Hope all of you are staying safe and warm, wherever you are. We've got a good few inches of solid ice and snow on the roads here, so looks like our little family will be staying put today. We're kind of selfishly excited to have Stephen here for the day, though ; )
Did any of you watch the Oscars last night? Although I hadn't really seen many of the nominated movies -- you know, since we had a baby and dates went by the wayside -- but I did get a kick out of all the pretty dresses, dapper gents and Ellen. I love me some Ellen.
Here were my Top Five moments of the evening:
#5 Lupita Nyong'o and her gorgeous blue stunner
Let's be honest; the woman could wear a bed sheet and look phenomenal. Her face, her body, her beautiful skin and delicate features...gaw. It was perfect. As was her positively mood-elevating acceptance speech for her supporting role in 12 Years a Slave.
#4 Pharell Williams
I love that they kicked the musical numbers off with 'Happy', his upbeat original song for Despicable Me II. I love Frozen as much as the next guy, but if I have to hear 'Let It Go' another time, I may spontaneously combust into a million little icicle particles. (Unless, of course, it is my niece's version of the song. That one is amazing.)
#3 The Epic Selfie
Needs no explanation. And it broke Twitter.
#2 Bette Midler
I'm a Bette diehard. The woman can do no wrong. The fact that she reprised one of her most famous songs for the memoriam portion of the show...well, it gave me chills. 'Wind Beneath My Wings', indeed.
#1 Matty Matt's Acceptance Speech
I thought it was one of the most eloquent I'd ever heard. He thanked God, his wife and kids, and was quite heartfelt about it all. And, the best part, he concluded it with his famed "Alright, alright, alright!" line. He wins. For the speech, for the suit and for the humble attitude that makes him one of the most approachable actors of our time.
What were some of your favorite moments from last night's 86th Academy Awards?
Lupita Nyong'o looked fabulous! I love that Prada dress. So simple yet breathtaking,
ReplyDeleteSadly I feel asleep and missed his acceptance speech - but I'm sure I'll catch it today at some point!! I thought the fashion was exquisite and it seemed like a really fun night - and lets be honest - Angelina Joile has never smiled so much - EVER!! Great show!
ReplyDeleteHis acceptance speech made me love him even more. Best one of the night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic recap! I just love Oscar night!! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the "selfie"

Matthew can do no wrong in my book. He is by far one of my favorite dudes in Hollywood. I'm SO happy he won. (Sorry, Leo).
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with your moments more! www.wearflowersinyourhair.com
ReplyDeleteYou named all 5 best moments.. The acceptance speeches of Lupita, Matthew and Jared were simply the best... Great Oscar show.. Can't wait to see the movies now!! HA!
ReplyDeleteI loved Lupita's dress! Her acceptance speech was also fantastic! Great picks :)
ReplyDeleteI was so impressed by a lot of the fashion last night - 2014 was definitely a banner year for fashion at the Oscars! Also loved Matthew's speech. It was nice to see someone remember to give some glory to God:) And Ellen? Hilarious! She was cracking me up with the picture taking and the pizza ordering. She has such a way of making celebrities more normal, and I love it!:)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about Lupita! She can wear a flour sack and look gorg. Kate Hudson was my absolute favorite. I might even buy some of her workout gear now ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fashion was amazing last night. I haven't watched the show yet but from what I've seen Ellen was hilarious. I love Matthew and If Leo didn't win, I'm glad it was to him but the poor guy is so due for an award lol
ReplyDeleteDid you just try to sneak in there that you didn't go on your date? :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and super happy I did! just followed =] and i loved his speech! also jared lets was so SO nice about his mom too =]
ReplyDeleteI loved Matthew's speech! I thought he was a true Oscar winner.
ReplyDeleteO.M.G...Matthew's acceptance speech was absolutely perfect! I loved this three things...someone to look up, something to chase, and something to look forward to. PERFECTION!
