I'm not a Kristen Chenowith fan. If we were sending suggestions for future hosts, I would vote for
Queen Latifah. I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with Seth MacFarlane, but I think he did pretty much what I was expecting from him, and you either like him or you don't.
I feel like this year's Oscars will forever be known as "the year Ben Affleck should have won best director, but didn't even get nominated." The show was good, overall, I thought. I went 13 out of 24 on my predictions. I got a lot of the "major" categories right, but bombed out on most of the documentary, short films, sound mixing type of stuff. And
Amour winning Best Foreign Film, who could have seen
that coming? I kid, I kid.
There were just so many good movies that came out over the past year. I would have liked to see
Moonrise Kingdom get more nominations, but it sort of slipped through the cracks.
