and the Oscar goes to...

The Academy Awards are basically my own personal superbowl. I get very into it, offering up many... strong opinions. What I'm telling you is-it gets real y'all and this year was no exception. I saw everything nominated!!
 except "Still Alice" (missed it at the theatre-hoping to rent soon)
"The Imitation Game" (sorry heard it was boring)
"Foxcatcher" (dying to see this!!).
Again though, I saw everything else!!

just to be a real pain-here are some of my complaints this year....


I must say I'm disappointed Unbroken was left out....very disappointed...like it should have won best picture because it was the best ask anyone it's great!
Also, no nomination for Miles Teller? ummm ok whatever that's ridiculous.
Eddie Redmayne-you seem like a sweet man but for the love of God cut down on the concealer.
That guy cut Sienna Miller off like 3x at the podium ANNNND bumped into her-what the hec weirdo
Adam Levine's model wife keeps sticking her tongue out at the camera-do you know where you are girl? dumb. models are dumb.
They left out Joan Rivers. HOW DARE YOU
Was Common playing pretend air basketball as he rapped?
Everything is Awesome is not an awesome song-in fact I had to take medicine for a headache after.
no air conditioning? everyone was sweating!
