Today was the day of the 80th Annual Academy Awards and for me personally,it was a disappointment because most of my favourites didnt win.But anyway,Im going to talk about it still.The event was hosted by funny man Jon Stewart.Im not exactly a big fan of his but I try to follow his own talkshow,'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' on CNN when I have the time,and I have to admit,he is really funny,whether its because its all scripted I dont know,but who cares.I thought he did a good job hosting the show as well.
But now to the important part,who was the winner.Well the big winner for this year was the violent thriller,'No Country For Old Men' starring Tommy Lee Jones.It scooped four Oscars including best director for brothers Joel and Ethan Coen,best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor for Javier Bardem.Of course it also won the big prize for the night which is the best picture,beating the likes of "Atonement","Juno","There Will Be Blood" and my personal favourtie,"Michael Clayton".I dont know much about the movie 'No Country For Old Men' but Im sure its good since it won a lot of awards.Its out in the cinemas here already,I havnt got the time to catch it,actually I wasnt interested to see it,but maybe I will after this.Any good movie is worth watching right? Another award that I was looking forward to was the best actor in the leading role where the winner was Daniel Day-Lewis for his performance in 'There Will Be Blood',beating the likes of my favourite actor George Clooney and Johnny Depp in the movie 'Michael Clayton' and 'Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street' respectively.Once again,I havnt watch the movie 'There Will Be Blood' yet,but Ive watched the other two and I thought both of them,especially Johnny Depp has a good chance of winning it,but of course he didnt.But credit to Daniel Day-Lewis,he is a great actor.
As for the women,the best actress in the leading role was won by France's Marion Cotillard in her role in the movie 'La Vie en Rose' whatever that is.Other nominess included Cate Blanchett in the movie 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age' and Ellen Page in 'Juno'.For me,I was disappointed not to see George Clooney or Johnny Depp winning but at least their movie has won at least one award during the night.Tilda Swinton won the best actress in a supporting role while the best art direction film award was won by the 'Sweeney Todd movie'.I was also pleased to see other of my favourite actors,Harrison Ford and a bald and new look Denzel Washington presenting an award.Both of them are legends,unfortunately,they wasnt nominated for any award for the night,maybe next year.
Once again,congratulation to all the award winners.Winning the Oscar is never an easy thing especially with this time round,there was a lot of great nominations.As for those who went home empty handed,there will always be next year.It has been a great 80th Academy Awards,Im really looking forward to the next one but for now,I shall continue going to the cinemas to watch the latest Hollywood movies because there are lot of great movies yet to be shown this year,so stay tune.For full result of the Oscar,you may want to visit their official website at http://www.oscar.com/
