It's a long long night

Wow the Academy Awards are always impressive sadly it is really difficult for us germans to watch.
Just so you know the Red Carpet starts at about 1 am German time !!!

But I love the show and just seeing Neil Patrick Harris opening and I really have to admit Steve and Alec are fantastic. I was thinking that it is hard topping last year I mean with the musical theme and Hugh Jackman but I am impressed.

So happy about Christoph Waltz winning (which I tweeted and posted on facebook [crazy right?])!

Also loved Ben Stiller presenting Best Make Up to Star Trek in a Na'Vi make up (which wasn't even nominated!!) Did you forget?

Uhh Robin Williams just got on to present best Supporting Actress...
I can't decide thank god the Academy did that for me ! :)
All these fabulous women did such a great job so they are all winner for me but who gets the guy?
They chose :
Mo'nique ... yeah she did a fantastic job I could really feel her characters pain in the short clip we could see. I haven't seen the movie yet! (But I really want to![Precious based on the novel Push by Saphire] Go check it out!)

I do realise I am not the best blogger but I am writing from my heart. And Movies are a passion of mine.
On with the show:
Jodie Foster presents the Award for best production design:
who would've thought but AVATAR won! Well the movie can't top Titanic but hey they have 9 Nomination and well how many are they going to take home? I saw Avatar my self in 3D and yeah it was soooo amazing and the world of Pandora was so beautifully designed I believed it excisted or at least could excist!

Sarah Jessica Parker and Tom Ford are presenting best costume. Can someone explain me her dress? Just saw it mystery solved. It is a pretended strapless.  Love the women who just won (sadly I didn't catch her name but she also won for Aviator!)

Uhhh a special tribute to Horror Movies! Haha can you imagine Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in a room for a whole night? Seems hilarious :)

Taylor Lautner and Kirsten Stewart present. It is a great category and well they kind of are out of a horror-esque movie series (or what are you calling Twilight? I mean Vampires and Werewolves and stuff??)
Wow they chose great clips[here just a few I recognized]
Sleepy Hollow
the birds
Interview with a vampire
Edward Scissorhands
silence of the lambs
and many many more!!!
(Maybe I can find the clip on youtube! And you can see for yourselves!)

Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick are going to present best sound editing. Morgan Freeman speaks the teaser clip with the great example of last years winner 'The Dark Knight'. [--> great movie btw]

WINNER : The Hurt Locker! --> Another must see movie. I believe it is going to be amazing to watch.

Best sound mixing:
Hurt Locker again!! CONGRATS! The poor guy could have just stayed on stage :)
