The 81st Annual Academy Awards were held this past Sunday February 22nd. Let's just cut right to the chase because I know you want to know who won...however; it was pretty obvious that "Slumdog Millionaire" was going to clean house. It wasn't obvious that Sean Penn would win "Best Actor in a Leading Role" for his role in "Milk", but we all did suspect the most memorable drunken speech from Penn himself...it's Sean Penn for goodness sakes! As for the fashions this year at the Oscars: log onto http://www.oscar.com/ for all the style winners-and losers. On a side note: the Oscars were allegedly "recession friendly"; however, I just want you to all take note that there was over one million Swarovski crystals on the stage...just thought I'd put that out there!The Winners-for the categories we all didn't fall asleep in
Best Actor in a Leading Role-Sean Penn for "Milk"...????
Best Actress in a Leading Role-Kate Winslet for "The Reader"...FINALLY!!
Best Actor in a Supporting Role-Heath Ledger for "The Dark Knight"...duh!
Best Actress in a Supporting Role-Penelope Cruz for "Vicky Christina Barcelona...she was nominated?
For Best Picture, Directing, Music (song) & (score), Film Editing, Sound Mixing, Cinematography & Writing (adapted screenplay)- SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!!
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button walked away with three Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Make-up & Art Direction.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees!
Now, for what I've wanted to talk about for the longest time...hence why I'm speeding through the Oscar Review; CHRIS BROWN IS A WOMAN BEATER!
We all don't know what the whole story is, but apparently the night of the Grammy Awards Chris Brown and Rihanna had cancelled there performances last minute due the fact that Rihanna was in the hospital and Chris Brown was turning himself into police-only to be released on a $50,000 bail for domestic violence/abuse. The picture of Rihanna [posted on TMZ.com]speaks for itself-my question is, how can anybody do that much harm to the person they so-called "love"?! The story apparently goes like this:
Rihanna and Chris were attending the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party where they were last seen "happy".
Rihanna and Chris get into his sports car and get into an arguement in the car for reasons being the following:
She apparently cheated on him; he apparently cheated on her; she apparently gave him herpes...I'm sure the list goes on. From there, an angry Rihanna takes Chris' keys out of the ignition and throws them out the window on the grass outside.
Chris at this point "snaps" and punches her in the face repeatedly, bites her, attempts to strangle her, bashes her head against the glove compartment all while he threatens to kill her.
This for one is obviously NOT a healthy or safe relationship. Rihanna however is still willing to give him another chance because he sent her diamonds, flowers etc...you know-the whole nine of "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that...I wasn't thinking clearly". For one, Chris...your career is over! You will never bounce back into the spotlight after what you did. Rihanna, you need to drop the loser! You have so much going for you and your career will only fluorish! You can do better...don't be another Tina Turner & Ike Turner-it took her 15 years to leave him! You're young, beautiful and talented...he's only going to repeat what he's done.
Until the next rant...ciao for now dudes <3>
