Interesting Oscar telecast this year. I think it was much more family-friendly with Billy Crystal hosting. It’s so amazing to see him perform his clean jokes without taking jabs at anyone and still being funny. That’s a lesson today’s comedians could learn from (not that I don’t love cursing and sarcasm).
I’m not sure why they started at 8:30 this year. I feel like it’s always been at 8 and they try and wrap it up by 11. This year went past 11:30 (because it never comes in under 3 hours). It didn’t feel long, which was good, even though there were so many technical categories early on that no one cared about.
Babbler and I watched Moneyball and Midnight in Paris earlier in the day so we could have some Best Picture rooting interests beyond just The Help. I think looking past the ceremony we still want to see The Descendants, maybe The Artist and possibly Hugo.
Below is the full list of 2012 Oscar Nominees that we did see (and their major category):
Bridesmaids (Supporting Actress)
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Lead Actress)
The Help (Best Picture)
Midnight in Paris (Best Picture)
Moneyball (Best Picture)
The Muppets (Original Song)
