Hopefully if you're reading this, and yes I humor myself that other people read my blog, you've seen The Oscars already. If you haven't and don't want to hear any SPOILERS, consider this a spoiler alert! Turn and run! I'll give you time....
Okay, so you've seen the Oscars. And while Wolf of Wall Street should have swept, I'm glad Gravity did. Beacuse that means American Hustle, the most boring piece of garbage to come out of 2013, didn't win. 0-10! That restored my faith in the Academy and Humanity. As long as Gravity kept winning and American Hustle kept crystallizing into their reality, I was happy. You don't see piranhas eating piranhas - so good job Alfonzo and Gravity.
I did LOVE Gravity. I think it ran over 2 hours and change but I was never once bored. More than half the movie was intense, exhilarating and tons of conflict made the story better. A great film to learn from.
While 12 Years a Slave was good, it wasn't the BEST film of the year. That would go to Gravity or Wolf of Wall Street.
Again, Leo got snubbed. He is a WAY better actor than Matthew, I'm sorry, but he just is. What the hell does Leo have to do to get an Oscar win?! Wolf of Wall Street was the best directed, acted and overall picture of 2013. 12 Years was, as I called it, Slave porn. It was less violent than Tarantino's slave movie, and that says a lot.
I'm still tired and a bit hung over from last night's Oscar party, so I'm going to end it here and not ramble on, ala Jared Leto acceptance speech.
