The Oscars 2014 Recap! P!nk! Jared Leto! Cate Blanchett! Kim Novak? Bette Midler!?! And One Epic Selfie!
The Oscars are over and it was fairly uneventful, everyone I thought would win, won and Gravity cleaned up on the technical awards and 12 Years a Slave took best picture and best supporting actress.
Thankfully Jared Leto won for Dallas Buyers Club had the shock of the night been Jonah Hill winning for The Wolf Of Wall Street it really would be the capper on a pretty stellar craptastic week.
I was hoping June Squibb would pull off an upset and get supporting, but it was a fairly uneventful night of awards really.
P!nk was amazing, Bette Midler was… Well… Odd… I like how she was simulating the wind as she sang, because you know… it’s the WIND Beneath My Wings. O—–Kay! Plus, was it me or did she just sound off?
and Kim Novak… Whoa honey. like wow.
It was great to see Goldie Hawn after so many years… and I loved how Bill Murray paid a small tribute to Harold Ramis.
Overall, it was rather bland, with the exception of one epic selfie.
Here’s another view!

Bette Midler was terrible
I love Pink, but she started shaky and her timing was off.
Travolta screwed up Idina Menzel’s name so badly and looked like he was on crack.
Did they even have a rehearsal for the presenters?
Harrison Ford, Zac Efron, and Kim Novak have apparently never seen a teleprompter.
The pizza delivery thing was stupid, not funny, and took up too much time.
I had my fingers crossed for Gravity to win, but as soon as Will Smith came out to present the best picture award, I knew it wasn’t going to happen.
