The Ocsars

Last night was the 84th Annual Academy Awards, aka the Oscars. The show absolutely did not disappoint. For the first time in my life I went to an Oscar Party at my mom's friend Michelle's house. the five of us (me and four of my mom's friends) all filled out sheets with who we thought the winners would be while we watched the Red Carpet coverage and we scored our choices as the main event aired. Billy Crystal did an excellent job on his 9th time hosting, and many of the speeches were wonderful crafted and sincere. Hugo and The Artist were big winners, and Meryl Streep finally won her third Oscar after nearly 30 years (she has 17 nominations total, wow!). I totally lost the game we were playing, but at least I got most of the big categories correct (director, actor, actress)! We also had a wonderful meal prepared by Michelle and cooked by her husband John. All in all it was a really fun night!
