Random Snowflakes: post-Oscars post

After the Oscars, I was too lazy to blog, but because Shiela blogged about it—and she can be such an influential woman sometimes—here I am.

I just have a couple of things to say...

Disney's "Enchanted" had three entries for Best Original Song out of the five nominated and they didn't win.

Amy Adams got to sing "Happy Working Song" all by herself onstage. It's supposed to be a "happy" song. She really didn't have to sing it all alone...

And who's the girl who sang "That's How You Know"? Why her? She wasn't even in the movie! O_O

I guess Oscar wasn't friendly to Disney's babies this year.

ARGH my thoughts exactly. It would have been much better if Amy Adams had some people with her on stage, even if it wasn't pigeons and mice. The species of her "little friends" weren't included in the lyrics, anyway, so it could have well been kids... Or kids in "vermin" costumes or something. Ah, but I guess they put most of their choreography efforts on That's How You Know.

About That's How You Know: Amy Adams should have been the one to sing it! Although it was nice that she danced in So Close, but you can get anybody else to dance. And, okay, maybe they didn't want Amy Adams to lose her voice because she was going to be one of the presentors... But still—!

Just to set records straight: I like Kristin Chenoweth. She's an awesome Broadway actress, but seriously? She didn't do justice to the song. It's not that she's not a good singer, but she is just not Giselle. And she was slouching in her performances. Princesses don't slouch. Rawr. I've seen her be more...princess-y.

And I SO wanted That's How You Know (or So Close) to win for Best Original song. Falling Slowly has lovely lyrics and nice melodies, too, but... *sigh*

And was it just me, or did the sounds go weird several times into the show? -_-

Anyway. Let's move on to positive thoughts.

Glen Hansard's guitar rocks! Haha! I love the "very, very, VERY used" look to it. Heehee.

Jon Stewart was an awesome host. I loved his punchlines. His opening monologue rocked!

You know another way they could show respect for the writers? Uh, maybe one day invite some of them to the Vanity Fair Oscar party. They would enjoy it.

Ah, but my most favorite quote would be from Scott Rudin, the producer of No Country for Old Men, when accepting the award for Best Film.
