Oscars: A Stream of Consciousness, Part 2

Oh goodness, a wonderful beginning to the ceremonies. A satire of the more iconic Best Picture nominees starring James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Alec Baldwin makes a cameo! They're invading his dreams. Using the Inception elevator to visit the different films. Morgan Freeman narrates Alec Baldwin's dreams....

And here they are, the hosts! James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Quite an unconventional choice, but looks to be inspired. They have good chemistry. I like her better than him, in any case. Of course, I will never forget Franco's line in 127 Hours --- "...Oops." But it doesn't look like they're getting as many laughs as was probably hoped.

Okay! Tom Hanks is called up to present. This is for.... Art Direction and Cinematography.

Predictions: respectively, Inception and True Grit.

Winner: Alice in Wonderland

Disappointing. That's okay. Ugh, I forgot we have to sit through speeches. Sigh.

But hey, King's Speech didn't win! So it isn't guaranteed for a sweep.

0/1 so far.

Winner: INCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!! Wally Pfister took it! WOOOOOHOOOOO. An upset! He finally gets one! Roger Deakins was expected to get it for True Grit, because he's been overdue for so long, but Pfister has too, and True Grit was NOT Deakins's best work! Yes!

0/2, but happily so!
