It's Oscar Time!

Hello, dahhhhlings! It’s time to break out the popcorn and comfy PJs and settle in on the couch for one of my favorite nights of the year…Oscar night! This year is the EIGHTIETH time the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has handed out those little gold guys to all the brightest stars in Hollywood! Can you believe it? Sigh….one day you’ll see me up there. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll remember to thank all my BSG!

Fabulous Facts about the Academy Awards:

•    The first Academy Awards ceremony was held in 1929, only a few years after the first movie with sound came out.

•    Tickets to the first ceremony cost $5. Today, you can’t even buy them—it’s totally invitation-only.

•    In 1940, the Los Angeles Times printed the winners’ names hours before the ceremony! After that, the Academy switched to using sealed envelopes that no one gets to read before the show.

•    The ceremony has only been postponed three times: in 1938 because of a flood, in 1968 because of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, and in 1981 because of President Reagan’s attempted assassination.

•    Ever wondered what that little statue is supposed to be? He’s a knight with a sword, standing on top of a film reel with five spokes. The spokes represent the first five Academy branches: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers and Technicians.

•    For Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Walt Disney was given one big Oscar statue and seven smaller ones.

•    It takes twelve people and twenty hours to make a single Oscar statue.

•    I can’t believe it: three people have turned down Oscars! Actors Marlon Brando and George C. Scott, and screenwriter Dudley Nichols all said “no thanks” to Oscar.

Thank you so much for having me here tonight. I am very thankful to be receiving this award. Tonight is a very special night for me. This has been my biggest dream ever since I was a small girl. I would like to thank many people for this award, but it wouldn't be nice if everyone fell asleep, so I'll just name a few. For one, my parents, because they helped me through when I was little. Two, my three best friends, because they designed the outfit I'm wearing. And three, my favorite thing in the world, my dog, because he helped me through my nervousness all night last night. And once again, thank you.

Hiya, Maeve! I just finished Maeve On the Red Carpet! OMG! That was such an amazing book! But Maddie almost made me scream and pull my hair out. ;P But I'm sooooo happy for u! And think u and Apollo would make an awesome couple. smilies/grin.gif

Anyways, my speech would be,

"I'd first like to thank Maeve Kaplan-Taylor for teaching me to dream big, and never give up, even through hard times. Next, I'd like to thank my family and friends for supporting me every step of the way. Lastly, I'd like to thank all of you guys! All of you have helped my dream of being who I am now become a reality, and you don't know how grateful I am because of that! * Wipes little tear from corner of eye * I love all of you! Thanks so much, and have a fabulous night!"

LOL, like it? A bit dramatic, I know but still, doesn't that just melt people's hearts? smilies/cheesy.gif

Also, as much as I hate to admit it-grins- my little sister was a huge help too, though sometimes, I confess, I got a little bit irriatable...-laughs- and I would like to thank all the people who helped me and my audience. Thanks, you guys!-applause-. This is very special to me, and I will cherish this moment forever. Thanks again, everyone!"

What was up with the Oscars this yeaaR?
There were not many good winners...!
I can't believe that No Country for Old Men won best picture... that movie was so... undescribable (not in a good way)
I mean, out of all the movies that came out of 2007 they had to give awards to No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood?
That's why I'm not a really big fan of the Oscars, because only people in the Academy can vote for the winners.
And I especially thought that Pirates of the Caribbean should have won Makeup at least, it was much better then La Vie en Rose. If they saw the way the makeup artists put on Captain Jack Sparrow/Johnny Depp's makeup on Disney Channel then they probably would have voted for it instead.
And the Bourne Ultimatum should have won more then sound editing, sound mixing, and film editing. Seriously, they should have won best actor/actress, or maybe even best picture!
Julia Stiles, Matt Damon, goshhh people seriously!
If you're in the academy... you guyzz like seriously messed up.
I can't wait for the Kids Choice Awards, hahha
At least those are like sunshinneyy

And the award trophy (aka those famous surfboards) are awesome!

Well.
anyways.
My Speech.

I would like to thank my parents.
Because, without them, this dream would have never become a reality.
