What's the Big D?

I sort of have so many things that I want to write about.  As the queen of random thoughts, really, countless ideas have gone through my head since my last post.  But, as probably everyone in the universe knows, except the kids that Slumdog is about, the Oscars were last night.  And I'm obvs supposed to discuss, since my first post ever was about the Oscar nominations.  Ohhhh but where to start?

How about with Hugh?  

Speaking of Hugh, my sister pointed out to me how chickflick appropriate Hugh Dancy's name is.  Part Hugh Grant, part Mr. Darcy.  Anyway.

Hugh Jackman is the Hugh I mean.  duh.  I know that they tried to pick a theater performer instead of a comedian this year, but I sort of missed the whole comedian route.  Like, everyone tries to make the entire show, except for the death and lifetime achievements, funny, so shouldn't funny be better with a comedian?  He tried to make every bit on the show into a funny musical.  Like Avenue Q.  Without puppets.  Some of it worked really well, while others made me cringe a little.  Everyone knows that I love Mamma Mia and HSM and Zac and Amanda and Vanessa and a little bit Dominic, but the whole musical montage, choreographed by Baz, was sort of a weird jumpy mess.  I would also like to point out that usually my opinions are generally swayed by reviews or my friends' opinion but I haven't heard any yet, so this opinion is pure-Sandy and subject to change.  The Anne Hathaway/Nixon bit was sort of funny, but they needed to decide whether or not she planned it or was surprised better, because she kept changing her mind.

I don't want to talk about the musical numbers anymore.  Normally the musical numbers are my best part.  But this time, I'm actually getting bored of them.  This from the girl who found Mamma Mia online every day and skipped to the songs.  

I would rather talk about Seth Rogen and James Franco's comedy bit.  Because, as I said, comedians are funnier than Broadway actors.  Ummm it was funny.  But it also made me think, was Seth Rogen in ANYTHING this year?  I know that he was in Zack and Miri but I didn't see it, so it like barely counts.  Okay, I could keep going but I am hungry and have written enough anyway.  I'll come back later to discuss the winners and whatever.  Adios.
