Oscars 2012

It is known as Hollywood's biggest night, and it celebrated its 84th year. Last night was the annual Oscar Awards which honors the best of the best in Hollywood over the past year. What makes this night different from any other award ceremony is that is is a simple, elegant night.  Which is exactly what was brought to us. Actors and Actresses from across the country and world appeared live at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angelas. The simple interviews, the simple dresses, the simple awards. But when it comes to Hollywood, NOTHING is just simple.  Throughout the night, there were many "mishaps"  that stunned audiences. Starting off with Sasha Baron Cohen spilling something on Ryan Seacrest, then there was the whole Angelina Jole flashing audiences (by accident of course) and let's not forget the random Cirque Du Sole performance we got in the middle of it all. (Not much of a mishap, but still not simple) Above all the Oscar Ceremony seemed to have gone back to a simpler time...especially when it ended the night with the Best Picture of "The Artist" which is a silent film. talk about simpler. Right? But over all, another great night for Hollywood. Oh and I almost forgot about Billy Crystal. Great Job in your hosting, kept it simple, even with your show stopping musical numbers.
