Thoughts: I loved the Oscars this year! Ellen Degeneres was absolutely fantastic as host and I hope she is invited back to host next year. I was so entertained and she brought a nice, light hearted and fun feel to the show. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by the show. With regards to the winners, I didn’t completely agree with all the winners but that happens. I just wish ‘Gravity’ hadn’t dominated so much since it definitely wasn’t one of my favorites.
My Oscar predictions and personal opinions:
Who I thought should’ve won, who definitely could’ve won and who actually won.
*I didn’t see any of the documentaries, shorts or foreign films so I didn’t feel comfortable having an opinion or prediction for them.
