Best/Funniest Moments & Observations (semi chronologically)

Jared Leto’ very emotional Best Supporting Actor award speech for his role in The Dallas Buyers Club dedicated to his mother was very heartfelt.  Although Leto’s sincerity can kind of seem a bit like the male version of Anne Hathaway (who funny enough presented the award) in that it can come across as a bit contrived, you can tell he means what he says

Jared Leto

Jim Carrey starring down Bruce Dern was pretty hysterical, yes it was super awkward, and had the audience not played along it probably would of felt like a catastrophe, but in the end it worked out and proved Jim Carrey can still be funny.

Kerry Washington was a perfect choice for a person to introduce Pharrell Williams performing the number one song in the country “Happy”.
Lupita Nyong, Merryl Streep and Amy Adams dancing with Pharrell during the song was everything .86th-academy-awards-show
Kevin Spacey coming out and talking in full Francis Underwood accent from his hit Netflix show House of Cards was great and the crowd loved it.
Brad Pitt made his debut in his new starring role as Macklemore.Angelina-Jolie-Brad-Pitt-and-Maddox-Jolie-Pitt
I don’t know, watching a bunch of white guys (U2)  perform a song about Nelson Mandella makes me feel some type of way, and I’m white..Matthew Mcconaughey was competing with himself: with the second to last episode of True Detective on at the same time as The Oscars, I found myself wanting to change the channel to HBO every time they showed him.

Ellen got her wish the selfie she took with many of the celebrities in the crowd is already the most RT picture on Twitter ever.

Her speech though! Holy crap, powerfully stuff.  Jamie Foxx‘s head nod said it all.The pizza thing was ridiculous, what pizza thing you ask?  Host Ellen Degeneres ordered, and handed out delivery pizza to the crowd, Jared Leto, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Keri Washington (who according to Ellen needed Pizza because she’s pregnant) and many more all grabbed a slice.

The god Bill Murray, I mean come on… while presenting the award for best cinematographer he casually said to Amy Adams “your the brains of this operation baby, tell em who won for best shooter”
The action movie montage, was AWESOME!!  The ending was aburpt, but still.
Man, Matthew Mconaghey’s speech was maybe the most orchestrated, scripted (like a movie) speech ever, but it was pretty incredible.  “Alright Alright Alright”
Biggie Willie Style makes a return. Even though he’s not exactly mr consistent quality lately Will Smith still presented the best picture award, a very big honor.
That look when WIll Smith realized 12 Years A Slave had won the award for Best Picture.  PricelessWho got robbed

Uhhh, Pharell maybe?  Guy has the current number 1 song in the country with “Happy” and probably the most relevant song to come along to an oscars possibly ever?  I mean this may be one of the bigger Oscar upsets ever.Whoever payed for the teleprompter at the oscars: seriously, was this thing on?  It seemed like every presenter had an issue even host Ellen Degeneress .  Except Jamie Foxx, he was hysterical, and used the timing of having to read off a Teleprompter to his advantage.

The Broken Circle Breakdown for best foreign film.  Ok so maybe I didn’t see any of the other foreign films nominees, but TBCB was damn good, and I doubt a movie about The Great Beauty was really better

Ellen got robbed by whoever wrote that “Spike Jones was a skateboarer” joke, althought it was very timley with Spike having just won the best original screenplay award, so maybe Ellen herself was to blame

Amy Adams acting coach, seriously that “im so happy for you beating me in this category Kate Blanchet” look she gave was definitely not convincing, at all.

Sandra Bullock not winning best actress –  True Kate Blanchett was a super duper lock to win best actress in most people eyes , and she did prevail.  But it’s kind of crazy to think that a performance like Sandra Bullock’s in Gravity, a movie that really- like director Alfonso Cuaron said when he accepted his award – WAS Sandra Bullock, did not catapult the so loved  actress and past oscar winner into legitimate contention for this award is surprising.

LEOOOOOOOO: damn man, I mean Matthew Mconaghey was the favorite and really is set to be the biggest actor in the world this year, but god damn why couldn’t the greatest actor of our generation  just get 1 freaking trophy.  ” They dont got no award for that ”

Really not that many people got robbed because honestly the pretty much got it right.  Spike Jonze winning best original script for Her to me was the lynchpin in this night where the seeming favorites for the right reasons prevailed.
