Face it, the Oscars is a bore. The 76th Academy Awards is so predictable and at the same time unpredictable. Predictable that Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (LotR: tRotK) is going to win in most of their nominated categories. Unpredictable that LotR: tRotK is going to sweep all its nominated categories.
The most filmed person, asides the host for the night, is none other than Peter Jackson. Every time LotR: tRotK won in a category, the cameras look that direction. And LotR: tRotK won something like 11 awards? I really have to say this: he really got to lose some weight. The buttons on his shirt: they looked as though they’re going to fly out anytime. If not for the LotR: tRotK, I would have imagined Jackson lying on the couch, munching packets and packets of Lay’s Potato Chips, drinking strongly-brewed beers, holding a remote control, surfing the television channels until he found one with lots of bikini babes and scream “yeah, baby”.
As Billy Crystal says, “It is now official that there is no one left inNew Zealand to thank”. I can’t help but to agree.
Speaking of whom [is there "speaking of whom", 'cause it kinda sounded erroneous], the pre-show thingy that Billy Crystal did, it’s not that particularly funny. The only funny thing during then is watching Billy Crystal sings not-so-funny stuff with the audience laughing like it’s the funniest shit they heard whole evening.
Unfortunately, it is quite so. Crystal’s singing turned out to be one of the more entertaining chapters of the show. Is it just me or is Oscars getting kinda boring. I looked at my clock [that goes, "tick tock tick tock"] again and again. I’m falling asleep after 2 hours of the show.
Although LotR: tRotK won so many awards, they are technical awards. I don’t think they won any acting-related awards. Thankfully I say. You know, the fourth orc counting from the right, marching in. Well, he should win the award. And the other orc.. Oh, there’s also the hobbit who lives in the third house from the entrance. Thank goodness, Frodo Baggins didn’t bag another award for LotR: tRotK.
