annoys me. It extra or much less sounds enjoy he’s whining to a pair kill of melody, now not if truth be told singing. Also, it got mammoth tiring after some time. It appropriate kept going and going. the homicidal tendencies that I was talking about forward of? They were getting sparkling terminate. Also, to prime it all off, I fabricate now not even enjoy the song. It’s appropriate long and tiring, and a extinguish of existence. 

Purple

In a miniature little bit of celebration of the work of the slack Judy Garland, Purple delivered a severely awesome, modernised performance of ‘Someplace Over the Rainbow’. Every so steadily other folks strive to be all stylish with outdated classics and it appropriate severely doesn’t work, but this with out a doubt did. Within the encourage of the overall poppy stuff that Purple does the overall time is severely a fantastic bid. It used to be appropriate mammoth awesome, that is all I will narrate. It used to be furthermore nice that they had clips from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ within the background, it used to be a nice touch. It wasn’t appropriate me that plot she delivered along with her performance, it used to be absolutely all americans else within the viewers as smartly, so great so that she got a huge standing O (Liza Minnelli incorporated, now that is an success).

Bette Midler

It’s repeatedly a demanding gig being the put up in memoriam performer, the overall depression and what now not. But I even want to disclose, I ponder Bette did a sparkling factual job. Having performed ‘Wind Below my Wings’, at the least she had the indisputable truth that it used to be a ‘Seashores’ traditional on her aspect. It used to be nice, and it used to be unhappy. That is sparkling great all you can request for in a memorial performance. So yeah, the song’s a miniature bit overused and sappy, but she rocked it. 

Idina Menzel

Right here is officially my popular performance of the night! And no, that is totally now not biased. I imply first off, or now not it’s Idina Menzel, so I knew it used to be already going to be spectacularly awesome. To provide it even better she performed the perfection that is ‘Let It Scuttle’ from ‘Frozen’. It used to be if truth be told no joke, one of many wonderful issues ever. Stay ‘Frozen’! It doesn’t safe any better than that. Existence is unprecedented upright now. I am if truth be told so excited I’ve forgotten systems to kill sentences. Abinofmpwrdnka. 










My Awards

As I are seemingly to operate, I prefer to steal all of the eye a ways flung from the Oscars and pickle it on myself (because that is appropriate how I roll). What’s the wonderful capacity to operate this? Give out your maintain awards at the same time, clearly. So low and stare, my awards for one of the important stuff that went down at the Oscars 2014. 

Easiest Mid-Demonstrate Groove: Meryl Streep and Pharrell Williams. It gave the affect that Meryl furthermore mammoth loved Pharell’s performance of ‘Overjoyed’, so great so that she determined to be part of him and maintain a miniature little bit of groove of her maintain. 












Finest Celeb Pizza Birthday party: Clearly, this one goes to Ellen, who being the legendary host she is, organised for pizza to be dropped at the Academy Awards. That pizza man need to’ve been so stoked. 











Most Immoral Mispronunciation: John Travolta, fingers down. It severely is a majorly awkward 2nd for these that mispronounce broadway story, singer and actress Idina Menzel’s name. And now not even appropriate a miniature little bit of, majorly.  

Glimpse, I didn’t lie. 

Easiest Glinda Impersonation: Can even it if truth be told be someone else but Ellen? I ponder now not. After the ‘The Wizard of Oz’ tribute, Ellen brought it upon herself to honour the legendary film. 

Easiest Photo-bomb: No longer even in his maintain nation, this one goes to Benedict Cumberbatch. Who can photo bomb U2 and safe away with it? This man can. 











Easiest Mid-Demonstrate Selfie: Even supposing this used to be one of many mid-divulge selflies, the one under will want to steal the cake. It’s got sparkling great every famous particular person ever obsessed with it, plus it if truth be told legitimately broke twitter. No, I am now not lying. Twitter severely crashed because the photo used to be getting so many retweets, now officially making it essentially the most retweeted tweet ever, how wintry is that?











Most Facially Expressive Celeb: No longer so surprisingly, this one goes to Jim Carey. He used to be legitimately on the stage for lower than two minutes, and he serene managed to tug these:











Easiest Cash Maker: This one as soon as extra goes to host Ellen. What better pickle to hunt for money than a room jam stuffed with rich celebrities, am I upright?











Most Spectacular Descend: Jennifer Lawrence. It looks she’s made this an annual thing after her legendary fall up the stairs as she went up to receive her handiest actress Oscar closing 365 days. This time, she didn’t even watch for the ceremony and determined to spectacularly fall on the pink carpet. 











Yay! You are going to merely maintain now officially read everything precious there’s to know about the 2014 Academy Awards! Now that the night of the 365 days has nearly about an quit, what subsequent? Don’t wretchedness, awards season is now not if truth be told over yet, there’s loads extra to move. Til’ subsequent time . . .
