Mine should be posted tomorrow morning. I'm not real creative, as I haven't watched an Oscars for years. Just way too long, so I guess my highlights are whatever the press decides to show us!
Great choices! I chose two different ones. Mine is up here: http://www.forgetfulone.com/2011/02/monday-movie-meme_27.html
I remember that Adrian Brody win, partly because I had no idea who on earth he was! This is a fun idea. Mine's up now.
I loved Helen Mirren's speech when she won Best Actress. There's just something about a proper British accent saying "ass over teakettle" that stops the show!
My mind's a blank -- All I can think of is Sally Fields! LOL.a
Here are Sassy's big Oscar moments: unforgettable.
Truly agree with you regarding both amazing acceptance speeches; love Adrien and Cuba's enthusiasm! :) Mine are HERE.
I haven't been able to watch the Oscars for years with no TV signal and too cheap for satellite...but I have a couple that stand out. Roberto Benigni when he won for Best Picture or actor or something...he totally freaked out. It was hilarious. The other was when Tom Hanks won either for Philadelphia or Forrest Gump...he thanked his high school drama teacher. That was classy.
sounds memorable. I never watch the academy awards--but I did read a book called "Princess Academy" over the weekend.
Great question. I didn't think last night's show was very memorable. Except for Melissa Leo's f-bomb.
I loved Cuba Gooding Jr.'s reaction! Priceless :) My answer is up.
Mine is Robert Begnini as well. It was just so real.
An unforgettable moment at the Oscars this year was the fashion, as far as I'm concerned. Helena Bonham Carter was channeling a mix of gothic style and fantasy cinema on the red carpet while Kate Blanchet looked like someone dressed her in an old window curtain and tried to repurpose it as a modern day apron.
However, I just realized that my most unforgettable Oscar moment was from an absurd event that occured on the broadcast a few years ago....which I will post about later this week.
Hi, I came from ds's Third-Storey Window and saw your blog post about the Oscars. I have been watching the Oscars for decades. Last night the most memorable for me is Colin Firth's win. After hearing his acceptance speech and knowing that he finally gets some well-deserved recognition, I feel like I don't need to see any Oscars anymore. ;)
The winner is Sandra Bullock. Her 2010 acceptance for Best Actress in which she thanked all mothers - and specifically her own - and spoke directly to each of the other nominees, was total class. And that moment at the end when she teared up and was thankful for then-husband Jesse James, who just days later was revealed to be a total ass. Then she came back in 2011 as a presenter, held her head up and was total class all over again. Brilliant!
I forgot about Cuba Gooding Jr. It was so refreshing to see his enthusiasm!
